    What Is the EXIN BCS Business Analysis Certification?UntitledYour Route from Foundation to Practitioner

    The Business Analysis Foundation and Practitioner (BA F&P) certification is a two-level credential from EXIN, awarded in partnership with BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT. This Business Analysis certification training in the United Arab Emirates takes you through both levels in one structured journey, from foundational concepts to applied, scenario-based practice. As the UAE accelerates its Digital Economy Strategy and banks, government entities and PropTech firms invest in transformation, employers across Dubai and Abu Dhabi need analysts who can turn business needs into clear, deliverable requirements. The Foundation level covers 14 topic areas at a knowledge level, while the Practitioner level tests applied technique across 7 scenario-based areas, both aligned to the BCS Business Analysis Body of Knowledge. You sit two separate EXIN exams, each 40 questions with a 65% pass mark, and both certifications are valid for life with no renewal. Whether you are moving into business analysis or formalising years of practice, this is a recognised, career-defining step. Start your journey with Invensis Learning.

    Invensis Learning is an EXIN Accredited Training Provider in United Arab Emirates, approved to deliver official Business Analysis training using EXIN-aligned courseware and the EXIN Business Analysis Certification Examination Content Outline(ECO).

    Exam

    What is the format of the EXIN Foundation exam?

    The Foundation exam has 40 closed-book, single-answer multiple-choice questions to complete in 60 minutes. The pass mark is 65%, meaning 26 of 40 correct. It covers 14 topic areas aligned to the BCS Business Analysis Body of Knowledge.

    What is the format of the EXIN Practitioner exam?

    The Practitioner exam has 40 closed-book, scenario-based multiple-choice questions in 60 minutes, with the same 65% pass mark. Each question presents a project scenario that tests how you apply business analysis techniques across 7 topic areas.

    How many exams are there and are prerequisites required?

    There are two separate EXIN exams, and you must pass both to hold both credentials. The Foundation level has no formal prerequisites, and the Foundation certificate is the recommended prerequisite before you sit the Practitioner exam.

    Where can I take the EXIN exams in the UAE?

    You can sit both exams online through EXIN's online proctored system, or at an EXIN accredited testing location. Exams are typically arranged through your accredited training provider as part of the combined programme.

    Do I need prior experience to join?

    No. The Foundation level is open to all, with no formal prerequisites, so beginners can start here. Practising analysts benefit from the Practitioner level, which applies techniques to realistic scenarios. Hands-on case studies support learners at every level.

    What learning materials are provided?
