    Exam

    What is the format of the EXIN BCS Foundation exam?

    The Foundation exam is a closed-book, multiple-choice paper of 40 single-answer questions to be completed in 60 minutes. The pass mark is 65 percent, which is 26 out of 40 correct. It is available online proctored or at an EXIN accredited location.

    How does the Practitioner exam differ from the Foundation exam?

    The Practitioner exam is also 40 questions in 60 minutes, closed book, with a 65 percent pass mark, but its questions are scenario-based and test the application and analysis of business analysis techniques rather than recall. It builds on the Foundation-level knowledge.

    Are there prerequisites for the exams?

    The Foundation certificate has no formal prerequisites and is open to all. The Foundation certificate is the recommended prerequisite for the Practitioner certificate, which is why the combined programme covers both levels in sequence.

    How many exams are in the combined programme?

    There are two separate EXIN examinations: the Foundation exam and the Practitioner exam. You must sit and pass both to hold both credentials. They are typically arranged through an EXIN Accredited Training Provider as part of the combined package.

    What if I do not pass an exam on the first attempt?

    You can re-sit an EXIN exam; re-sit policy and any fees are confirmed by EXIN. Our training includes mock exams, practice questions and first-attempt guidance for both levels to help you prepare thoroughly and reduce the risk of a re-sit.

    Course Content

    What topics does the course cover?

    The Foundation part covers 14 topic areas including investigation techniques, requirements engineering, business process modelling, stakeholder analysis and the business case. The Practitioner part covers seven applied topic areas, all assessed through realistic project scenarios.

    Can a beginner take this course?

    Yes. The Foundation level assumes no prior business analysis knowledge and is open to all, so beginners can start here. The programme then progresses to applied Practitioner techniques, with trainer support and practice throughout.

    The course is aligned to the EXIN BCS Foundation and Practitioner Examination Specifications and the BCS Business Analysis Body of Knowledge, quality-assured by BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT.

    How long is the training and what is the format?

    The combined programme is delivered as 32 hours of instructor-led training, typically covering Foundation content first and Practitioner content second. It is available in live virtual, classroom and corporate group formats.
