    What Is the EXIN BCS Business Analysis Certification?Your Route into Business Analysis

    The Business Analysis Foundation and Practitioner (BA F&P) certification is a combined EXIN BCS credential that takes you from foundational business analysis knowledge to the applied practice of eliciting requirements, modelling processes and building a justified business case. It is governed by EXIN in partnership with BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, and aligned to the BCS Business Analysis Body of Knowledge. Business analysis is one of the fastest-growing skill areas in Australia, with strong demand across banking, government, telecommunications and digital transformation programmes in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra. This training prepares you for two separate EXIN examinations: the Foundation exam, which tests knowledge across 14 topic areas, and the scenario-based Practitioner exam across seven applied topic areas. Delivered in live virtual, classroom and corporate formats as a 32-hour programme, the course suits aspiring analysts, IT professionals moving into a business analyst role, and practising analysts formalising their knowledge. Both credentials are lifetime and recognised internationally, so you can start your business analysis journey with Invensis Learning and prove your capability to Australian employers.

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