    What Is Business Analysis Foundation and Practitioner Certification?UntitledYour Complete Foundation to Practitioner Pathway

    The Business Analysis Foundation and Practitioner Certification (BA-F and BA-P) is a combined EXIN BCS programme that takes you from foundational business analysis knowledge to applied practitioner skill in a single route. Delivered as Business Analysis certification training in Switzerland, it prepares you for two separate EXIN examinations, both developed in partnership with BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, and aligned to the BCS Business Analysis Body of Knowledge (BCS BoK). The Foundation level builds comprehension of core concepts across 14 topic areas, from investigation techniques and stakeholder analysis to requirements engineering, business modelling and the business case. The Practitioner level then tests how you apply those tools in realistic project scenarios across seven applied topic areas, so you leave able to do the work, not just describe it. This dual credential suits aspiring analysts, project managers adding requirements skill, and IT professionals moving into a BA role across Switzerland's banking, insurance, pharma and technology sectors. With a 32-hour instructor-led programme and support to pass both exams, Invensis Learning gives you a clear, guided path from study to certified.

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

The dual EXIN BCS credential gives you a BCS-backed, lifetime qualification that Swiss and international employers recognise.

    What are the EXIN BCS Business Analysis Foundation and Practitioner certifications?

    The Foundation certificate validates knowledge of business analysis concepts and techniques, while the Practitioner certificate validates your ability to apply them in real project scenarios. Both are developed in partnership with BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, and aligned to the BCS Business Analysis Body of Knowledge.

    Who should take this business analysis certification?

    It suits aspiring analysts, project managers adding requirements skills, IT professionals moving into a BA role, and practising analysts who want to formalise their knowledge. There are no prerequisites for the Foundation level, so beginners are welcome.

    Who governs these business analysis credentials?

    The credentials are awarded by EXIN, the Examination Institute for Information Science, in partnership with BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT. EXIN operates in over 165 countries and BCS is the UK's chartered body for IT, giving the certification strong recognition across Europe and beyond.

    How long are the certifications valid?

    Fees vary by delivery format and schedule, so pricing is available on request. The training fee typically covers courseware, mock exams and exam preparation, while EXIN exam voucher pricing varies by region and channel. Request a quote for current Switzerland pricing.

    What is included in the course fee?

    Do you offer group or corporate discounts?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for teams and departments across Switzerland. Contact us for a tailored group quote.

    What payment options are available?

    We accept major credit and debit cards and bank transfers, with instalment options on selected plans. Speak with a learning advisor to choose the option that suits you.

    Are the exam fees part of the training price?

    EXIN bills exam voucher fees separately, and pricing varies by region and purchasing channel. Many combined packages bundle both exam vouchers with the training, so confirm the current inclusion when you request a quote.

    Exam

    What is the format of the Foundation exam?

    The Foundation exam has 40 closed-book, single-answer multiple-choice questions to complete in 60 minutes. The passing score is 65 percent, meaning 26 of 40 correct. It tests comprehension of business analysis concepts across 14 topic areas.

    What is the format of the Practitioner exam?

    The Practitioner exam also has 40 closed-book multiple-choice questions in 60 minutes, with the same 65 percent pass mark. Its questions are scenario-based, presenting realistic project situations that test how you apply BA techniques across seven topic areas.

    How many exams are in the combined programme?

    There are two separate EXIN exams, one for Foundation and one for Practitioner. You must sit and pass both to hold both credentials. The Foundation exam is usually taken first, as it is the recommended prerequisite for the Practitioner level.

    Where can I take the exams?

    Both exams are delivered through EXIN's online proctored system or at an EXIN accredited testing location. They are typically arranged through your accredited training provider as part of the combined package.

    What if I do not pass on the first attempt?

    You can re-sit the exam by purchasing a new voucher; verify the current re-sit policy with EXIN. Our training includes mock exams, practice questions and first-attempt guidance to help you pass both exams the first time.

    Course Content

    Can a beginner take this course?

    Yes. The Foundation level has no formal prerequisites and is open to all, so beginners can start here. The training builds from core concepts to applied practitioner scenarios, with trainer support and hands-on case studies throughout.

    What topics does the training cover?

    The training covers investigation techniques, stakeholder analysis, strategy analysis, business process and requirements modelling, requirements engineering and the business case at Foundation level, then applies all of these through scenario-based practice at Practitioner level.

    How long is the training programme?

    The combined instructor-led programme runs for 32 hours, typically delivered as four full days. Foundation content is usually covered first, followed by the applied Practitioner content, preparing you for both examinations.

    Which standard is the course aligned to?

    The course is aligned to the official EXIN BCS Foundation and Practitioner Examination Specifications, both based on the BCS Business Analysis Body of Knowledge. This keeps the content current with what both exams actually assess.

    Are practice tests and materials included?

    Yes. You receive BCS-aligned courseware, industry case studies, and mock exams and practice questions for both the Foundation and Practitioner levels, so you can identify weak areas and build exam readiness.

    Enrollment

    How do I enrol in the course?
