    What Is the Business Analysis Foundation and Practitioner Certification?UntitledA Complete Entry-To-Practitioner Pathway

    The Business Analysis Foundation and Practitioner Certification (BA F&P) is a combined, internationally recognised qualification that validates both your foundational knowledge of business analysis and your ability to apply BA techniques in real project scenarios. It is governed by EXIN in partnership with BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, and aligned to the BCS Business Analysis Body of Knowledge (BCS BoK). In Japan, a widely reported IT talent shortage and a national digital transformation push have made skilled business analysts central to how organisations deliver change. This business analysis certification training in Japan covers both levels in one structured journey: the Foundation spans 14 core topic areas, and the Practitioner tests applied technique across 7 scenario-based areas. Whether you are moving into business analysis from IT, project management or a business role, you gain two lifetime credentials, a clear exam path, and the elicitation, modelling and business-case skills employers hire for. Start your business analyst journey with Invensis Learning.

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

    You can enrol through the Invensis Learning website or by contacting our team. Choose your format, complete payment, and you receive access to schedules, courseware and resources. See upcoming batches or talk to a learning advisor to begin.

    What training formats are available in Japan?

    We offer online (live virtual) instructor-led training, classroom sessions, and customised corporate group training, so you can choose the format that fits your schedule and learning style.

    Do I need any experience to enrol?

    No. Anyone can enrol, as the Foundation level has no prerequisites. The programme then prepares you for the Practitioner level, for which the Foundation is the recommended prerequisite.

    Can I reschedule or transfer my enrolment?

    Yes. Flexible options let you reschedule or transfer to another batch where available. Contact our support team to arrange this before your batch begins.

    What is the refund or cancellation policy?

    Refunds and cancellations follow our published policy, and selected plans include a money-back option. Reach out to our team for the details that apply to your enrolment.
