    Frequently Asked QuestionsHere's everything you may ask...

    Yes. The combined EXIN BCS credential proves you can turn business needs into workable solutions, a skill New Zealand employers hire for across banking, government and technology. BA salaries in NZ average around NZ$105,000, and certified, experienced analysts are in short supply, so the certification supports both roles and pay.

    General

    Is the Business Analysis Foundation and Practitioner certification worth it?

    Yes. The combined EXIN BCS credential proves you can turn business needs into workable solutions, a skill New Zealand employers hire for across banking, government and technology. BA salaries in NZ average around NZ$105,000, and certified, experienced analysts are in short supply, so the certification supports both roles and pay.

    What is the BA Foundation and Practitioner certification?

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

    Who should take this business analysis certification?

    It suits aspiring business analysts, IT professionals and testers moving into BA roles, project team members, product owners, and practising analysts who want to formalise their knowledge. The combined programme offers a complete entry-to-practitioner journey in a single course.

    Is the certification recognised in New Zealand?

    Yes. EXIN operates in over 165 countries and BCS is the UK's chartered professional body for IT, so the credential is recognised in New Zealand and internationally. It has particularly strong standing in the UK, Commonwealth, Europe and Asia-Pacific markets.

    How long is the certification valid?

    Both the Foundation and Practitioner certifications are for lifetime. Neither credential expires, and there is no renewal, re-examination or continuing education requirement once you have passed.

    Pricing

    How much does business analysis training cost in New Zealand?

    Fees vary by delivery format and whether exam vouchers are bundled, so pricing is available on request. The combined training and dual exam package is the most complete option. Talk to a learning advisor for a quote that fits your goals.

    What is included in the course fee?

    The fee typically includes EXIN BCS aligned courseware, industry case studies, practice questions and mock exams for both levels, and learner support. Exam voucher inclusion varies by package, so confirm this when you enrol. Request a quote to see what your plan includes.

    Are the exam fees included in the price?

    Exam voucher inclusion depends on the package you choose. EXIN exam pricing also varies by region and purchasing channel. Confirm whether the Foundation and Practitioner vouchers are bundled when you enrol, or ask us to quote a training and dual exam package.

    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.

    Exam

    What is the format of the Foundation and Practitioner exams?

    Both exams are closed book with 40 questions and a 60-minute duration, and both require 65 percent to pass (26 of 40). The Foundation exam uses single-answer multiple-choice questions across 14 topic areas; the Practitioner exam uses scenario-based questions across seven topic areas.

    How many exams are in the combined programme?

    There are two separate exams: the Foundation exam and the Practitioner exam. You must sit and pass both to hold both credentials. The Foundation exam is typically taken first, followed by the scenario-based Practitioner exam.

    What standard are the exams based on?

    Both exams follow the EXIN BCS Foundation and Practitioner Examination Specifications, which are aligned to the BCS Business Analysis Body of Knowledge and developed in partnership with BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT.

    Do I need to pass Foundation before Practitioner?

    The EXIN BCS Foundation Certificate is the recommended prerequisite for the Practitioner level. Foundation has no formal prerequisites and is open to all, so the combined programme takes you through both in sequence.

    Where can I take the exams?

    You can sit both exams online through EXIN's online proctored system, or at an EXIN accredited testing location. They are usually arranged through an accredited training provider as part of the combined training and dual exam package.

    Do I need prior experience to take this course?

    No. The Foundation level has no formal prerequisites and is suitable for those new to business analysis. The programme builds from core concepts to applied practitioner techniques, so beginners and career changers can follow it with the support provided.

    What topics does the training cover?

    Foundation covers 14 topic areas including investigation techniques, stakeholder management, process and requirements modelling, and business cases. Practitioner covers seven applied areas such as strategic context, current-situation analysis, solution options and business case building.

    Are practice tests and mock exams included?

    Yes. The programme includes practice questions and mock exams for both the Foundation and Practitioner levels, along with industry case studies, to help you identify weak areas and build readiness for both papers.

    Is the courseware aligned to the current specification?

    Yes. The courseware is aligned to the current EXIN BCS Foundation and Practitioner Examination Specifications and the BCS Business Analysis Body of Knowledge, so you study the material the exams actually assess.
