IIBA CBAP Study Groups
We launched FREE study groups for individuals preparing for IIBA's Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP) exam, a prestigious certification that recognises advanced expertise in business analysis.
Our inaugural session took place on May 9th, followed by the second session on May 23rd. Both sessions were a great success ππ. Thank you to everyone who participated π.
Each session covers new topics from the BABOK Guide, ensuring thorough preparation for the CBAP exam.
This certification, offered by the International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA), is highly regarded in the industry and demonstrates a deep understanding of business analysis principles and practices.
In May, we partnered with Morgan McKinley to host our upcoming in-person event, "Business Analysis in Agile," scheduled for June 20th, 2024.
