The IIBA® has developed the certification exams in a way that is based on a competency model developed by industry business analysts and coordinated and delivered by the IIBA®. The reason that the competency-based approach is followed is to demonstrate to employers that business analysts who have the CCBA® or CBAP® qualification have the required skills, knowledge, and experience in business analysis. It evaluates your understanding and ability to apply business analysis skills, tasks, tools, and techniques, and also validates your key competencies.
