Overview
QAI’s Business Analyst certifications aim to help candidates effectively bridge the knowledge and language gap between the business and IT communities. Certification is recommended as a means to define the Common Body of Knowledge for the practice of business analysis and evaluate an individual’s ability to apply that knowledge to practice. QAI’s Certified Software Business Analyst (CSBA) is a Practitioner Level Certification for Business Analysts, Project Managers/Leads and Software Architects. CSBA demonstrates proficiency in application of business analysis skills to real life scenarios and managing the link between the Business & IT communities. QAI’s CSBA Common Body of Knowledge (CBoK) goes beyond the traditional "Requirements Management" skills and has layer of IT skills over the Business Analysis competencies to provide strong alignment to the role of an IT Business Analyst. The online CSBA exam prep program is a set of web-based tutorial sessions for each of the nine CSBA CBoK skill categories. The course aids an individual in preparing for the exam by providing an understanding of the core concepts and a simulation of the actual exam questions by exercises at the end of each module. The prep program has been created by QAI Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) with 15+ years of consulting and training experience in domains like Software Engineering, Project Management, Business Analysis and Process Improvements.
