What is CCBA Certification?
A CCBA® (Certification of Capability in Business Analysis™) is the level two professional certification from the International Institute of Business Analysis™ (IIBA®) for business analysis practitioners who want to be recognized for their expertise and skills by earning formal recognition. The CCBA certification acknowledges business analysts with roughly 2-3 years of experience who demonstrate the ability to take on greater responsibility. Applicants must meet certain eligibility requirements in order to be admitted to the exam, and upon passing the exam, receive the CCBA certification credential.

"I took Watermark’s CCBA Exam Prep class with you last Fall. I believe Watermark's resources helped me pass the exam the first time. The study guide and the online practice exams helped me understand the relationships between all those tasks, techniques, and elements. The brain dump before starting the exam was an excellent idea. I referred to it numerous times to reason out the best answer. And the mnemonics were the best."
—Jean Getz, CCBA (United States)
"I passed my CCBA exam!! I attended the CCBA Certification Prep training, which was extremely helpful to outline the full scope of the BABOK and to give very helpful guidelines on key items that need to be understood. I read the BABOK twice. The Study Guide is a must have! It helped to define the level of concept details to study and had very useful quick tests and tasks to help remember details. The online drills and exams brought everything together and gave a good baseline to test my knowledge and restudy areas that were lacking. Also, the suggestions given to get through the exam on the day were invaluable. I plan to take the CBAP next year!"
—Helena Gabrić, CCBA (Croatia)
I really appreciated the many study aids, study prep approaches and test-day tips the instructor provided, as well as the exam simulations, which went a long way to helping me feel extremely well-prepared on test day. Thank you!
