Did you know that the CCBA® and CBAP® exams will now be part of a tiered competency model? This new multi-level, competency-based certification model offers four certifications to business analysts. The model was designed to recognize the BA professional through their career progression and to support more opportunities for growth and development. CCBA® and CBAP® certifications will map to levels 2 and 3 respectively in this multi-level enhanced certification program. These two levels are considered the global standard of practice for business analysts. Check it out.
