Continuing with my previous blog on
comparative study on certification options available for launching a Business
Analysis Career successfully, here, I am presenting the comparative
study to help you to identify your mid-level career needs by selecting the
correct certification to stay ahead.
This
comparative study will also help a BA professional to understand the
certification in terms of the syllabus to strengthen and validate
Business Analysis knowledge and skills and its acceptance level.
This
blog is also important to IT recruiters in understanding the value of
"Certifications" presented by potential employees to align their
recruitment needs.
Although the chart contains the data about all the institutes mentioned previously, the real comparison is between BCS (ISEB), UK, IIBA, Canada and IREB, Germany as PMI and Universities offer ONLY one level of certification currently.

ReplyDeleteVery informative. For the Agile world, the CSPO (Certified Scrum Product Owner) and CSP (Certified Scrum Professional) are two other options. The CSPO is an entry level required for the CSP and the CSP is a focused on Scrum experience, but a nice thing to have if you are a BA or PO (Product Owner) with in the scum setting.
