Course Overview
Did you know the demand for business analysts is projected to grow 10% by 2032, faster than the average for all occupations (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics)? This rising demand means more professionals are pursuing credentials like the ECBA™ to validate their skills. Yet, without proper exam preparation, many find the process overwhelming and struggle to demonstrate credibility.
The Entry Certificate in Business Analysis (ECBA®) Certification Exam Prep course solves this challenge by providing the knowledge, practice, and confidence you need to succeed. Over three days, you’ll learn key concepts from the BABOK® Guide, practice with exam questions, and engage in interactive exercises that reinforce real-world application. This course also satisfies the 21 hours of professional development training required to sit for the ECBA exam.
