Overview

To gain the International Diploma in Business Analysis, candidates must pass four one-hour written examinations on a number of business analysis topics, each of which leads to a certificate which has value in its own right. To convert their set of certificates into the Diploma, candidates then attend an interview with two ISEB examiners to confirm their technical, business and interpersonal competencies.

This qualification covers SFIA skills BUAN4 & 5 and UNAN4 & 5.

Core Modules

There are two core modules in the Diploma, which all candidates must attain. These modules may be gained in any order.

Specialist Modules

Candidates must choose one "knowledge-based" module and one "practitioner" module to complete their set of certificates. Which they choose will depend on their own background and preferences (business versus technical, for example), what their organisation requires and the nature of their current roles. The available modules are:

Knowledge-based:

ISEB Certificate in Organisational Context
This module considers the organisational context in which all business analysis takes place. This module is relevant to all analysts who wish to be sensitive to and contribute to the organisational environment they work in.
ISEB Foundation Certificate in Business Analysis
This module provides a broad introduction to the scope and interpretation of business analysis.
ISEB Foundation Certificate in IT-Enabled Business Change
This module stresses the need to align IT with business, implementing business changes that deliver benefits to the organisation. It should appeal to analysts whose work is primarily concerned with delivering business change through IT solutions.
ISEB Foundation Certificate in Project Management
Most business analysis takes place within the project environment. This module introduces the principles of project management within a specific IT context and should appeal to those working on projects where IT is part of the proposed solution.

Practitioner:

ISEB Certificate in Modelling Business Processes
This module provides more detailed coverage of the techniques for business process improvement.
ISEB Certificate in Systems Development Essentials
This module is suited to business analysts who need a good understanding of systems development.
ISEB Certificate in Systems Modelling Techniques
This module provides a more detailed knowledge of the techniques used in modelling IT systems. The techniques covered on this module are those from the Unified Modeling Language (UML).
ISEB Certificate in Benefits Management and Business Acceptance
This module explores the issues concerned with the delivery of successful business change solutions, including the user acceptance and benefits management.

Oral Examination

The oral examination lasts for approximately 50 minutes and the candidate is required to demonstrate that they can put the competencies gained in the written examinations into a coherent context. Each candidate must also demonstrate the interpersonal skills required to function effectively as a business analyst.
