The New International Diploma in Business Analysis

What this means to you and your business analysts

ISEB has just announced a restructuring of the Business Analysis Diploma, which has been re-launched as the International Diploma in Business Analysis.

The original Diploma required candidates to pass three core and one specialist modules. However, the new structure has two core modules and requires candidates to pass two specialist modules, one from a knowledge-based set and one from a practitioner set. This structure includes the knowledge-based ISEB foundation modules in the scheme and gives candidates greater choice and flexibility.

Structure of the new ISEB BA Diploma

Core modules – two mandatory modules	Knowledge-based specialism – one module from this set	Practitioner specialism – one module from this set
Business Analysis Essentials	Organisational Context	Modelling Business Processes
Requirements Engineering	Foundation Certificate in Business Analysis	Systems Modelling Techniques
	Foundation Certificate in IT-enabled Business Change	Benefits Management & Business Acceptance
	Foundation Certificate in Project Management	Systems Development Essentials

Course Dates

Candidates who are part way through their Diploma will have at least 12 months to complete their programmes under the old scheme. Full details about the transformation from the old to the new structure will be announced shortly and we will make sure we keep you informed.
