I joined Simplilearn for CBAP certification program. The course material is good. The customer support team assists in enrolling for the certification and they also provide CBAP reference for you. They ask for regular feedback throughout the course and do implement them. The course is interactive. Sometimes the participants raise questions during the class and interrupt the flow of the session. My suggestion is it will be better if the trainer can proceed with class and keep the discussion at the end of the session. For any kind of assistance, you can contact the support and they are always happy to help.

    • What other resources are available for learning the concepts other than the BABOK® Guide?

      The BABOK® Guide is the ideal resource and provides most of the reference materials. We also recommend using Simplilearn’s CBAP® Certification course materials, which are highly focused on the exam.

    • Where can I access the practice exams? Does the IIBA® provide practice tests?

      Simplilearn is an Endorsed Education Provider and offers CBAP® exam simulations / mock test papers. We provide around 700 questions in our CBAP® Online Study Exam. The IIBA® does not provide sample tests.

    • How do I sign up for the exam? How much does it cost?

      Certification requires a two-step process.

      • First, you must submit your application with the application fee (non-refundable) and pass the initial screening process for the CBAP® exams.
      • Once the IIBA® assesses your qualifications for the exam, you should schedule a date for the exam with the official testing agency. You will receive an email with the instructions once your reservation is approved.

      The CBAP® exam has a time limit of three and a half hours and consists of 120 multiple choice questions.

The exam assesses the candidate’s practical applications of the defined competencies for this Level 3 certification in the IIBA® Certification framework.

    • After completion of the application, how long does it take to get approved?

      The IIBA® will notify you that your application is being processed within two weeks of receiving the application. The IIBA® assesses the application for completeness of the certification requirements and will notify you of the results within 21 days of receiving the application via email.

      Yes. 25 hours of professional development (PD) training are required before you may submit your application. However, you do not need to submit a course certificate with your application.
