    What is the Business Analysis Foundation and Practitioner certification?

    It is a combined EXIN BCS credential that validates both foundational business analysis knowledge and the ability to apply BA techniques in practice.

    Yes. EXIN operates in over 165 countries and BCS is the UK's chartered professional body for IT, so the credential is recognised internationally, including across China's technology, finance and consulting sectors that run large transformation programmes.

    What standard is the certification based on?

    Both levels are aligned to the BCS Business Analysis Body of Knowledge (BCS BoK) and delivered against the official EXIN BCS Foundation and Practitioner Examination Specifications, which cover investigation, requirements, modelling, stakeholder management and business cases.

    How long are the certifications valid?

    Both the Foundation and Practitioner certifications are for lifetime. Neither credential expires, and no renewal, re-examination or continuing education is required to keep them.
