A BCS-quality-assured credential is widely recognised on UK job specifications and supports roles from Business Analyst to Senior BA and beyond.

    Who should take this programme?

    It suits aspiring business analysts, project managers adding BA skills, IT professionals moving into analysis, and practising analysts formalising their knowledge. The Foundation level is open to everyone, so no prior experience is required to begin.

    How long are the certifications valid?

    Both the Foundation and Practitioner certifications are for lifetime. Neither expires, and there is no renewal, re-examination or continuing-education requirement once you pass.

    What is the connection between EXIN and BCS?

    Both credentials are developed and quality-assured by EXIN in partnership with BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, the UK's chartered professional body for IT. The exams are aligned to the BCS Business Analysis Body of Knowledge.

    Pricing

    How much does the BA Foundation and Practitioner training cost in the UK?

    Training fees vary by format and schedule, and the combined programme is usually purchased as a training and dual-exam package. For current UK pricing, request a quote and a learning advisor will share the options that suit you.

    What is included in the course fee?

    The fee typically includes BCS-aligned courseware, case studies, Foundation and Practitioner mock exams, learner support and a course completion certificate. Exam voucher inclusion varies by package, so confirm this when you enrol. Ask about corporate or group pricing for teams.

    Are the exam fees part of the training price?

    Exam voucher inclusion depends on the package you choose. EXIN exam pricing varies by region and purchasing channel, so we confirm exactly what is included before you enrol. Request a quote for a clear breakdown.

    Do you offer group or corporate discounts?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for delivery teams, PMOs and change functions. Contact us for a tailored quote for your organisation.

    What payment options are available?

    We accept major credit and debit cards and bank transfers, with instalment options on selected plans. Speak with a learning advisor to choose the option that works best for you.

    Exam

    What is the format of the two BA exams?

    The Foundation exam is closed book with 40 single-answer multiple-choice questions. The Practitioner exam is closed book with 40 scenario-based multiple-choice questions that test how you apply techniques. Both are aligned to the EXIN BCS Examination Specifications and the BCS Business Analysis Body of Knowledge.

    How many questions are on each exam and how long are they?

    Each exam has 40 questions and lasts 60 minutes. The Foundation exam tests knowledge and comprehension, while the Practitioner exam tests application and analysis through realistic project scenarios.

    What is the passing score?

    The passing score for both exams is 65%, which is 26 correct answers out of 40. Passing both the Foundation and Practitioner exams earns you both credentials.

    Are there prerequisites to sit the exams?

    The Foundation exam has no formal prerequisites and is open to all. The EXIN BCS Foundation Certificate is the recommended prerequisite for the Practitioner level, which is why the combined programme covers Foundation first.

    Where can I take the exams?

    Both exams can be taken online through EXIN's online proctored system or at an EXIN accredited testing location. They are typically arranged through the accredited training package as part of your programme.

    What if I do not pass on the first attempt?

    You can re-sit an EXIN exam by booking a new voucher; verify the current re-sit policy at exin.com. Our preparation includes mock exams and case studies designed to help you go into both exams ready and confident.

    Course Content

    What topics does the training cover?

    Foundation covers business analysis concepts, investigation techniques, requirements engineering, business modelling, stakeholder management and business cases. Practitioner covers applying these across strategy, current-situation analysis, stakeholders, modelling, solution options and building the business case.

    Can a complete beginner take this course?

    Yes. The Foundation level assumes no prior business analysis experience and builds knowledge from the ground up. The Practitioner level then develops applied skills, so the programme takes you from beginner to practising analyst in one route.

    How long is the training?

    The combined programme is a 32-hour course, typically delivered as four full days, with Foundation content first and Practitioner content after. Schedules can also run over more days at fewer hours per day to suit working professionals.

    Is the courseware aligned to the current standard?

    Yes. The courseware is aligned to the EXIN BCS Foundation and Practitioner Examination Specifications and the BCS Business Analysis Body of Knowledge, so you study the current, quality-assured content for both levels.

    Are practice materials and mock exams included?

    Yes. The programme includes industry-driven case studies and Foundation and Practitioner practice questions and mock exams, so you can identify weak areas and rehearse both the single-answer and scenario-based formats.
