BECOME AN EXPERT BUSINESS ANALYST & CHARTERED PROFESSIONAL

Where do I start?

Wherever you are in your career today, by mapping your competencies on the SFIA framework you’ll identify steps to progressing your skills and professionalism.

The IS Business Analyst apprenticeship and BCS Business Analysis certification align with SFIA levels 3 to 7 – offering flexible learning to suit your chosen BA specialisms, and international recognition of your achievement.

When you pass your first BCS certificate, you receive complimentary Associate (AMBCS) membership and are eligible to apply for a place on the public RITTech register, confirming your professional status.

Become a chartered BA

Demonstrate your credibility and commitment to business analysis at the highest level by reaching chartered status and appearing on the CITP register. To become chartered, you’ll need to evidence your competence and experience in a series of personal statements and an interview with chartered assessors.

The path to professionalism

Your business analysis journey is as unique as you are, but there’s a quality that runs through every successful BA career – professionalism.

Plot your professional BA journey with BCS and discover globally-recognised certification, BCS membership and professional registration along the way, all aligned with the industry-standard skills and competency framework SFIA / SFIAplus*.

*The Skills Framework for the Information Age (SFIA) is the UK Government backed competency framework that describes IT roles and the skills needed for them. SFIAplus contains the SFIA framework of IT skills plus detailed training and development resources.
