Hi, I'm Afaq

CBAP® PMP® CSPO® CSM® A-CSPO® MSc. Computer Science

I started in tech believing coding was the only path. After a few months staring at lines of code, I realised it wasn't for me. That's when I discovered Business Analysis — a career that let me stay in tech while solving real problems, shaping strategy, and working with people.

Since then I've built a 15+ year career across Wealth Management, Insurance, FinTech, Retail, Healthcare, Aviation and Telecom — leading multi-million dollar projects as a BA, Product Owner and Team Leader.

I hold the CBAP® myself and I know exactly what it takes to pass — what BABOK® really asks in exam scenarios, which knowledge areas catch candidates off guard, and how to build the exam confidence that practice alone can't give you. I built this course to give you what I wish I'd had.

FAQ

Common Questions

What exactly is CBAP® and why should I pursue it?

CBAP® (Certified Business Analysis Professional) is the highest-level BA certification from IIBA® — the global governing body for the profession. It validates advanced BA expertise and signals to employers that you're capable of leading complex, strategic initiatives. It's the credential that gets senior BAs promoted, earns them higher rates, and makes them much harder to replace.

Do I meet the eligibility requirements?

You're eligible if you have: at least 7,500 hours of BA work experience in the last 10 years, 900 hours spread across at least 4 of the 6 BABOK® knowledge areas, 35 PD hours in the last 4 years (which our course provides), and two professional references. If you're not yet at 7,500 hours, ask us about ECBA® or CCBA® as stepping stones.

Does your course cover the entire BABOK® Guide?

Yes — completely. The course is structured around BABOK® v3 and covers all 6 knowledge areas, all 30+ techniques, underlying competencies, and perspectives. Unlike self-study, we also show you how BABOK® concepts are tested in exam scenarios — which is where most self-study candidates fall short.

How long will it take to prepare?

Most students complete their preparation in 2–3 months with a consistent weekly study schedule. We provide a structured plan so you always know what to study and when. Because everything is self-paced with lifetime access, you can go at whatever speed fits your life — without any content expiring.

How are your mock exams different from free practice questions?

Free practice questions are typically outdated, surface-level or poorly written. Our 880+ questions are scenario-based and deliberately written to match the style, difficulty and nuance of the actual CBAP® exam. Each answer comes with a detailed explanation of why it's correct and why the alternatives are wrong — which builds the reasoning you need, not just memorised answers.

What are the office hours sessions and do I have to attend?

Office hours are live Zoom sessions with your coach where you can ask any question about BABOK® concepts, exam strategy or your preparation. You're required to attend a minimum of 2 sessions, but you can attend as many as you need. Sessions are recorded for those who can't attend live.

What is the 35 PD hours certificate and how does it work?

IIBA® requires proof of 35 hours of professional development within the last 4 years before you can sit the CBAP® exam. When you complete this course, you receive a verified 35 PD hours certificate from Skillverse — an IIBA® endorsed training provider. You submit this certificate with your IIBA® application to satisfy that requirement.

Does this course give me the CBAP® certification?

No — this is CBAP® Certification Training, not the certification itself. Completing this program earns you the 35 PD hours needed to apply and prepares you to pass the exam. The CBAP® certification is awarded by IIBA® after you pass their exam, which is registered and paid directly to IIBA® (approx. USD $595 for members). We guide you through the full application and booking process.

I'm not eligible for CBAP® yet — what should I do?

If you don't yet have the required hours, consider ECBA® (for those with less than 2 years experience) or CCBA® (intermediate level) as your next step. Alternatively, if you're still building your BA career foundation, our Job-Ready BA Program is designed to get you into your first BA role — so you can start accumulating the hours you'll need for CBAP® later.

Ready?

Your CBAP® Is Within Reach

You have the experience. You have the career. The credential is the final piece. At CAD $299 — paid back in under 2 hours at your new rate — there's no logical reason to wait.
