Additional requirements for CCBA® and CBAP® applicants

Two references from a career manager, client, or CBAP® recipient.

As part of your application, you must provide two professional references. One of those references must be a current contact you have, meaning that you are in contact with this person on a regular basis. These references can be from a career manager (line manager), a client, or a Certified Business Analysis Professional recipient. You must have known your references for a period of at least 6 months. Your references will receive an email with a link to a reference check form, where they will be asked to answer a few questions about the work you have been performing for them. These questions are high-level and reasonably general, so they don't need to know the low-level details of your day-to-day tasks.

Make sure that both of your references know that they will receive this email request and make sure that they know you are dependent on their completion of this online form for your CCBA® or CBAP® application will be approved.

Signed Code of Conduct

You will be asked to complete and sign a code of conduct form in order to apply to take the CBAP® or CCBA® exam. This form contains your agreement to act ethically, professionally, and responsibly in your business analysis work.
