Business Analysis Training Courses for Business Analysts leading to the ISEB Certificate and Diploma

ISEB Oral Exam Preparation

The ISEB Business Analysis Diploma is awarded following the successful completion of 3 core modules, one specialist module and an Oral Examination.

The three core modules are :

Business Analysis Essentials

Requirements Engineering

Organizational Context

We currently have specialist modules in :

Systems Development Essentials

Modelling Business Processes (from February 2010)

Once candidates have obtained the appropriate number of modules for a Diploma, they will be eligible to sit an oral examination. There is a waiting time of approximately two months between application for and actually sitting the oral. The oral will test the communication abilities of the candidate, their ability to apply knowledge to their own, or simulated, work environment.

The oral will last for 45 minutes to an hour and will involve two examiners. It is recommended by the BCS that candidates take the oral examination within six months of completing the set of written examinations but we recommend that students should apply as soon as they have passed their fourth exam. Moreover, the candidate must apply for the oral no more than twelve months after the result notification date of the final examination. Candidates who do not take the oral examination within twelve months will not be able to attend the oral examination.  To do so they will have to successfully take at least one more module.

The oral practice day is to give candidates the chance to get used to answering questions that are designed to show their practical understanding of the theory that they have learnt during the training courses. Candidates are not expected to show their thorough knowledge of every facet of the courses.

Before taking the test candidates complete a form that shows there history of working in Business Analysis. We will help you complete the form. This form is partially used as a basis for the questions candidates will be asked by the examiners.

We will also go through the marking schema with you so that you have a clearer idea of what to expect in the oral.

These three processes should highlight any weaknesses that candidates have in time to do something about them before the exam.
