As the name suggests, the Entry Certificate
in Business Analysis (ECBA) is aimed for freshers that are just stepping into
the field of business analysis. Gaining this ECBA certification would no doubt give you access to better job
prospects as well as a hefty salary. You also get the chance to build up
connections which, would prove to be immensely helpful for your career in the
future.
The preparation for ECBA certification
varies from that of PMP Exam prep. Here are some of the ways that you
can prepare yourself for obtaining this certification:
BABOK
Guide
While preparing for this certification,
make sure to read the BABOK Guide minutely. The topics for the exam are compact
and small. But, you would have to deeply go through the whole BABOK (Business
Analysis Body of Knowledge) guide to know every aspect of the subject. You need
to have explicit knowledge of the areas mentioned in the BABOK Guide.
Join the training which is specially approved by IIBA
It is far better to join a training center
than to try doing it on your own. Try enrolling in one that is recognized by
the Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA). This will help you immensely in preparing
for the ECBA certification exam.
Clear
the basics
Before sitting for the ECBA exam, you must
clear out the basics of business analysis. If you are new to this field, clear
your concept as much as you can. Leave nothing to confusion and build your
basics strongly. You also need to be aware of the various phases related to
software development. This is also necessary for the ECBA certification.
Practice
lots of mock tests
To achieve success at any examination, mock
tests are a must. The ECBA certification exam is no exception. The next phase
after thoroughly reading the BABOK Guide is to practice as many mock tests as
possible. This will give you an idea as to how the question pattern will be.
These are some of the points that you can
keep in mind while preparing for ECBA certification. Obtaining this
certification will prove to be extremely fruitful for you.
