In the area of market research, as well as project management, IIBA and PMI have become two of the best certifying institutes. Right now, their project management and business analyst certification are in tremendous demand in the practical sector and will allow professionals to significantly improve their careers. ECBA Certification and CCBA Certification are the certifications that are governed by the IIBA. Similarly, CAPM and PMP are the best of the certifications governed by PMI. The former are entry-level certifications, while in their respective fields, the latter are advanced certifications. Let us discuss the brief criteria for any of these certifications to be issued.
Who all can gain the IIBA Certifications?
- ECBA: Because ECBA is an entry-level qualification, it is also possible for candidates without work experience to apply for the same certification. However, only those who have completed 21 hours of professional development over the past 4 years will apply to take the ECBA Certification Test.
- CCBA: Being one of the most advanced IIBA certifications, along with obtaining 21 hours of professional development in the last 4 years, it is also mandatory to have at least 7 years of work experience for the CCBA certification test.
Who all can gain the PMI Certifications?
- CAPM: Much like ECBA, in the area of project management, CAPM is an entry-level qualification. Applicants who are eligible to receive the same must have served 1500 hours as a project manager or must complete 23 hours of official CAPM training.
- PMP: High school professionals eligible to receive PMP certification must achieve at least 5 years of work experience along with 7,500 hours of work. However, after just 3 years and 4500 hours of work, professionals with higher qualifications will apply for the same thing. In addition, they are also expected to complete a 35-hour PMP Exam Prep to become eligible for the exam.
