    Why Business Analysis Skills Are in Demand Across Australia

    Digital Transformation and Cloud Migration

    Australian banks, retailers and agencies are moving core systems to the cloud, and they need analysts who can translate business needs into clear requirements that delivery teams can build against.

    This training builds requirements and modelling skills

    Regulatory and Compliance Pressure

    Financial services firms face constant regulatory change under APRA and ASIC oversight, driving demand for analysts who can scope compliance projects and document requirements accurately.

    This training builds analysis and business-case skills

    Government Service Modernisation

    Federal and state agencies run large service-delivery and digital programmes that need business analysts to map processes, engage stakeholders and reduce the risk of costly project failure.

    This training builds process and stakeholder skills

    AI Adoption and the Skills Gap

    AI literacy is the fastest-growing skill in Australia, and analysts who pair AI tools with disciplined requirements and process work are commanding stronger pay and standing out to employers.

    This training builds structured analysis skills

    Business Analyst Talent Shortage

    ICT roles are among the fastest-growing occupations through the next decade, yet qualified analysts are scarce, so a BCS-quality-assured credential makes certified professionals easier to hire and trust.

    A recognised credential helps you stand out

    Requirements Gaps Driving Project Failure

    Poorly defined requirements remain a leading cause of overruns and rework, so employers value analysts trained in elicitation, documentation and validation to keep initiatives delivering real value.

    This training builds requirements-engineering skills

    Frequently Asked QuestionsHere's everything you may ask...

    It is a combined EXIN BCS credential covering the Foundation Certificate in Business Analysis and the Practitioner Certificate in Business Analysis Practice. Foundation validates knowledge of BA concepts and techniques, while Practitioner tests applying them in real scenarios. Both are developed with BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT.

    General

    What is the Business Analysis Foundation and Practitioner certification?

    It is a combined EXIN BCS credential covering the Foundation Certificate in Business Analysis and the Practitioner Certificate in Business Analysis Practice. Foundation validates knowledge of BA concepts and techniques, while Practitioner tests applying them in real scenarios. Both are developed with BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT.

    Is this business analysis certification worth it in Australia?

    Yes. Business analyst roles in Australia are projected to grow around 20% over five years, with average pay near A$120,000 and senior roles reaching well beyond. Banking, government, telco and consulting employers value recognised analysts, so two BCS-quality-assured credentials strengthen your standing and earning potential.

    Who is this course for?

    It suits aspiring business analysts, IT professionals moving into a BA role, project managers and product owners adding analysis skills, and practising analysts formalising their knowledge. The Foundation level has no formal prerequisites, so beginners can start with confidence.

    Which governing body awards these credentials?

    The credentials are awarded by EXIN in partnership with BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, the UK's chartered professional body for IT. Both are aligned to the BCS Business Analysis Body of Knowledge and recognised internationally, including across Australian employers.

    How long are the certifications valid?

    Both the Foundation and Practitioner certifications are for lifetime. Neither credential expires and there is no renewal, re-examination or continuing-education requirement once you have passed each exam.

    Pricing

    How much does the training cost in Australia?

    Fees vary by delivery format and schedule, and are quoted in Australian dollars. The price typically bundles the 32-hour training with courseware and exam preparation. For current pricing and any exam-voucher inclusions, the fee is available on request, so contact a learning advisor for a quote.

    What is included in the course fee?

    The fee usually includes EXIN BCS-aligned courseware, industry case studies, mock questions for both levels, and first-attempt guidance. Confirm whether the Foundation and Practitioner exam vouchers are bundled for your chosen batch when you request a quote.

    Do you offer corporate or group discounts?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for analysis and delivery teams across Australia. Ask about corporate or group pricing for a tailored quote.

    Is the exam fee included in the training price?

    EXIN exam pricing varies by region and purchasing channel, and the two exams are typically arranged through an accredited training provider. Whether the vouchers are included depends on the package, so confirm this when you request a quote.

    What payment options are available?

    We accept major credit and debit cards and bank transfers, with instalment options on selected plans. Speak with a learning advisor to choose the option that suits you.

    Exam

    How many exams are there and what is the format?

    There are two separate exams. The Foundation exam has 40 single-answer multiple-choice questions in 60 minutes, closed book. The Practitioner exam has 40 scenario-based multiple-choice questions in 60 minutes, closed book. You must pass both to hold both credentials.

    What is the passing score for each exam?

    The pass mark for both the Foundation and Practitioner exams is 65%, which is 26 correct answers out of 40. Both exams are aligned to the EXIN BCS Examination Specifications and the BCS Business Analysis Body of Knowledge.

    What do the exams cover?

    The Foundation exam covers 14 topic areas, from what business analysis is through investigation, requirements, modelling and the business case. The Practitioner exam covers seven applied topic areas and tests the application and analysis of BA techniques in realistic project scenarios.

    Do I need to pass Foundation before Practitioner?

    The Foundation Certificate is the recommended prerequisite for the Practitioner level. The combined programme is designed to be taken sequentially, with Foundation content first and Practitioner content second, and the two exams typically sat within the training schedule.

    Where can I take the exams, and can I retake them?

    Both exams are available online through EXIN's proctored exam system or at an EXIN accredited testing location. Retake and re-sit policies are set by EXIN, so verify the current re-sit terms with your training provider before booking.

    Course Content

    What will I learn in this course?

    You will learn investigation and requirements elicitation, requirements documentation and management, business process modelling with BPMN, stakeholder analysis, strategy analysis, solution definition and business-case development, covering both the Foundation and Practitioner syllabuses.

    Do I need prior experience to take this course?

    No. The Foundation level has no formal prerequisites and is suitable for beginners and those in adjacent roles. The training builds from core concepts to applied practice, so you can follow it whether you are new to business analysis or already practising.

    How long is the training programme?

    The combined Foundation and Practitioner training is a 32-hour programme. It is delivered over four full days, or across more days in shorter sessions, depending on the schedule format you choose.

    Are practice questions and case studies included?

    Yes. The programme includes EXIN BCS-aligned mock questions for both the Foundation and Practitioner formats, plus industry-driven case studies that mirror real project scenarios to help you apply techniques and prepare for both exams.

    Is the courseware aligned with the current syllabus?

    Yes. The courseware is aligned to the official EXIN BCS Foundation and Practitioner Examination Specifications and the BCS Business Analysis Body of Knowledge, so your preparation matches what the current exams assess.
