Fintech and Payments Growth

Dublin's IFSC and a fast-growing fintech base are scaling new products and platforms, creating strong demand for BAs fluent in process modelling and stakeholder management.

Business Analysis Foundation and Practitioner

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

The Business Analysis Foundation and Practitioner (BA F&P) certification is a two-level EXIN BCS credential. Foundation validates knowledge of business analysis concepts and techniques, while Practitioner validates your ability to apply BA tools in real project scenarios. Both are developed with BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT.

General

What is the Business Analysis Foundation and Practitioner certification?

Who should take this BA certification in Ireland?

It suits aspiring business analysts, IT professionals moving into BA roles, project staff, product owners and practising analysts formalising their skills. Across Ireland's tech, financial services and pharma sectors, it is a recognised route into requirements and business change roles.

Is the EXIN BCS Business Analysis certification worth it?

Yes. Certified business analysts are in demand across Ireland, with senior BA roles in Dublin averaging around €69,000 a year. The dual credential proves both knowledge and applied practice, helping you stand out and progress toward senior and lead roles.

Do I need any prior experience or prerequisites?

No. The Foundation level has no formal prerequisites and is open to all. Foundation is the recommended basis for the Practitioner level, and the combined programme covers both, so beginners can start with confidence.

How long are the certifications valid?

Both the Foundation and Practitioner certifications are lifetime credentials. Neither expires, and there is no renewal, re-examination or continuing education requirement once you pass.

Pricing

How much does the training cost in Ireland?

Course fees are available on request and vary by delivery format and schedule. Pricing is quoted in euro for learners in Ireland and includes courseware, practice materials and trainer-led sessions. Request a quote or speak to a learning advisor for current pricing.

What is included in the course fee?

The fee typically includes EXIN BCS-aligned courseware, case studies, Foundation and Practitioner mock exams, practice questions and instructor-led sessions, plus learner support. Confirm exam voucher inclusion when you enrol.

Exam

What is the format of the two BA exams?

Both exams are closed book and multiple choice. The Foundation exam uses single-answer questions testing knowledge and comprehension, while the Practitioner exam uses scenario-based questions that test how you apply BA techniques in realistic project situations.

How many questions are in each exam and how long are they?

Each exam has 40 questions and lasts 60 minutes. The Foundation exam spans 14 topic areas, and the Practitioner exam covers 7 applied topic areas through scenario-based questions.

What is the passing score?

The passing score is 65 percent for both exams, which is 26 correct answers out of 40. This applies to both the Foundation and the Practitioner exam.

How do the Foundation and Practitioner exams differ?

Foundation tests knowledge and comprehension of BA concepts using straightforward multiple-choice questions. Practitioner tests application and analysis, presenting realistic scenarios where you select the best use of a BA technique. Foundation is the recommended step before Practitioner.

Where can I take the exams?

You can sit both exams online through EXIN's online proctored exam system or at an EXIN accredited testing location. They are usually arranged through your accredited training provider as part of the combined programme.

What happens if I do not pass first time?

You can re-sit an EXIN exam if needed. Our trainers provide mock exams, practice questions and first-attempt guidance to help you prepare thoroughly. Confirm current re-sit fees and policy with EXIN or our team.

Course Content

What topics does the training cover?

The programme covers the full EXIN BCS syllabus: business analysis concepts, investigation techniques, requirements engineering, stakeholder management, business process and requirements modelling, strategy analysis, solution definition and business case development, then applies them at Practitioner level.

What is the difference between the Foundation and Practitioner content?

Foundation builds knowledge across 14 topic areas, from what business analysis is to delivering the business solution. Practitioner focuses on applying those techniques across 7 topic areas in realistic scenarios, such as strategic context, current-situation analysis and building the business case.

Are practice tests and mock exams included?

Yes. The programme includes Foundation and Practitioner mock exams, practice questions and topic-wise exercises to help you identify weak areas and build exam readiness.

Is the courseware aligned to the latest standard?

Yes. The courseware is aligned to the official EXIN BCS Foundation and Practitioner Examination Specifications and the BCS Business Analysis Body of Knowledge, quality-assured by BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT.

What materials and certificate will I receive?

You receive EXIN BCS-aligned courseware, case studies, practice materials and a course completion certificate. On passing each exam, you also receive the official EXIN digital certificate and badge for that level.
