Important Note: The Contact
Hours Requirement Has Been Modified
The education and/or training contact hours required for the pilot has
been modified to 25 hours. After the pilot, the requirement will be 35
hours, as originally communicated. This will enable applicants to
utilize more of the existing education and/or training courses in
business analysis while allowing training providers more time to build
and enhance their courses to fulfill the 35 hour requirement. All
applications submitted after 4 August 2014 must fulfill the 35 hour
requirement.
What content counts as business analysis education
and/or training?
The contact hours must be specific to business analysis topics.
Examples of topics could include: requirements management,
traceability, elicitation, data modeling, and business analysis
planning. All contact hours should align with domains, tasks, and
skills detailed in the PMI-PBA Exam Content Outline.
If a project management course was taken, only those hours that
specifically covered areas related to business analysis can be
attributed.
How can these contact hours be obtained?
They can be achieved through completing courses offered from an
employer, training company, college or university, PMI Registered
Education Provider, or distance learning company, to name a few. You
will need to demonstrate an end-of-course assessment or tutorial and/or
a certificate of completion from the course provider. Webinars will not
count towards the contact hours.
Is there a timeframe for these hours?
Applicants can record any education and/or training in business
analysis topics, regardless of when it was accrued. However, all
contact hours must be completed by the time you submit your
application.
