What's Being Updated? 

We're transitioning the ECBA from a focus on theory (knowledge areas) to a focus on practical application, leveraging the thinking model of The Business Analysis Core Concept Model (BACCM). The new exam content draws from The Business Analysis Standard, A Guide to the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge (BABOK Guide), and practical, contextual situations regularly encountered by business analysis professionals. The exam will have a duration of 75 minutes.

What's Staying the Same?

The ECBA remains globally recognized for demonstrating foundational knowledge of business analysis principles and practices The knowledge areas and business analysis tasks from the existing exam are still represented on the new ECBA, but they're organized and expressed through the exam’s new content domains to address practical application of the BACCM. The exam still contains 50 questions and there are no prerequisites.
