Although IIBA® allows one to take the CCBA exam without any classroom training, it will be really hard to understand BABoK v3.0 without the help of an expert instructor. BABoK V3 is 500+ pages long and quite complex to follow. An expert instructor can help you to understand BABoK v3.0 very quickly. In addition, instructor led sessions give good insight on how to prepare for the exam, clarify doubts and provide practical tips and tricks based on exam experience.

CCBA self-study is not recommended for the following reasons:

• You need 21 PDUs for the IIBA application process and PD hours are obtained from live training.

• Time management remains a big challenge till date and the exam prep tricks and tips from our coaches helps our participants to sail through this challenge.
