Prerequisites

• Knowledge of the concepts and issues discussed in the IREB CPRE entry level syllabus;
• At least 1 year of experience in software development projects in an analyst or similar role;
• For those taking the IREB Advanced Level exam, holding the IREB CPRE Foundation Level certification.

Who is this course for

This training is intended for:

• System and business analysts.
• Product owners and business owners.
• Software and system engineers.
• Individuals who hold the IREB CPRE Foundation Level certificate and are planning to further their careers in line with the IREB certification path.

Certificate and exam

At the advanced level, certification includes two stages: the Practitioner level and the Specialist level, which builds upon it. Each has its own exam, and a separate certificate is awarded for each.

As a CPRE AL certificate holder, you will:

• Know the specific terminology in the area covered by the advanced level module and the CPRE glossary.
• Master the specific techniques and methods within the requirements engineering field covered by the advanced level module.
• Possess a solid knowledge of requirements engineering covered by the given advanced level module and will have demonstrated this during a practical exam.
