Requirements Engineering - BCS Practitioner
Award Winning, Online, Self-Study
Thinking about a career in Business Analysis?

The BCS Practitioner Certificate in Requirements Engineering is for candidates who want to develop or further their skills in the understanding and application of elicitation, analysis and management of requirements.

As the traditional Business Analyst role develops and grows into other areas, the need for Requirements Engineering skills has opened up into the wider business and is now necessary in a variety of roles and teams. The learning in this certificate is shaped to place emphasis on valuable business analysis skills rather than the Business Analyst role. Focusing on these skills should ensure alignment with business objectives and a fit-for-purpose solution.

This qualification has been designed to provide valuable learning for those in roles such as business analyst, business architect, business systems analyst, data analyst, enterprise analyst, management consultant, process analyst, product manager, product owner, project manager, and systems analyst. This certificate provides value for candidates in entry-level, associate and management-level roles.

Upon achievement of the certificate, candidates will be able to demonstrate a practical understanding of:

• Collaborate with stakeholders to ensure requirements align with business objectives.
• Elicit different types of requirements and the associated documentation
• Analyse and validate requirements
• Ensure and manage requirement quality and change.

This is one of the four courses you need to pass the BCS International Diploma in Business Analysis.

You will be taught by our instructor, Soni, who has over 20 years of experience working as a Business Analyst in Defence, Banking, Cyber Security, Telecommunications, and IT.With self -study, you get a whole package of support we call PASS ASSIST, including digital access to the BCS book in Business Analysis, 2 live video support calls with your course trainer, practice exam papers and a series of support videos to get the most out of your course, making a learning plan and how to prepare for the exam.
