Frequently Asked Questions

Will ANZ employers recognise the CBBA?

Yes. The CBBA is built on practical, real-world BA skills — the same approach used for hands-on BA training delivered at organisations including NZTE, Z Energy, and NZ Government agencies. It’s verifiable online via the BBAI certification registry.

What happens after 12 months — do I lose access?

Your access to course materials is for 12 months (365 days) from enrolment — plenty of time even for the busiest professionals. Your CBBA certificate and the BA Toolkit are yours permanently once earned.

Is the CBBA the same as CBAP?

No — they’re different certifications for different career stages. CBAP (IIBA) requires 7,500 hours of documented BA experience and costs $950+ USD to sit. CBBA has no experience prerequisite and is designed for practitioners building their foundation. Many CBBA graduates go on to pursue CBAP later in their career.

What level of experience do I need?

None required. The CBBA is designed for career changers, graduates, and junior BAs. If you have some project or business experience (in any role) you’ll have real-world context to apply what you learn.

Is there a payment plan?

Yes — pay in 4 interest-free instalments with Afterpay at checkout (approx. 4 × $97 NZD). Or pay the full $349 NZD + GST in one payment. No hidden fees either way.

What’s in the BA Toolkit?

The BA Toolkit includes: requirements elicitation templates, stakeholder register, RAID log, process mapping templates, business case template, user story format guide, and the BBAI Framework reference card. Everything you’d use on a real project from day one.
