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. CBBA is designed as a foundation you can build on — once you’ve logged the required experience hours, it sets you up well to pursue CBAP later in your 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.
