Lately, I've been researching a couple of Business Analysis certifications. It's very interesting to see the differences in them. Clearly, the IIBA certification process is comprehensive, but in hard economic times, it's tough for a contractor to fund all the classes involved. I did find "Inquestra", which has a certificate requiring only 16 PDUs, while IIBA requires 21 PDUs. So, I could go for the BSAC, and also apply those hours to the CCBA with IIBA. Sounds like a good plan, but I think I'll keep researching. I'm open to ideas, if you've got 'em.
