SoftServe University to Certify Business Analysis Professionals

Lviv, Ukraine  /  May 14, 2009

Starting on May 22, 2009, the Certification Center at SoftServe University of SoftServe Inc., the global provider of software development and consulting services, will administer the Certified Business Analysis Professional™ examinations.

SoftServe Inc., the global provider of software development and consulting services, is pleased to announce that the Certification Center at SoftServe University - partnered with Prometric and Pearson VUE - recently joined the CASTLE WorldWide training and testing system.

CASTLE WorldWide is the only testing provider that delivers the certification exam for the International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA). The IIBA, itself, created the Certified Business Analysis Professional™ (CBAP®) - which is a designation that is awarded to candidates who have successfully demonstrated expertise in this field. This expertise is determined by the passing the IIBA® CBAP® examinations - and by evaluating the hands-on business analysis work experience that participants complete during =the CBAP® application process.

On May 22, 2009, the first CBAP® exams will take place at the SoftServe Certification Center - the only testing center in Ukraine entitled to provide such examinations.

"We are happy that SoftServe University is now enabled to provide CBAP® certification - which is increasingly seen as a prerequisite for professional qualification in the field," says Renata Chuchmai, SoftServe's Vice President of HR. "More and more employers recognize the CBAP® designation for business analysts in the same light as, for example, the PMP® certification for Project Managers."

Professionals that work in the business analysis, systems analysis, requirements analysis or management, project management, consulting or process improvement fields - and also have an advanced knowledge and experience level - may want to consider the many professional benefits of earning the CBAP® designation. More information on the Certified Business Analysis Professional credential can be found on the official IIBA web site.
