Which certificate works best for me?
The IIBA Multilevel Certification Program 35
The difference between a Certification and a Certificate
Level 2 – CCBA®, Level 3 – CBAP®and Level 4 – CBALT™ are considered professional certifications because they have each a unique work experience requirement to be eligible and the exam tests their application of the competencies required at each level. Those who achieve certification receive a certification license number.
Level 1 – ECBA™ is a certificate because it does not require work experience and it only requires professional development hours
