ECBA is an entry-level exam (50 questions/1.5 hours), with no work experience requirement, suitable for career changers or students; CCBA is for practitioners with 1-3 years of experience (130 questions/3 hours), and requires submission of project experience proof. For those with no basic knowledge, it is recommended to choose ECBA first, as it has a higher pass rate and a shorter preparation period (average 3 weeks).

ECBA/CCBA/CBAP certificates must be renewed every three years. The renewal conditions are: paying the annual fee + completing 60 credits of continuing education (such as attending IIBA official seminars, publishing industry papers, etc.). Those who fail to renew their certificates will lose their certification qualifications.

Yes! IIBA provides 25% extra test time (e.g. CBAP is extended from 3.5 hours to 4.4 hours) for non-native English speakers. Proof of language proficiency (e.g. TOEFL/IELTS score report) is required upon registration.

Prioritize IIBA-authorized educational institutions (such as Wisma Education and IWL Training). Their courses include 35 hours of official certification training credits, cover the core test points of the BABOK guide, and provide a real question bank and mock test system, which can increase the first-time pass rate by 40%.
