Roads in Paris. Version 1.0, in draft form, of the candidate handbook was released in November 2005 and contains the following requirements. Many of these are still being discussed and may change. Bullet 2 – PLUS experience in 3 out of 5 underlying fundamentals Bullet 3 – Currently, there is no reduction in work experience for post secondary education Bullet 4 – Required – must be from career manager, client or a CBAP Bullet 5 – required 21 hours in the last four years directly related to business analysis or the underlying fundamentals. CDUs will be able to be collected for conferences. 1) BA World, etc., does not fall under the "EEP" category. There is a separate category for conferences, etc. 2) Eventually (hopefully by the end of the year), conference providers (as well as other organizations such as IIBA Chapters) will be able to register their events with us, and receive a CDU code and allocated CDU value. They will then be able to advertise the number of CDUs that participants will receive.
What’s in it for me – at the local level? Networking is perhaps the most valuable benefit. By networking with other BAs you will learn what other people are doing, how they are overcoming challenges and even potential solutions to your challenges – there is comfort in numbers.
