The exam is supervised by a GASQ examiner. The certification exam takes place at the end of the training session: for classroom-based sessions, it is taken on paper or on a digital tablet; for virtual classroom sessions, the exam is taken online.
Foundation-level exam questions, on different levels of the IQBBA 3.0 syllabus (K1, K2, and K3)
Teaching methods
In accordance with the official IQBBA program, hands-on work is done during the training. A permanent system for reviewing the exam as progress goes forward is put in place.

As I’m already a BA, the course has helped me to better define the various roles and stages a BA might encounter within a project. The content is interesting and explores a wide range of areas.

The content was very comprehensive, but I find that the course materials aren’t presented in chronological order. It’s easy to get lost in them.

On Day 3, we get through Part 4 quite quickly compared to the previous days; you can easily feel lost if you try to take notes during the lesson. The exercises and questions in the mock exams are really useful.

It all went well. Three days is actually quite short, as there’s quite a lot of content, so it’s a bit intense (you’re absolutely knackered after three days) ;)

Additional questions and mock exams (multiple-choice) are very important for practising. I needed a more structured summary of the key points to revise (it was a bit too ‘all over the place’ for me).

This training course was very rewarding and perfectly tailored to my expectations. The content was clear, well-structured and practical. The trainer was very engaging, a good teacher and a good listener. His explanations were easy to follow and illustrated with relevant examples, which made it easier to understand the material and engage in discussions throughout the course.I am very satisfied with this session and would recommend it. My only regret is that certification is not awarded at the en

A really fascinating training course; the trainer was very experienced and provided plenty of context, which made it easier to understand the subject matter and the concepts. He interacted with us a great deal, which made the training very engaging and not at all time-consuming. As the certification exam is taking place at a later date, this leaves a little more time to explore the concepts covered in greater depth and fully understand them.

I didn’t realise the course would be so focused on passing the certification exam. If the aim is to pass the certification, then the course is very well suited to that.However, I was mainly looking to gain a deeper understanding of business analysis (which isn’t my day job) to complement my day-to-day work, where I may be required to carry out certain tasks typically performed by a business analyst. I would therefore have liked a bit more practical experience.

I didn't enjoy the PWP, which was far too full for me. As a result, it was impossible for me to follow the trainer and the PWP at the same time. But I would like to stress that the trainer listened carefully and made improvements in response to our comments.

Very good training I would have preferred to have had face-to-face training with a paper course support, and in my case as a novice, if there had been time for a few more practical exercises.

I found the course very theoretical and not practical enough. It's very effective for passing the exam, because it's like cramming. But when it came to knowing exactly which methods to use in which contexts, we didn't have enough time to go into detail. Some of the exercises were very good, such as creating a BPMN. Many more are needed to really assimilate all the concepts. The powerpoint is dense and the course con

Top-notch trainer, competent, patient and kind. But far too many concepts close together for the training time. It should be spread out to allow the trainees to digest and revise as necessary. Not enough case studies and not enough variety.

A lot of concepts to acquire in a very short time. The course would benefit from being a little longer for the same content.
ETIENNE C.

3 / 5
I have a very big problem with the support, which is dragging down my overall assessment. The current format is designed for reading (which is still too dense and the slides don't flow very well) and not for presenting. There's far too much to read on the slides and it's difficult to read and listen to the speaker at the same time. The brain is lost and this detracts from the speaker's message. The right format: One slide = one sentence/idea/concept.

Total absence of exercises and practical cases, 7-hour days of intensive theory interrupted by a 15-minute break in the morning and afternoon, and a 45-minute lunch break. Teaching material divided into multiple independent, redundant parts, in electronic format or on loose-leaf paper (400 pages!), central summary of concepts in electronic one pager format and separate 70-page syllabus to print out yourself.

The overall curriculum structure is straightforward. The curriculum is available in English. A lot of material and tools were provided in French. The instructor has a lot of knowledge and skills. He's a great person, but he also loops around a lot. Of, misschien waren wij niet het juiste publiek voor deze cursus; kan ook

The trainer illustrated the concepts with practical examples, which made it much easier to understand the subjects covered. However, given the interconnection between the different themes, a summary in the form of a mind map, with the key points, would have been useful to better structure the knowledge with a view to preparing for certification.

Very interesting training, which highlights the role of the business analyst, his tools, his different roles and his interactions with stakeholders. However, there are a few limitations: - a little too business-analyst-oriented rather than IT-oriented - a little too V-cycle-oriented
