      BCS Certificate in Requirements Engineering (RE)

      The BCS Certificate in Requirements Engineering provides delegates with the knowledge and tool-set to elicit and manage project requirements. The course gives students a firm understanding of what a requirement is and how to turn a business problem into a reliable set of validated requirements. Poor requirements are the most prevalent reason software projects tend to fail. The course is administered by professional trainers with significant experience of practical requirements building and business analysis projects. Students are supplied with course notes containing detailed information about business analysis techniques and providing references for further reading.

      This syllabus has an accompanying examination.

      • 1 hour exam open book exam
      • case study based questions
