Your business analysis expertise deserves professional certification.

Passing the BCS Oral Examination is the final step towards gaining your BCS International Diploma in Business Analysis.

The 50-minute exam will see you being interviewed by two BCS oral examiners as they evaluate whether you can put all of the techniques you’ve learned from your certificate modules into an overall context and prove that you’ve gained the analytical and interpersonal skills needed to be awarded the diploma.

And this Business Analysis Diploma Oral preparation workshop is designed to help you do exactly that.

You’ll have the opportunity to review the core and specialist modules you’ve taken and prepare for what the examiners might ask you by practising some sample oral questions.
