PMI encourages you to use the online certification system to apply for all certifications.
Before you begin, check to make sure you meet the certification eligibility requirements and can record the necessary information on the application.
Once you start an online application, you cannot cancel it. You can save it unfinished, come back to it later and edit any information you already entered. The application will remain open for 90 days, during which time PMI will send you an email reminder to complete the application.
Before you submit the application, you will be required to read and agree to the PMI Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct and the Certification Application/Renewal Agreement.
How to Record Your Experience & Education
Use the Business Analysis Experience Worksheet in the application to record your experience. The experience does not necessarily have to be paid work, but it does need to be in a professional setting. Activities such as school projects or planning personal events would not qualify.
Record at least 35 contact hours of training on business analysis practices. Business Analysis training can include topics covering business analysis methodologies, principles and practices. You can record all education regardless of when it was accrued. The course work must be completed at the time you submit your application.
If you don’t have a certificate for 35 contact hours earned in the topic of business analysis practices, you can generate one on KnowledgeMap:
