Adding the certification to your profile demonstrates that you follow industry best practices and standards. It lends you instant credibility among employers, colleagues, and stakeholders, validating your expertise and making you a trustworthy contributor to any project.
It’s more than just a professional certification, though. The CBAP® designation reflects years of hard-won experience, hard work that went into preparing for the CBAP® exam and the wealth of business analysis knowledge that would make a positive impact within an organization.
Certified professionals often command higher salaries than their non-certified counterparts, and the profession’s leaders are no exception. The CBAP® designation demonstrates a high level of proficiency in business analysis and a commitment to professional development. As a result, organizations are more likely to offer competitive compensation packages to those who have it.
According to Fortune Recommends, “Experts say that earning relevant certifications can boost your salary by as much as 20%.” Our own Global Research finds that “business analysis professionals who hold a CBAP® earn 25% more than non-certified professionals,” or a salary of $92,930 on average. Also, Business Analysis is one of the fastest-growing careers worldwide and as per the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, CBAP® certified professionals have an all-time high growth rate of 24% in comparison to the 5% average growth rate of any profession.
Clearing CBAP® exam is not easy and not meant for everyone and anyone. So, if you have CBAP® certification you are in an elite club and hence will be way above other working professionals. This also means that you will face less competition from your peers, looking for similar jobs. Moreover, many companies have made it a mandatory requirement to select only CBAP® certification holders. Isn’t that a great news?
The CBAP® certification is your pathway to wide range of career opportunities that you won’t otherwise have access to. First, having CBAP® certification means you will always be in radar of hiring managers, recruiters, and human resource personnel, whenever a suitable position opens up. Second, CBAP® certification holders don’t need to be pre-screened since the certification says it all. CBAP® certification holders always have a high chance of getting shortlisted and interview calls. Third, in today’s competitive environment, many organizations have made CBAP® compulsory for senior business analyst roles. According to research by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, professionals with a certification or license faced significantly lower unemployment rates than those without either in 2023 (1.8% vs. 4.2%).
Once you earn CBAP® certification, people trust your skills, expertise, and knowledge. This also carves a path to become a guide, coach, and mentor to other fellow team members, looking for guidance, tips and ways to improve their work. It’s always enriching to give back to the community and make a positive impact in your profession.
