Target audience

The Advanced Level addresses the holders of the CPRE Foundation Level certificate, who want to deepen their knowledge of particular Requirements Engineering and Business Analysis activities. The FL certificate is a prerequisite for an AL certificate.

Skills acquired through a CPRE AL certificate

The holder of a CPRE AL certificate

  • is familiar with the specific terminology within the field covered by the Advanced Level module and the CPRE Glossary,

  • has mastered the specific techniques and methods of the partial discipline of Requirements Engineering covered by the Advanced Level module,

  • possesses sound knowledge within the partial discipline of Requirements Engineering covered by the Advanced Level module and has proven that in a practical examination.

Procedure of the CPRE Advanced Level Requirements Modeling Practitioner exam

Similar to CPRE Foundation Level, the Requirements Modeling CPRE Advanced Level Practitioner exam is a multiple-choice proctored test that can be taken online or in person.

To take any CPRE-AL Practitioner exam candidates must hold the CPRE Foundation Level certificate or the certificate Requirements Engineering from the British Computer Society (BCS).

The CPRE Advanced Level Modeling Practitioner exam is comprised of approximately 20 questions. Candidates have up to 75 minutes to complete the test and need 70% of the total available points to pass. Upon request, for example for non-native speakers of the exam language, the total time can be extended to 90 minutes.

Self-study: Preparing for the CPRE Advanced Level Requirements Modeling Practitioner exam

The most important resource for candidates looking to prepare for a CPRE Advanced Level certification is the syllabus of the corresponding module.

The IREB CPRE Glossary (applicable to all levels) provides an overview of terms used throughout the syllabus, examination and literature.

Further helpful artefacts provided by IREB are the handbooks for the CPRE Advanced Levels. These are valuable resources for trainers, trainees, and practitioners alike, who are interested in getting a detailed insight to the specific Advanced Level. Although each handbook offers substantive information, it is not a replacement for a dedicated training course.

Finally, IREB kindly provides a practice exam for each Advanced Level in the same form, structure, and style of the actual examination, including solutions and correction aids to further advance your preparation.
