- Use context analysis

- Development of user requirements

### Exam Format

You obtain the CPUX-UR certificate by passing a theoretical and a practical certification test. The theoretical test is proctored and consists of a number of essay questions. It lasts 90 minutes. The practical test consists of observing a contextual interview, documenting it in the form of an as-is scenario and deriving the user requirements based on the as-is scenario. You can prepare for the certification test by participating in a [training course ⤴](https://www.uxqb.org/ux-training-and-certification/all-upcoming-training-courses/) or by self-study.
