CBAP® Course Reviews
Janelle W
The Watermark CBAP preparation class was a fantastic experience. Not only did the class cover the material needed to pass the exam, but it shared practical tips on how to prepare for the exam and get through the stress of exam day. It mapped out a timeline for that preparation that is reasonable and attainable. The instructor truly cares about her students and is willing to remain a resource even after the class ends. I recommend this to anyone wanting to become certified in the Business Analyst practice.
Shweta Silakari
After I read the BABOK, I enrolled in Watermark's Anytime Learning CBAP Preparation Course. I opted for this option because I can take the course any time as per my convenience. The mnemonics Watermark Learning provided helped me a lot, and I did all the practice exams provided in the Study Guide. The online exam simulator is very good in providing you feedback on what areas you need to work on. Thank you, Watermark Learning, for providing such amazing course material which helped me prepare for the exam. Reading BABOK alone is not enough.
JoAnn Miller
I passed my CBAP exam! I am so thankful for the materials that Watermark provided in this exam prep course. I know without the mnemonics and practice exam, that I would not have passed. This course helped me on what I really need to do to pass. It also provided me with tips and tricks on how to read the questions and what to look for in the questions. I would recommend your course to anyone who is taking the CBAP. JoAnn Miller, CBAP, Federated Insurance Companies.
Sarah Poynter
I sat for the CBAP certification exam and passed!! I attended Watermark's CBAP prep course a couple months before with a wonderful facilitator. I firmly believe my passing the exam was contributed to both that class and all of the study materials I acquired through Watermark. It would not have happened if I had only read the BABOK on my own...Watermark seems to go above and beyond when it comes to supporting their clients. Both the support and the study materials available helped tie everything together and make sense. Best of luck in the future!
Ericka Fisher
I passed the CBAP exam! The sheet from class with all of the mnemonics is very helpful for on-the-go studying. Also, the Watermark exam simulations and drills are the best at helping you prepare for the exam. I found nothing else that compared!
Renelle Sutton
I took a virtual course, and it was my first time taking a class in this format. I had some reservations about whether it would be effective. However, it was surprisingly more engaging than expected. I found the test strategies and online exam simulator very helpful. I took and passed the exam in July.
Eric White
Passed the CBAP exam at first attempt. Couldn't have done it without Watermark instruction and material.
Marcie Bonilla
I'm so glad I took this class before taking the CBAP exam. The instructor was great, as well as all the materials that were provided. The tips and tricks were really helpful, especially information about which areas to emphasize while studying. The exam simulation was probably the most helpful piece of the course. Along with the classroom learning, the exam simulation really helped to point out where I needed to study more, but also how to read/consider the test questions. I passed on my first try, and highly recommend this class!
Benjamin DeBoer
This class is a 5 out of 5 - and I RARELY give out 5 ratings! Course materials were fantastic! They were more helpful/useful than I would have imagined. I appreciate the breakdown and understandability. The instructor was also one of the best I have ever encountered. I believe that he wants every student to obtain their CBAP and will do whatever he can. He is perfect for keeping students engaged with complex/dry material.
Renee Gilmer
Thank you for Watermark's virtual CBAP prep class! I had never taken a virtual course before but I found that the class fit really well with my work and home schedule. The instructor was very patient and was truly interested in the success of the participants. I know that this class and the online practice questions were instrumental in my passing the exam. I recommend this course to anyone interested in CBAP certification!
Denise Swensen
I completed the CBAP Certification Preparation on-line course and within 3 months, I sat for my CBAP and passed!
Katherine Grantham
I liked the exposure to the experiences and expertise of other business analysts. The exercises were interesting and effective.
Pauline Downey
Excellent materials! The study guide and the exams are very helpful. Personally, I like the exams - that suits my learning style.
Trevor Cook
The CBAP Certification Prep class familiarized me with the BABOK and helped identify areas to focus on when studying.
