IIBA UK Chapter

The first UK based CBAP examination will be held on Friday 13th June in St Albans. At this point in time we're unsure whether new applicants will be able to apply to sit the exam on this date, however we are told that additonal sittings later in the year are likely (dates TBD).

To apply to sit the CBAP exam please visit the International IIBA Certification website.

This year we had a total of 7 seats on the IIBA UK Chapter Board up for election - during our Nominations period (3rd March - 30th March 2008) we received a total of 7 nominated candidates. Rather than hold an election where the outcome was already pre-determined it was decided by the Elections Committee to simply offer each of these candidates a place on the Chapter Board - they all decided to accept. To find out more information about the Election Results and to view profiles and pictures of the new IIBA UK Chapter Board please see the Chapter Board page on our website.

We finally have full details of our AGM and Election Process available online:

Between Monday 26th and Wednesday 28th November a Project Management & Business Analysis conference is being run in Barcelona. A member of the IIBA UK Chapter “Malcolm Eva” will be attending this event to provide a presentation about the IIBA UK Chapter and the IIBA Body of Knowledge v2.0. As a special offer the Project World team are offering IIBA members a 20% discount on the cost of attending the conference please contact the IIBA UK Chapter via our Contact Us form before registering to be eligible for the discount. Please see the Project World Euripe Website for details on how to register.

The 2007 Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the IIBA UK Chapter is going to be held in London on Wednesday 29th August 2007 - please see the 2007 AGM page for further details on the AGM agenda and details on how to register. This event is restricted to IIBA UK Chapter members only.

Over the last few months we've managed to successfully organise a number of events in London, maintain a basic website and start the slow process of building the foundations of our Chapter. However there are 2 things that we need in order to keep the momentum going:

1. Venues to hold events
2. Volunteers to take on projects

If you can help in any way then please visit our new Volunteers page.

Somedays it seems that all the we do is tweak the Chapter website... however this time the change is a useful one. In order to reflect the fact that we are a UK organisation as opposed to a London one; we've migrated across to a new url http://uk.theiiba.org and got rid of that dreary grey background colour.

We've been informed by the company organising the London Business Analysis Symposium that they are planning to postpone the event until later in the Autumn. Unfortunately for all you folks busy learning the BA BOK this also means that the first UK CBAP exam sittings are going to be postponed too.

On Wednesday 28th February 2007 the second IIBA UK Chapter event was held in the Ruebens hotel in London with presentations provided by Debbie Paul, Mark Parris & Dick Parris.

In terms of Event attendence we had:
- 89 people registered for the event
- 80 people expected to appear on the night
- 62 people arriving at the event (78% vs expected / 70% vs registered)

If you couldn't make it along then you can see copies of the presentations & photos of the event in the Past Events section on the All Chapter Events page.

Later this year (13th June 2007) the IIBA sponsored Business Analysis Symposium is coming to London; at this event UK candidates will have the opportunity to sit the IIBA CBAP qualification. For full details on how to become a CBAP candidate please see the main IIBA International website.
