If you are a Business Analyst, Product Manager, Business Strategist, Business Consultant, Systems Analyst or any role that requires big picture thinking, strategy development and interpretation and process mapping, you can transition into Business Architecture as the skills are transferable.
Business Architects work as change agents with senior business stakeholders and play a key part in shaping and fostering continuous improvement, business transformation and business innovation initiatives.
To increase the success of corporate initiatives, Business Architects have gained in importance within their organization to properly align all senior stakeholders in executing the business vision. Business Architecture reveals how an organization is structured and can clearly demonstrate how elements such as capabilities, processes, strategy, objectives, organization and information all fit together*
When you become a Certified Business Architect (CBA®), your skills, experience and knowledge of business architecture are recognized and it also shows that you have demonstrated a high degree of competency in your chosen field that can pave the way for career advancement.
The programme is designed to help you prepare for the CBA® exam offered by the Business Architecture Guild. Taking this course furthers the advancement of the business architecture profession by formalizing the yardstick for professional competencies based on a defined framework and well-articulated set of practices.
For professionals who are currently in a Business Architect role who wish to elevate their career through an internationally recognized Business Architecture Guild certification
For experienced professionals who are looking into transitioning to a Business Architect role. Please email us on support@agorainsight.com to discuss if this course is right for you.

What our learners say
Here are all the components that are included in your programme.
Agora Insights Ltd, a Guild Accredited Training Partner™ (GATP™), helps ensure that the knowledge and skills being developed by the business architecture community are aligned with industry standards, leading to consistent practices. To achieve this, we develop our material based on A Guide to the Business Architecture Body of Knowledge® (BIZBOK® Guide).
We recommend that you become a member with the Business Architecture Guild®. From there you will have access to their own copy of the BIZBOK® Guide, prior to starting the course. This is OPTIONAL but will assist in meeting the learning objectives. You will still be provided with additional learning materials and links to study guides.
Learners will receive a Certificate of Achievement from Agora Insights Ltd on successful completion of the course. Learner hours per module will be sent to the Business Architecture Guild®, on request, for those who want to gain CEUs.
The course consists of 26 modules which are approximately 2.5 hours each. In total it should take the average student 65 hours to complete the video material. There are practice exam questions that can take 1- 2 hours per module, depending on your understanding.
The answer is both. The whole course is "on demand" and typically drip fed so that the learner can understand module by module. Additionally we offer optional live online mentoring sessions where learners can discuss the modules with the mentor. Typically the live sessions are scheduled, recorded and topic specific. Assignments are individually marked by your instructor.
We have broken the course into modules to explain specific areas of business architecture, in one sitting. Considering the field of business architecture can be substantial, we thought it best to break it up into bite size modules. This allows you to go back and focus on a particular area if required.
You will get an Agora Insights certificate but we cannot issue you a CBA® certification. Agora Insights Ltd is a Guild Accredited Training Partner (GAPT) and helps you prepare for the exam but does not offer the CBA® exam. Application, registration and taking the CBA® exam is offered by the Business Architecture Guild® which is a separate organisation. It is at the sole discretion of, and the responsibility of, the learner to apply and complete this process. Agora Insights Ltd takes no accountability for any process being operated and managed by the Business Architecture Guild® including the application, membership and CBA® exam outcomes.
We have several pricing options to suit your needs. This includes subscription payments, payment plans and once-off discounted plans. Please contact us if you have financial hardship, so that we can review your case.
You will have access for 1 year from when you purchase the course. This includes access to the library and practice tests.
If you need more access beyond 1 year, please email us at support@agorainsights.com - we review this request on a case-by-case basis.
30% discount + complimentary live training session
