I need some advise with regards to the PMI-PBA Exam:

1- What is a good online course (Self-Paced) to get the 35 PDU's required for the application ?
2- What is the best source of simulation exams ?
3- What is the recommended study material ? Are the following PMI resources enough:
- PMI Guide for BA
- PMI Business Analysis for Practitioners
- PMI Requirements gathering guide

I do appreciate your advise and assistance - Thanks

You can find good self paced learning programs on Udemy
https://www.udemy.com/draft/1516004/
or Watermark
https://www.watermarklearning.com/certification/pmi-pba/
or Knowledge hut
https://www.knowledgehut.com/business-mana...training-online

The following PMI resources are more than enough:
- PMI Guide for BA
- PMI Business Analysis for Practitioners
- PMI Requirements gathering guide
But please have a break before you Nail one more Certification
Mudassar

Thanks - I do not know how to take breaks. I am a go-go guy but I know how to enjo my time meanwhile :-)

1- On Udemy, so far there are no courses. Only simulation exams which surprises me. Maybe I did miss something so if you know of a course on Udemy let me know.

2- Watermarks: It does not seem that they have an online course with 35 PDU's. Only the exam simulation questions as far as I noticed ?

Keep checking back with Udemy. They are always adding classes. I was looking for a COBIT 5 class about 3 month ago and all they had was the practice exams. And then about 2 weeks ago, I checked again and they had added the class.
Of course if they don't, maybe you can create a class after you get your certification.

Everyone, I do very much appreciate your concern about wanting me to take a break. I will and I am enjoying my time with professional development. I did not mention that I am planning to pursue this certification now. I am just exploring options for future professional development so I can have the road map ready when it is time to start.

Hi Rami

A week ago I passed the exam,first attempt. On all the resources that I purchased what I found very useful was the
The PMI Guide to Business Analysis & Business Analysis for Practitioners. These two books are a must. I also invested in the process exam simulator which was good for practicing and timing my self.

I recommend you thoroughly read the PMI Guide to Business Analysis.

Wish you all the best

Hi Brenda,

Congrats on passing the exam Brenda and Thanks for your feedback. Very useful - I understand from what you said that the PMI Books (Guide & BA for Practitioners) are more than enough.

Did you study the Requiremenrs Gathering Guide ?

Thanks,
