IREB^® CPRE — Foundation Level

Learn how to apply requirements engineering tools and methods when developing systems.

When developing systems with the most advanced technologies, how can you be sure if you are developing the systems that your customers really want Join us for a training that teaches participants how to apply requirements engineering successfully in their own projects.

This training helps participants understand how to lay the foundation for a successful project by dealing with requirements systematically. We will cover techniques, methods and tools to elicit, document, validate and manage requirements efficiently.

After participants complete this training, they are eligible to take the exam to qualify as an IREB^® Certified Professional for Requirements Engineering — Foundation Level.

We recommend further preparation after each day of training to prepare for the exam.
