IREB® CPRE Advanced Level - Requirements Management

You enable yourself to develop and supervise the handling of requirements either for specific development projects or in general and thus in the long term exploit the full benefits of requirements engineering.

As a requirements manager, you know how to define and maintain role-based procedures with requirements in your work area and develop a requirements information model with all its features and traceability aspects.

Using variant management, you create the basis for the reuse of requirements in the company within the framework of product line development.

Through lecture and practical exercises, you have familiarized yourself in with the contents of the syllabus for the IREB "Certified Professional for Requirements Engineering - Advanced Level" in the module "Requirements Management" and you have prepared yourself for the certification examination.

A few days before the training, we will send you a voucher code with which you can register on the Certible site and choose a desired date for the online exam. Since according to IREB no study material may be used during the exam, the participants are observed by one of the Certible examiners via web cam. Participants will find out immediately after completing the exam whether they have passed.

For the Advanced Level, in addition to the exam a term paper has to be submitted.
