IREB® Foundation Level Certification (CPRE-FL)

Yes. We offer licensed and internationally valid IREB CPRE-FL certifications.

No entry requirements for participation in the IREB Foundation Level Seminar exist. No prior knowledge is required either.

The certification exam can be taken in 13 languages. These are the languages: Chinese, English, Dutch, Italian, Swedish, Spanish, French, German, Persian, Korean, Portuguese (Brazil), Polish and Russian. The details of the examination are regulated in the examination regulations for the CPRE Foundation Level.

No, the certification is permanent.

The content of the CPRE certificates is based on the fundamental approaches and methods of requirements engineering, which are slowly changing. The process is that the contents of the CPRE training are applied practically during everyday work; therefore, no regular refresher is necessary. There is no need to complete a new seminar and/or re-certification after a specific period. In addition, the philosophy of the IREB is that there should be no recurring costs for the participants of a CPRE certification.

No, no further seminar is necessary to repeat the exam. It is possible to repeat the exam up to two times without waiting. If the third attempt also fails, you must wait one year after this test before you can try again.

To successfully implement the principles of the International Requirements Engineering Board (IREB) in practice, you can take the following steps:

• Understand the principles: Familiarize yourself with the IREB principles and the IREB framework for requirements engineering.
• Review your processes: Review your current requirements engineering processes for alignment with the IREB principles.
• Training and education: Train and educate your employees and project stakeholders in the IREB principles and methods.
• Integrate IREB into your processes: Integrate the IREB principles and methods into your current requirements engineering processes.
• Monitor and evaluate your processes: Regularly monitor and evaluate your processes to ensure that the IREB principles are successfully implemented.

IREB (International Requirements Engineering Board) helps to ensure the quality of software products by promoting best practices in requirements engineering (RE). Requirements engineering is an important part of the software engineering process, which deals with capturing, analyzing, specifying, verifying, and managing the requirements of a software system.

By promoting and disseminating knowledge and best practices in requirements engineering, IREB helps to ensure that requirements for software systems are captured and processed correctly. This helps to detect and fix errors and deficiencies in the software system early on, thereby improving the quality of the final product.

IREB Foundation helps companies achieve their goals by providing a framework that supports a systematic and standardized approach to requirements gathering and management. This minimizes risks, optimizes project time and costs, and guarantees stakeholder satisfaction. With IREB Foundation, companies can ensure that all requirements are accurately captured, clearly documented, and aligned with all parties involved before implementation begins. This leads to improved verifiability and traceability of requirements and prevents errors or misunderstandings from arising later in the project.

IREB is used for Requirements Engineering, offering a comprehensive framework that is internationally recognized and improves collaboration among project stakeholders.

The IREB Foundation Level training aims to familiarize you with the concepts and processes of requirements engineering and to prepare you for the IREB Foundation Level exam.

In the IREB Foundation Level Training, you will learn the basics of Requirements Engineering and how to effectively and efficiently gather, manage, and communicate requirements for software projects.

The key principles of IREB Foundation Level are:

• Transparency: Clarity and understandability in capturing and documenting requirements to avoid misunderstandings.
• Alignment: Involvement of all relevant stakeholders in the process to ensure that all requirements are correctly captured.
• Traceability: Traceability of requirements throughout the project to track changes and dependencies.
• Validation: Verification of requirements for plausibility and completeness to minimize risks.
• Efficiency: Optimization of project time and costs through efficient requirement gathering and management.

The IREB (International Requirements Engineering Board) Foundation provides the following benefits:

• Standardized methods: IREB Foundation defines internationally recognized standards and methods for requirements engineering.
• Professionalization: The certifications and training help requirements engineering professionals improve their skills and position themselves as experts in the field.
• Improved processes: The methods and best practices recommended by IREB Foundation help organizations optimize and improve their requirements engineering processes.

The IREB Foundation Level certification is an official recognition that you have mastered the concepts and processes of Requirements Engineering and are able to effectively collect, manage, and communicate requirements for software projects.

For the IREB Foundation level, there is an official companion book, "Basic Knowledge Requirements Engineering," that deals with the content in a very structured and detailed manner. Our gift to you: It is included in the seminar price for our participants as an e-book.

IREB (International Requirements Engineering Board) Foundation can be applied in companies and organizations that require effective and efficient requirement gathering and management for their projects. It is particularly suitable for IT projects and helps to capture, validate, and manage stakeholder requirements in order to achieve a successful project outcome.

IREB (International Requirements Engineering Board) is an international non-profit organization focused on promoting and disseminating knowledge and best practices in the field of Requirements Engineering (RE). IREB was founded in 2005 by a group of experts from the Requirements Engineering community and has since played an important role in promoting Requirements Engineering as a part of the software engineering process.

The people who benefit the most from IREB are those who work in a role that directly or indirectly deals with requirements for software projects, such as:

• Requirements Engineers
• Project Managers
• Business Analysts
• Testers
• Software Developers

The IREB Foundation Level training provides a solid understanding of Requirements Engineering and an opportunity to improve skills in this area. This can help improve the quality of requirements, enhance collaboration between different project stakeholders, and improve the efficiency and success of software projects.

IREB (International Requirements Engineering Board) offers comprehensive training and certification in the field of Requirements Engineering, which may be suitable for individuals interested in this area and looking to enhance their skills. If you work in a role that frequently deals with requirements for software projects, then IREB is the right training for you.

The target audience for the IREB Foundation includes companies and individuals working in the field of requirements management or wishing to work in this area. This includes, for example, project managers, business analysts, product owners, developers, and testers. The IREB Foundation is relevant to organizations of all sizes and industries that want to improve and professionalize their requirements management processes.

The IREB® CPRE-FL seminar is suitable for everyone who communicates with technical representatives and IT representatives about IT processes. This applies to requirements engineers, business engineers, software architects, business analysts, product engineers, and project managers.
