Certified Business Architect® Continuing Education Unit (CEU) Program

The Certified Business Architect (CBA)® program certifies an individual as competent in the field of business architecture for a period of three years from date of issuance of the CBA®. During this period of time, individuals having achieved CBA® status will be required to maintain certification status by logging continuing education unit (CEU) credits. CBA®s must also remain members on a continuous basis, without lapse, in order to maintain their certification.

CEU Program

The first release of the program provides CBA® designated individuals with a number of options for maintaining certification. The program will evolve based on the evolution of Guild and third party programs and offerings.

A single CEU credit is defined as one (1) hour of participation in a Guild recognized, event, training course, webinar or other designated program. To maintain CBA® designation, an individual having achieved CBA® status must have logged at least 25 CEU credits during a three-year period that begins upon notice of certification into the CBA® program.

The CEU program is intended to continue increasing the skills and experience of those with the CBA® designation. The majority of CEU opportunities are offered at no cost to Guild members.

Receiving Continuing Education Units

You may not apply CEUs in advance of earning your CBA® designation.

The Guild will apply all Continuing Education Units directly to the CBA®’s member record. You may view credits eared in your dashboard. Credits will be located under your member profile/professional development. We do our best to post credits within the timeframes listed below, but please be patient as there may be delays due to unforeseen circumstances.        

Guild authorship credits will be posted within three weeks of the event or the BIZBOK Guide®/whitepaper release.

GATP® course and event providers must submit the required forms to the Guild. We anticipate CEUs will be applied within 45 days based on the receipt of the attendee list. 

Annual CEUs (for Guild participation) will be posted in June, prior to the Guild fiscal year end. 

Most, but not all, live and recorded webinars hosted after September, 2015 are eligible for 1 credit. Webinars will clearly be labeled. In order to receive a CEU, proof of attendance is required. Some webinars require that you enter the verification code provided by the webinar host at some point during the webinar. Some webinars require that you pass a 3 question quiz. You are only allowed 1 attempt. If you are not sure of your answer, pause the quiz and go back and rewatch the webinar. Credit will be applied to your profile immediately.

CEUs for Guild events require the CBA® to register on the Guild website directly and to confirm attendance via the sign-in sheet. No CEUs can be awarded to those who register with OMG directly. Process may vary, so follow instructions for the event you attend.

Program Evolution

This program will evolve from time-to-time. Updates will be posted to the Guild certification website.

Failure to Comply

If the required number of CEU credits is not earned during such time, that individual’s CBA® status will be terminated but his/her membership will be maintained based on their renewal anniversary.
