How self-study works

We provide a hard copy BCS Requirements Engineering self-study manual requiring around 18-21 hours of study and then the online exam when you are ready. We expect you to sit the exam within 12 months of receiving the manual.

The focus of the manual is on acquiring the relevant knowledge and practising exam questions. Each chapter covers the relevant syllabus content, provides exam hints and finishes with a knowledge test and sample exam questions.

The manual finishes with a final set of exam revision questions and then when you think you are ready, a full mock exam paper enabling you to test your knowledge and practise exam technique.

Online BCS exams are taken in you own home/office and will require use of Zoom and running exam software via your internet browser.

Suitable for

  • Individuals who wish to self-study in their own time and take the exam out of work hours.
  • Anyone who is needing to elicit, analyse and document requirements as part of their job role and wants to learn these skills in the most cost-effective manner.
