The CPRE Advanced Level offered by IREB is modular. Currently, CPRE-FL professionals can acquire the Advanced Level Certificate in the respective independent modules of "RE@Agile", "Requirements Elicitation & Consolidation", "Requirements Management" and "Requirements Modeling".

Advanced Level is aimed at those who already hold the CPRE Foundation Level Certificate wishing to deepen their knowledge in a sub-discipline of requirements engineering or business analysis.

The CPRE AL Management module deepens both knowledge and skills in requirements management.

Requirements management can be considered from three points of view:

• Managing (administering) requirements and requirements artefacts in the development process.
• managing requirements engineering activities (i.e. requirements management as process management)
•  managing system components or components in the system context

What requirements must be met?

The prerequisite for admission to the CPRE Advanced Level Practitioner exam is possession of the CPRE Foundation Level Certificate or the BCS Requirements Engineering Certificate.
