This requirements engineering course is predominantly interactive. Based on short impulse phases, numerous exercises are carried out and discussed together.

This training is aimed at requirements engineers, business analysts, business engineers, product engineers and project staff, 

• who have to set and define or interpret requirements.
• who want to obtain the «IREB® Foundation» certification.
• who want to explore the possibilities of AI in the field of requirements engineering.

We recommend that you first attend the «IREB® Requirements Engineering (QM2)» training course and then the «AI im Requirements Engineering (AIRE)» training course.

There are no formal admission criteria for exam preparation. We will provide you with the IREB® manual in the Digicomp app approximately one week before the course starts. Use the manual to familiarize yourself with the course content and the IREB® wording. 

Basic knowledge of requirements engineering is helpful for the AI training in order to understand the use of AI methods in the right context. Basic knowledge of information technology and data analysis is also an advantage.

An essential prerequisite is an openness and willingness to engage with new technologies and concepts and to integrate innovative approaches into everyday work.

Participants in this course have the opportunity to document their knowledge with the international CPRE® certification. Another plus on your CV.

Before the course starts, Certible will send you a voucher and the link to register for the exam. The voucher code must be redeemed when you register, where you can also select your preferred exam date.

After registering, you will receive access data to Certible's self-service portal, where you can flexibly reschedule your booked date - there are no deadlines to observe and no additional costs.

Technical requirements

• A computer with a stable internet connection, webcam and microphone as well as one of the supported browsers (e.g. Chrome, Firefox) is required for the online exam with Certible. No installation is required. Further information about remote testing with Certible can be found at https://www.certible.com/remote-exams/
• If possible, we recommend using a private device and private network for the test, especially if your company computer or network is subject to restrictions. 
• In the self-service portal, you also have the option to perform a technical test to ensure that your technology is compatible with the exam software.

Exam format

• The exam lasts 75 minutes. On request, for example if your native language is not the same as the examination language, the duration of the examination can be extended to 90 minutes.
• Approximately 45 multiple-choice questions must be answered during this time. The questions vary in difficulty and are awarded different numbers of points accordingly. No aids are permitted during the examination. You have passed the exam if you have achieved 70% of the points or more.
