About this qualification
A practical, in-depth grounding in modelling how an organisation works — and a practitioner module of the BCS International Diploma.
The BCS Practitioner Certificate in Modelling Business Processes is a practitioner-level qualification certified by BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT. It teaches you to model how an organisation actually works — so you can see where processes break down and design better ones.
You’ll model processes at three levels — the whole enterprise, the event-driven process, and the individual task — using organisational models and techniques like structured English. You’ll also learn to measure process performance and evaluate processes for improvement.
It’s a practitioner module of the BCS International Diploma in Business Analysis. There’s no formal prerequisite, though some practical BA experience helps and the Foundation Certificate is a useful starting point.

You can’t improve a process you can’t see. See how modelling makes the work visible — and better.
Mapping the Process
No one could explain end to end how an order actually got fulfilled — each team only saw their own bit. Modelling it at the process level, then drilling into the tasks, laid the whole flow out on one page for the first time.
Exam details
The official BCS exam is an optional add-on — add it to your course at checkout, and we’ll arrange the booking with BCS when you’re ready. It’s a closed-book, multiple-choice exam testing how well you understand and can apply business process modelling.
You sit the exam online through BCS’s remote invigilation. Here’s the full process, from booking to results.
When you feel ready, contact your account manager. We handle the booking with BCS and confirm your exam date, time, and joining instructions — usually within 5–10 working days.
You need a laptop or desktop computer (not a mobile or tablet), a working webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection.
Log in 15 minutes before your scheduled start. The invigilator will verify your identity using photo ID and ask you to scan your room. The 60-minute timer then begins. No notes or materials are permitted — it’s a closed-book exam.
You get a provisional pass or fail result as soon as you finish. Your official BCS certificate and digital badge follow shortly after, with your result available in your BCS candidate account.
If you need to reschedule, contact us at least 48 hours before your exam time. We will arrange a new date at no additional charge.
