Once all four exams have been passed, the oral examination can be booked with BCS directly. The oral exam can take up to 50 minutes with two examiners, who will provide a range of questions. Questions will be based on topics defined in the oral examination syllabus and from your chosen specialist modules. The questions will require you to apply your business analysis knowledge and understanding to scenarios described by the oral examiners.
