What is IREB CPRE?
IREB is the International Requirements Engineering Board. It develops the CPRE certification program, including syllabi, handbooks, glossaries, and other learning resources.
CPRE stands for Certified Professional for Requirements Engineering. The target audience includes requirements engineers, business analysts, product owners, testers, UX/CX roles, and software and systems development professionals.
The roles are clearly separated: IREB defines the CPRE scheme and its content. Training providers such as tecnovy deliver the training. Certification bodies conduct the exams and issue the certificates. The organization that trains you does not examine you. This separation ensures objectivity.
For your career, CPRE is an established standard in the DACH region. Job postings for requirements engineers, business analysts, and product owners often list the Foundation certificate as a preferred or required qualification.

FAQS about IREB
-
01 What is IREB CPRE?
CPRE stands for Certified Professional for Requirements Engineering. Developed by IREB for people who work professionally with requirements: requirements engineers, business analysts, product owners, testers, UX/CX roles, plus software and systems development.
-
02 Which IREB training fits me?
New to requirements engineering? Start with CPRE Foundation Level. Already completed Foundation? Pick a Practitioner module (Elicitation, Management, Modeling, or RE@Agile). Focused on AI in RE? AI4RE is the right entry point.
-
03 Do I need prerequisites for CPRE Foundation?
No. CPRE Foundation Level has no formal entry requirements. Take the course or study on your own, then sit the exam.
-
04 What is the difference between Foundation, Practitioner, and Specialist?
Foundation = entry. Practitioner = specialisation in a single topic (Elicitation, Management, Modeling, RE@Agile). Specialist = applying the methods in your own project context, building on the Practitioner certificate.
-
05 How does the CPRE exam work?
Foundation and Practitioner: multiple-choice exam based on the relevant syllabus and handbook. Taken through recognised certifiers, not directly through IREB.
-
06 Can I take the CPRE exam online?
Yes, many certifiers offer online exams. Booking and delivery depend on the certifier.
-
07 How long is a CPRE certificate valid?
According to IREB, a CPRE certificate is a lifelong proof of competence. No regular renewal is required.
-
08 What is AI4RE?
AI4RE is a CPRE Micro-Credential for AI in requirements engineering. No formal prerequisites (IREB recommends CPRE Foundation knowledge). Content: AI in elicitation, documentation, validation, and management of requirements; limits, risks, data protection, human oversight. Once you pass: a digital badge, valid for three years.
-
09 What happens if I fail the exam?
At tecnovy the certification guarantee applies: if you fail, you get a free online retake. Condition: take the first exam within 24 hours of the training ending, so the material stays fresh and the risk does not sit with you.
-
10 What does the CPRE exam cost?

VAT): CPRE Foundation around EUR 275, Practitioner modules around EUR 250 per module, Specialist Level around EUR 690. Exact fee shown at booking; current prices on future-network-cert.at.
