IREB® AI4RE - AI for Requirements Engineering

No, the tecnovy AI4RE training is the right place for you even without experience of AI tools or prompting, as long as you work with requirements day to day. The AI4RE micro-credential has no formal admission requirements; IREB recommends foundation-level CPRE knowledge, because the use cases assume you know the requirements process.

Compact is the one-day tecnovy AI4RE training, built around the micro-credential and its examination. Intensive starts with the same day and adds the "Bring Your Own Case" practice lab: on the second day you apply what you have learned, together with the group, to your own specifications, user stories or models, as far as you are allowed to share them. In the list of dates, every date is marked Compact or Intensive.

The examination is about 22 multiple-choice questions in 30 minutes, and you pass from 80.00 percent of the available points. Questions carry different weights, so the threshold is about points rather than the number of correct answers. It sits higher than the CPRE examinations, which are passed at 70.00 percent.

You sit the AI4RE examination as an unsupervised online assessment with our certification body Certible, for which a current browser and a stable connection are enough. You add the fee to your tecnovy registration when you book. The examination is open book, but AI assistants are not allowed.

Three years from issue, after which it expires. IREB limits the badges of all CPRE micro-credentials to three years because the field moves quickly. That sets AI4RE apart from the CPRE certificates at Foundation, Practitioner and Specialist level, which do not expire.

No, AI4RE is a micro-credential and sits beside the four CPRE levels of Foundation, Practitioner, Specialist and Expert rather than inside them. It counts toward none of them and replaces none of them. If you are aiming for a level in the scheme, you start at the CPRE Foundation Level and then go deeper with one of the four Practitioner modules, all of which tecnovy teaches.

No, and that boundary is a unit of the AI4RE syllabus in its own right. Language models produce plausible wording, not verified requirements: they invent detail, smooth over contradictions and lose context only the people involved hold. So in the tecnovy training you work on the points where you have to check the output.

Only if your company's contract with the AI provider and its internal data protection approval allow it. Confidentiality and data protection are part of the AI4RE unit on risks, and the tecnovy training covers how to handle sensitive requirements before they reach a model.

You can retake the examination twice with no waiting period; only after a third failed attempt does IREB require a year's pause. tecnovy gives you the second attempt as an online examination if your first sitting is within 24 hours of the training, which with an unsupervised online assessment can be the same day.

You get the seminar script and a photo record of every flipchart produced during the training, including the prompt patterns and risk lists from the exercises. IREB's official AI4RE study guide is freely available on the IREB website and is used in the training as the shared basis.
