IREB® Advanced Level Requirements Elicitation (CPRE AL)

Structured requirements elicitation is a key discipline in professional requirements engineering – and this course equips you with exactly that. In the CPRE – Requirements Elicitation module, you’ll learn how to systematically identify requirements, apply proven elicitation techniques, and resolve conflicts early and effectively.

You’ll receive a practical framework for planning and conducting elicitation, including stakeholder analysis, source identification (documents, systems), creative techniques, and conflict resolution methods. You’ll also reflect on your own communication and elicitation skills to grow in your role as a requirements engineer.

This course follows the official IREB® syllabus and prepares you for both certification levels: the Practitioner exam (multiple choice) and the Specialist exam (written assignment). You can choose whether to take only the first level or both.

By the end of this training, you will be able to:

• understand the role of elicitation within the broader context of requirements engineering

• systematically identify, analyze, and document requirements

• select and apply the right elicitation techniques for different scenarios

• identify and classify stakeholders and involve them effectively in the elicitation process

• recognize, analyze, and resolve conflicts between requirements in a structured and constructive way

• reflect on and improve your own communication and elicitation skills

• prepare confidently for the CPRE certification exams at Practitioner and Specialist levels

This course is based on the current syllabus of the IREB® (International Requirements Engineering Board) and prepares you for certification as a CPRE – Certified Professional for Requirements Engineering – Elicitation.

The certification consists of two parts:

• Practitioner certificate: Multiple-choice exam (approx. 45 questions, 75 minutes)

• Specialist certificate: Written assignment after passing the Practitioner level

Booking note:

When booking through our website, we offer the combined exam package by default (Practitioner + Specialist).
