Your CPRE career path

The CPRE career path systematically guides you on your journey to excellence in Requirements Engineering. With the Foundation Level, you build a solid foundation. Building on this, you deepen your knowledge in the Practitioner modules (Elicitation, Modeling, Management, RE@Agile). As a Specialist, you demonstrate your ability to apply methods in a reflective and practice-oriented way. Achieving the CPRE Expert certification documents your comprehensive expertise and long-standing experience in Requirements Engineering.

Micro-Credentials complement all levels flexibly and enable targeted competence development in clearly defined subject areas.

Level 1 | Foundation

Your first step

Your professional development path begins with the CPRE Foundation level. This level provides you with basic knowledge and skills in Requirements Engineering. You will learn the essential methods and techniques that will help you to work efficiently and purposefully.

Level 2 | Practitioner

Knowledge development for your specialization

After the Foundation level, you can deepen your knowledge in specific areas with the Practitioner. This level provides you with comprehensive knowledge and skills in selected key areas of Requirements Engineering.

You will deepen your knowledge in one of the following modules:

The Practitioner certification professionalizes your RE practice and prepares you for more demanding tasks in your professional field.

Level 3 | Specialist

Your certificate of competence in the specialization

Show that you can apply your professional knowledge — become a CPRE Specialist! The Specialist certificate certifies your advanced theoretical and practical skills as well as competencies in selected key areas of Requirements Engineering.

The focal points correspond to those of the Practitioner:

With the CPRE Specialist certification, you demonstrate your ability to manage complex projects and tasks in Requirements Engineering successfully.

Level 4 | Expert

Your certificate of competence in Requirements Engineering

The CPRE Expert certification represents the highest level in your professional development path. This certificate is proof of your comprehensive and cross-functional skills in Requirements Engineering. As a CPRE Expert, you will be able to advise, coach, or mentor professionals and support organizations in optimizing RE processes. This level requires not only outstanding knowledge and skills, but also practical experience in the application of Requirements Engineering.

Which specialization is the right one for you?

Requirements Elicitation

Deepen your knowledge of requirements elicitation and learn how to elicit requirements efficiently and accurately. Apply basic techniques and methods for identifying and analyzing requirements and involve the relevant stakeholders effectively.

Requirements Management

Learn how to manage requirements and changes to requirements. The Management module teaches you how to efficiently version, prioritize, track, change, and maintain requirements.

Requirements Modeling

Discover the art of modeling requirements and improve your ability to structure and visualize complex systems. Learn how to model information, function and behavior and how to document and communicate requirements clearly and comprehensibly.

RE@Agile

Integrate proven Requirements Engineering practices into agile development processes. Capture requirements incrementally and iteratively and communicate them to your agile teams. Use the advantages of agile methods to react to changes flexibly and to continuously maximize the added value of your projects.

Micro-Credentials

The AI4RE micro-credential is currently available.
Further micro-credentials will follow.
