The Certified Business Architect (CBA)® program certifies an individual as competent in the field of business architecture for a period of three years from date of issuance of the CBA®. During this period of time, individuals having achieved CBA® status will be required to maintain certification status by logging continuing education unit (CEU) credits. CBA®s must maintain membership to earn CEUs. Once the CEU requirement has been met, membership may be lapsed but a CBA® must be reinstated as a member before CBA® status can be renewed.
