This course provides a structured introduction to requirements engineering based on the IREB® Certified Professional for Requirements Engineering (CPRE) Foundation Level syllabus. It covers essential concepts, techniques and practices that help you elicit, document, analyse and validate requirements in a structured way. The course is designed to give you the skills you need to ensure clear, complete and consistent requirements that support successful development projects.
In this training you will dive into the fundamentals of requirements engineering, including how requirements relate to stakeholders, design decisions and project outcomes. The course focuses on practical methods for identifying stakeholder needs, structuring requirements artefacts and maintaining requirements quality throughout the lifecycle. You will work with real examples and exercises that prepare you for both certification and everyday requirements challenges.
Course objectivesAfter completing this course you will be able to:
PrerequisitesNo formal prerequisites are required, but basic familiarity with software development processes or project work is beneficial.
Target audienceThis course is suitable for:
You begin with understanding what requirements engineering is and why it is vital to successful projects. This includes terminology, quality attributes and the role of requirements in the software lifecycle.
This section covers how to identify, prioritise and engage stakeholders, and how to use elicitation techniques such as interviews, workshops and observation to uncover needs.
You learn structured techniques for documenting requirements, including text templates and models that help ensure clarity, consistency and reusability.
The course explores methods for reviewing, validating and improving requirements artefacts to ensure they are accurate and actionable.
You learn how requirements relate to design, tests and implementation, and how to handle changes in requirements without losing coherence.
This part of the course introduces tools and practices that support requirements creation, review and collaboration across stakeholders.
The exam must be completed within 75 minutes and covers about 45 multiple choice questions. On request non-native speakers may be granted a 15 minute extension. Depending on their difficulty questions are allocated a different number of points. The exam is closed-book: no materials may be used during the examination, with the exception of a language dictionary. To pass the exam, you must achieve at least 70% of the total possible score.
The course includes one exam voucher for the official ISTQB examination. The exam voucher is valid for 365 days from the date of issue, and the exam must be booked within six months after completing the course. The examination is conducted as an online proctored exam, unless otherwise stated.

Hva er IREB CPRE Foundation Level-sertifisering?
Det er en internasjonalt anerkjent sertifisering som dokumenterer grunnleggende kompetanse innen kravhåndtering og kravteknikk.
Trenger jeg forkunnskaper for dette kurset?
Nei, kurset har ingen formelle forkunnskapskrav, men erfaring fra IT-prosjekter eller utvikling er en fordel.
Hva lærer jeg om kravdokumentasjon?
Du lærer strukturerte teknikker for å dokumentere krav klart, konsist og forståelig for både teknikere og ikke-teknikere.
Hvordan brukes kravteknikk i testing?
God kravteknikk gir et solid grunnlag for testdesign ved at testtilfeller kan spores tilbake til krav.
Får jeg eksamen etter kurset?
Ja, kurset forbereder deg til IREB CPRE Foundation Level-eksamenen, som normalt er inkludert.
