Communicating and negotiating well are essential for them. Good at using a variety of business intelligence tools to create interactive reports. It would be extremely beneficial to obtain a certification from the International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA), such as Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP).
How do I become a certified business analyst?
How long does it take to get a business analyst certification?
Candidates for the CBAP® designation must have completed at least 7,500 hours of business analysis work in the previous ten years.

Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to establish the minimum requirements for an information security awareness and training program at W&M.
Scope
This policy applies to all William & Mary faculty, staff, and student employees requiring access to the university’s information systems. Contractors are not covered by this policy.
Policy
The W&M Information Security Office will administer a mandatory information security awareness and training program to increase awareness and train university staff in the secure handling and use of the university’s information and information assets, including hardware, software, and data. The mandatory training program is assigned annually, and individuals will be allotted a limited time period to complete. All active faculty and staff are required to complete the training. All new employees will be assigned mandatory training within 24 hours of account creation and will be allotted a limited time period to complete. If an individual fails to complete the training within the specified deadline access to IT services will be locked until the training is completed.
Exemptions from this requirement must be approved by the Chief Operating Officer or designee.
Requests for exemptions from this policy should only be made under the following circumstances:
- An individual has been hired within the last year and was assigned the training at hire (no need to take twice in same year).
- An individual is on some type of leave from the university and not currently working (e.g., Adjunct Faculty not currently teaching a course, faculty member on sabbatical, etc.…).
- An individual has completed equivalent information security training and has evidence of completion.
- An individual cannot access the online training due to technical circumstances.
- An individual has some other legitimate and approved reason for not being able to complete the training.
- Requests for exemptions can be submitted using the Security Training Exemption Request form.
Non-compliance
An employee’s failure to comply with any of the above policy statements may result in being disciplined, in accordance with general university employment policies and procedures that apply to the respective category of employees. The university may also temporarily deny access to university information systems and may refer the case to the appropriate local, state, or federal authority for further disposition.
A student’s failure to comply with any of the above policy statements may result in disciplinary actions in accordance with the Student Handbook. Depending on the nature and severity of the violation, the university may take one or more of the disciplinary actions listed under Administration of Student Code of Conduct, Section VII. The university may also temporarily deny access to university information systems and may refer the case to the appropriate local, state, or federal authority for further disposition.
Each state has different professional licensure and certification requirements in disciplines such as, but not limited to, accounting, counseling, engineering, and health professions. The University of New Haven works to confirm that our programs meet the educational requirements for those programs that lead to professional licensure or certification. Below is a listing of our current programs that lead to licensure or certification. Please follow the link for the program that you are interested in. On each program page, we have provided state licensing guidance information and we make every effort to ensure licensure information is current. Licensure and certification information is reviewed and updated in March of each year.
Please note that the completion of a University of New Haven program does not ensure employment or eligibility to receive a license or credential in every state or location in that profession. In many cases, there are state laws and there may be additional requirements (e.g., background checks and/or fingerprinting, professional exams, years of supervised professional work experience, fee requirements, etc.). These requirements can vary from state to state. Note also that some required practicums and internships can require background checks or fingerprinting.
Students who are considering an academic program that may allow them to pursue professional licensure or certification are strongly encouraged to check with the state licensing board where they intend to seek employment to confirm all requirements. Licensing board and contact information is provided for each state. It is a student's responsibility to understand the specific requirements of the state in which they intend to apply for licensure and to be aware of any changes to those requirements.
Important note for relocation during the course of a program:
Prospective and current students should keep in mind that licensing and certification requirements vary by state and that relocating during the course of a program to another state could impact whether that student can meet the eligibility requirements in the state they intend to move to. If students are considering relocating, they should contact their program adviser or department chair to check for licensure or certification eligibility requirements. Current students can check the Student Location Policy in the Student Handbook. Upon relocation or change of address, students must update their student record with the new location information within 10 days.

It's vital to us that environmental sustainability is embedded in the way our programmes are made and that production processes support our ambitions to be a net zero broadcaster. We work with the BAFTA albert consortium and use the albert system to track this.
This page offers specific guidance on our sustainability requirements, what to submit and useful resources.
An end-to-end guide to the complete process across both editorial and production, advice on how sustainable behaviours can be treated on screen and more resources for producers can be found on the commissioning website.
Requirements and exemptions
albert certification is mandatory for all new commissions and recommissions of TV broadcast content including content from Television, the Nations, Children’s and Education, BBC Film and non-News related Sport.
For digital video content, eg content commissioned for YouTube or iPlayer only, certification is encouraged but not mandatory, but an albert carbon footprint is required.
In all categories limited exemptions apply for very short, low budget or acquired content.
Exemptions
We and albert understand that each production is unique and what can be delivered in terms of sustainability will vary. The nature of individual titles, the location and size of the company, and the surrounding production infrastructure will all affect the availability and viability of certain actions. The below is a rough guide to exemptions:
- Where the total programme rights license fee (PRLF) for the entire project (all episodes) is £50,000 or less.
- Where the PRLF is over £50,000 but the total, aggregated duration of the programmes or entire series is under 15 minutes.
- Acquisitions.
- Programmes made entirely from archive footage and reversions involving post-production only, with no specially shot material.
- Co-productions where the BBC is a minority funder (providing less than 50% of the budget): certification is encouraged but not mandatory.
- Foreign based indies: are encouraged to use albert or an equivalent local scheme if available in their territory, but certification is not mandatory. Find out more about albert international.
- Fast-turnaround and live programmes: can be certified, but we advise productions to get in touch with albert as soon as possible to discuss. If the speed of production means any of the criteria prove difficult to meet then they will be considered as part of albert’s 'best efforts' approach (see below).
Programmes which are exempt at the point of commission maintain their exemption, even if they subsequently fulfil the criteria for mandatory certification (for example by extending their length), as certification cannot be applied for retrospectively. For that reason, BAFTA’s albert advisors certify each production on a title by title basis according to how the company have delivered on that specific title, and the certification process allows for a 'best efforts' approach. This will be based on the producer influencing outcomes where they can and making the strongest sustainability choices possible, but understanding that ultimately there may be limitations that are outside of the producer’s control.
albert will not penalise producers for the following:
- A lack of facilities, or other restrictions, in a particular location where a production or company is based.
- Scenarios where clear barriers to emission reduction measures are the responsibility of others (or resolving these barriers would be part of a bigger infrastructure change).
In these cases, certification will not automatically be withheld. Instead, where the sustainable action is mandatory, evidence will be sought to demonstrate the producer has taken all measures that are reasonably within their control to address the barrier.
Albert certification
There are three core components to albert certification, all of which must be completed before certification can be granted:
- Completing an albert carbon footprint to measure your emissions
- Developing a carbon action plan to reduce your emissions and providing evidence of the actions taken
- Offsetting any residual emissions you can’t eliminate (until January 2024)
When a production attains albert certification the albert logo can then be used in their programme endboard.
Both the carbon footprint and action plan should be discussed with the BBC commissioning representative as part of the commissioning process, and a line for carbon offsets should be included in the production budget.
We expect the senior members of a production team to lead on environmental sustainability. The albert process should be started as early as possible and the carbon action plan submitted before filming starts. Failure to do this risks the production’s ability to achieve certification. We recommend setting up a company albert account when a production is at the development stage and/or goes through the commissioning process.
Contact albert to set up an albert company account and logins for staff and see the resources section below for more information and useful contacts.
Once the production company has an albert account, one member of staff should be nominated as the main liaison for all things albert. This person can also develop the knowledge to guide successive productions.
Live or fast-turnaround programmes should contact albert for advice as soon as they can re the best process.
The albert carbon footprint is the first stage of gaining albert certification.
The carbon footprint form requires the input of data such as a production’s travel, accommodation, energy use in studios or on location, staffing and time in post-production. It's created using the albert carbon calculator.
Getting to know the information required in advance will make it easier to complete the final form.
We recommend completing the draft carbon footprint as soon as possible during pre-production, no matter how small the initial team. This will help when discussing sustainability plans with the BBC commissioning representative, inform decisions on how best to cut the production's carbon footprint, and when completing the final footprint form. It can be based on the draft budget and is an initial estimate only and can be refined during the production process.
The carbon footprint can either be regularly updated throughout the production process or completed in one go at the end. However, collecting the information throughout the production process will make it significantly easier to fill in the final form.
The calculator can be found at https://calc.wearealbert.org.
The completed carbon footprint form must be checked and approved by the production company’s nominated albert reviewer for accuracy. It will then be automatically directed to an external auditor for a standard assurance review. Once audited and approved, the nominated albert reviewer will receive an automated email from albert@bafta.org with 'Final carbon footprint has been approved' in the subject line.
It is then the production company’s responsibility to forward this email to their BBC delivery contact. This must be done within six weeks of the final episode delivery, and ideally at the point of delivery.

The carbon action plan helps productions identify how they can reduce their emissions. It should only be submitted to albert once the programme editorial is confirmed, as it can’t be updated.
Producers must begin the albert carbon action plan process in pre-production or they are unlikely to gain certification, resulting in a failure to achieve the BBCs mandatory requirement.
To begin, the senior team in the production should talk through the list of yes/no starter questions. These should be considered and answered based on what the senior team judge to be achievable actions. These answers will help identify where environmental actions can be embedded and will form the basis of the production’s carbon action plan.
Please note, albert does not certify productions that use domestic flights within mainland UK, unless under exceptional circumstances. Exceptional circumstances include medical emergencies, child safeguarding issues, and unavoidable disruptions to alternative transport such as strikes or extreme weather. Where a production believes it may be impossible to deliver a project without the use of domestic flights this should be discussed with the commissioner as soon as possible.
Once a title has been commissioned/green lit, but before filming has begun, the completed online carbon action plan is submitted to albert. albert will then respond with a request for evidence of the decarbonisation actions taken, which needs to be gathered during the production process. Providing evidence is a key component of the albert carbon action plan process, and not doing so will result in failure to achieve certification.
We therefore recommend that productions set up a shared ‘green evidence folder’ which can be accessed by the whole production team. All evidence can then be uploaded in one place by the different members of the team, reducing the burden of gathering any outstanding information at the end of production, which can often be hard to find retrospectively.
The carbon action plan can be found at https://calc.wearealbert.org.
Submitting the carbon action plan evidence
The completed online carbon action plan must be submitted to albert before filming has begun. albert will then respond with a request for evidence of the decarbonisation actions taken.
A minimum of 60% of the evidence should be submitted before the end of the offline edit so albert can check it and issue the logo in time to include in the programme’s end credits. Note, albert typically require a minimum of two weeks between the receipt of evidence and the issuing of the albert logo, though there is some flexibility specifically for fast-turnaround programmes if discussed in advance.
Up to 40% of the carbon action plan evidence can be provided after post-production and after the carbon footprint has been submitted.
Offsetting
Offsetting emissions is a compulsory part of the albert certification process until 2 January 2024. Further information about the replacement process to support sustainability within our industry will be communicated with producers before this time, and in the meantime please read the albert memo for further details. Until January 2024, all productions starting or completing the albert certification process should continue to follow the offsetting guidelines below and productions in development should continue to budget for offsetting costs.
The first step is for all productions to estimate their offsetting costs on their production budget at the point of commission, using one of the methods below:
- Based on the average figure of 0.1% of a production’s overall budget (this % can vary by genre).
- Using the estimator tool on albert’s Creative Offsets website.
- Using the draft carbon footprint figure and a cost of £10.50 per CO2Et of emissions.
When the final footprint is completed at the end of the production the accurate offset cost can be calculated, recorded in the production budget, and paid.
All independent production companies should either pay their offset via BAFTA albert’s Creative Offsets programme, at a cost of £10.50 per tonne CO2e, or by choosing a Verified offsetting scheme of their own. Productions will be eligible for certification when the offset cost is paid and receipt provided as evidence to albert.
Gaining certification and albert logo
Once the carbon footprint and carbon action plan evidence have been submitted for review and the offsetting costs are paid productions will be assessed by albert based on:
- How many of the agreed actions in the action plan have been implemented.
- The quality of their evidence.
- The level of sustainability achieved - indicated by the star rating awarded based on questions answered (between one and three stars).
After receiving albert certification productions can use the albert certification logo on their programme endboard to show that sustainable best practices have been embedded in the production. A production must have completed the entire albert certification process (footprint, carbon action plan and offsetting) to be eligible to use the logo. To enable this the carbon footprint and action plan should therefore be completed and submitted before the final offline edit.
The logo will be provided by albert. Please see the Credits and branding page for logo positioning.
Productions must forward the albert certification confirmation email to their BBC delivery contact within six weeks of final episode delivery.

- NH State Certification & Licensure
Earning Certification Online
Students who successfully complete a certification program at Southern New Hampshire University may be recommended to the State of New Hampshire Board of Education for initial or secondary NH State Licensure. Students teaching in states other than New Hampshire are responsible for checking with their state board of education to determine reciprocity or other inter-state agreements between NH and their home, teaching state.
Reciprocity, What Does It Really Mean?
In most cases, reciprocity does not allow for an automatic transfer of initial teacher licensure from one state to another state. Requirements for educators differ from state to state, thus there may be more tests, courses, fieldwork and/or workshops that you will have to complete to be fully licensed in another state. Similarly, secondary licensure may have additional requirements depending on your state. For the most part, after processing the initial paperwork states under an interstate agreement will issue you a "temporary" license for a period of one to two years, giving you this time to complete any requirements that you may be missing. It is very important to know what the licensure requirements are for the state to which you wish to transfer your license.
Students seeking secondary NH licensure at Southern New Hampshire University are responsible for identifying the licensure requirements within their state of teacher employment.
Consistent with all applicable federal and state laws, rules, regulations and ordinances (e.g. Title III, Title VI, Title VII, Title IX, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act as amended), and in recognition of its responsibilities to its faculty, staff, and students as well as to the communities in which it operates, Southern New Hampshire University reaffirms its continuing commitment to afford qualified or qualifiable individuals equal access and equal opportunity within the University.

Electronic transcripts can be considered official if they are sent by an approved and secure file transfer system. Credit considered for transfer must be from the issuing institution; transfer credit posted on another institution's transcript will not be accepted.
Students who wish to transfer their credit elsewhere are responsible for verifying the transferability of credit prior to enrollment. SNHU does not ensure that courses will transfer.
Credit for Prior Learning comprises the processes and practices of determining if knowledge gained in a variety of settings, may warrant consideration of college credit. To be eligible for prior learning credit students must be enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate program at SNHU. Official documentation that can be authenticated is required. For evaluating non-traditional learning experiences, SNHU recognizes the services of American Council on Education (ACE) and National College Credit Recommendation Service (NCCRS).
Working toward a degree is a smart investment in your future - and at Southern New Hampshire University, it's an affordable one, too. We keep our costs low, and financial aid is available to those who qualify. Additional tuition and fee information:
An official withdrawal refers to an action taken by the student at SNHU to discontinue his/her enrollment. Students who use federal financial aid and/or military benefits and fail all courses in a term will be reviewed for participation. Students who cease participation in graded activities before completing through 60% of the term will be classified as receiving an "unearned F" which is defined as an unofficial withdrawal.
Financial Assistance Information
Every student should complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine eligibility for federal financial aid programs if financial assistance is needed, Students and their families should understand the FAFSA process, eligibility requirements to apply with the FAFSA, dependency status, and the importance and use of the Federal Student Aid (FSA) ID.

Cost of Attendance (COA) is an estimate of the student's educational expenses to maintain a reasonable/moderate standard of living for a period of enrollment and is not the amount paid directly to Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU). The COA is used when calculating a student's eligibility for financial aid only. The COA includes both direct costs (tuition, fees and on campus living expenses paid directly to SNHU if applicable) and indirect costs (living, books, transportation and personal expenses).
Online entrance counseling is a requirement for all first-time Direct Loan borrowers which assists students to understand how the Direct Loan program and the obligation of repayment upon signing the Master Promissory Note (MPN) obligation, how to manage education expenses and to understand the rights and responsibilities as a borrower.
Direct Loan borrowers are required to complete exit counseling when graduating, stopping attendance or a drop below half-time enrollment. Exit counseling reviews borrowing history, servicer information, monthly payments, repayment plans, and strategies for successful repayment.
