The International Requirements Engineering Board (IREB) is an international nonprofit organization that focuses on the further professionalization of the Requirements discipline. (Equivalent to ISTQB in testing.) Within IREB are requirements engineering experts like Chris Rupp and Suzanne Robertson member of the international board.

Meanwhile IREB developed a certification program for Requirement Engineering (CPRE). The internationally recognized examinations are conducted by the International Software Quality Institute (iSQI).

The curriculum has three levels: Foundation Certificate, Advanced Certificate and Expert Certificate

This three-day accredited course is a preparation for the exam "Certified Professional for Requirements Engineering - Advanced Level, Elicitat ion and Consolidation" and meets the requirements as set down by IREB. The focus is set on acquiring and developing advanced requirements engineering topics in the area of: requirements sources, elicitation techniques, consolidation techniques and communication. In addition to the theoretical foundations, the course places great emphasis on practical exercises. Hence, practical components account for roughly half the course timetable.

The certification itself consists of two parts and is optional. The written examination, which is the first part of the certification, is held during the afternoon of the third day. For those who are not taking part in the examination, the instructor will be available during this period in order to clarify any questions and to go into more detail about the course content. The second part of the certification involves the implementation of the taught course content in the form of a practical assignment. This part is not included in the actual course and is conducted by an independent examiner.
