Business IT Promotional

An industry supported Business IT certification

The CWU Business IT certification follows CWU’s detailed review of 50 of the top 100 IT MBAs – which found that too few taught business leaders an essential understanding of digital technology. With the support of companies such as Google, Dell, Intel, and SAP, the Business IT certification was developed for business leaders and senior management to understand the basic language of technology, and recognize the opportunities and risks associated by these emerging technologies.

Certify your fundamental understanding of key IT concepts:

  • Big Data
  • Blockchain technology
  • Cloud computing
  • Cybersecurity
  • Digital compliance
  • Digital transformation
  • IoT - Internet of Things
  • Machine Learning
  • Management and control
  • Mobility
  • Social Business

If you choose to self-study, you can purchase a bundle of an exam and you will receive a download of the CWU Business IT Fundamentals Self-Study Guide for FREE

Getting CWU certified

Achieving the CWU Foundation certificate requires you to pass an exam. Once you pass the exam you will be awarded an e-certificate and digital badge confirming achievement.

APMG recommends studying for the exam by attending a training course with an Accredited Training Organization (ATO) to maximise your chance of passing the exam. Please register your interest to be notified when an ATO becomes available.

Alternatively you can self-study and book an exam to take online, at a time and date of your choosing.
