for Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP) by International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA), u need 7500 hours hand-on BA experience and u can take the exam locally... bear in mind that IIBA has a very strict set of rules on what is "BA works" e.g. preparing for testing, test plan, testing, document testing, etc are not consider as BA works... u need to get a PMP certified PM, line manager or CBAP to confirm your 7500 BA hours b4 u can take the exam..
unless u wanna working with companies like Accenture, IBM as IT CONsultant then you can just take the course without taking the certification.... once a Head of IT dept of a local leading bank asked me... "Apa tu CBAP?"..
Really, those listed aren't part of BA works ?
Then, requirement gathering, document creation, facilitating end to end delivery, these are considered BA works, right? 7500 hours, i'm not sure how to measure it, but i think over the course of 5 years, I would have achieved it?
lols on the question.. but i know not many people are aware on how big BA diversity is in.. in US there's a whole department of BAs, BA Manager, and there's a BA program.. all of which are not found locally

how good must BA be in technical perspective?
IMO, all you need is have enough knowledge to know what you're going to propose to clients, and enough to know how to derive the information provided by your tech team.. You don't need to know how to code the system from scratch, but it's nice to know if you can understand some codes (simple ones, SQL, HTML, Js, etc), as you may need to deal with customers who are familiar with those..
