iSAQB Certified Professional for Software Architecture - Foundation Level Voeg toe aan favorieten

Introduction
Become a globally-recognized certified software architect in four intensive days. This accredited training is hosted by certified hands-on architects who will teach from theory as well as practical insights on software architecture.

Detailed description
Software architecture isn’t just about drawing boxes and lines, it’s about making decisions that can make or break a system for years to come. Yet most developers are thrust into architectural roles without proper training, learning through expensive trial-and-error. There’s a better way.

The iSAQB® Certified Professional for Software Architecture (CPSA®) Foundation Level is the gold standard for software architecture certification, recognized globally by leading tech companies and enterprises. This intensive four-day training doesn’t just prepare you for certification, it transforms how you think about software design, giving you battle-tested frameworks and techniques that typically take years to develop through experience alone. You’ll learn to independently design, document, and validate architectures for small to medium-sized systems. Through a blend of essential theory, hands-on practical exercises, and real-world case studies, you’ll gain the tools and confidence to make architectural decisions that balance technical excellence with business needs. The learning material was completely rebuilt in 2025 to reflect the latest industry practices, ensuring you’re learning cutting-edge approaches, not outdated patterns. By the end of this training, you’ll think like an architect: understanding not just the “what” and “how,” but the crucial “why” behind architectural decisions. And you’ll have the internationally recognized iSAQB certification to prove it.

The material for this training was completely rebuilt in 2025 to conform with the state of the art in software architecture.

The next Open Schedule training is scheduled at the OpenValue Utrecht office on the following dates:

Training Day 1: Thursday March 5, 2026
Training Day 2: Friday March 6, 2026
Training Day 3: Monday March 9, 2026
Training Day 4: Tuesday March 10, 2026

Prerequisites
This training is designed for developers with real-world coding experience who want to extend their software architecture knowledge. A couple of years of professional software development experience gives you the context to appreciate and apply these architectural concepts effectively.

Target audience
Perfect for software developers ready to level up, practicing architects who want formal recognition and structured knowledge, and tech leads who need to make better architectural decisions. Whether you’re aspiring to your first architecture role or already working as an architect and want to formalize your expertise, this training meets you where you are and takes you to the next level.

Learning goals
This training follows the internationally recognized CPSA-F curriculum. The iSAQB site on GitHub provides a complete list of all learning goals for this training at https://isaqb-org.github.io/curriculum-foundation/curriculum-foundation-en.html
