Your benefits
on the path to becoming a certified software architect

Our training covers the core aspects of software architecture. You learn to make architecture decisions independently, ensure their quality and evaluate the viability of different architectural approaches.

Key topics:

  • Constraints, standards & frameworks
  • Design principles and solution patterns and strategies
  • The roles of architects in teams and organisations
  • Making, documenting and communicating good architecture decisions
  • Identifying, prioritising and verifying quality requirements and goals

Through hands-on exercises in small groups and discussions you deepen the learning and prepare optimally for your role as a software architect.

Experience, knowledge
and plenty of practice

Our iSAQB Foundation Trainings are led by experienced architects who share their extensive expertise and practical experience with you.

  • Exercises and case studies for direct application of the learning
  • Deliberately stepping out of the comfort zone: try new things, make mistakes, learn from them
  • Sustainable knowledge transfer in architecture work and training

We remain available to answer your questions even after the training.

As an added bonus you receive comprehensive training materials for reference and exam preparation, plus our companion booklet for practical exam preparation. All exercises in our trainings use interactive digital Miro whiteboards (usable anonymously), which remain accessible after the training.

In our trainings we make intensive use of Miro boards to create an interactive and collaborative learning environment. Miro is a versatile digital whiteboard that enables real-time collaboration, idea visualisation and clear presentation of complex topics - without any registration required. All Miro boards created during the training remain available as digital resources you can access after the course to revisit and deepen what you've learned.

For our online trainings we use Zoom. Zoom allows us to deliver powerful presentations while also promoting interactive participation. The platform also provides reliable video and audio connections, which is essential to ensure a smooth and engaging learning experience.

The exam lasts 75 minutes and consists of multiple-choice questions.

When registering multiple participants we offer a 50 % discount from the second participant onwards.

Yes, after the training you will receive an official certificate of attendance.

Yes, we ask you to keep your camera on during the training. This allows us not only to see that you are actively participating, but also fosters an environment of respect and appreciation among all participants. Having your camera on makes communication easier and makes the exchange more personal, similar to a real classroom.

5-12 participants is optimal for discussions and exercises to work effectively. If you only have 1 to 4 participants, it's usually more cost-effective to book one of our public courses via socreatory.

Yes, the training can be delivered on-site, remotely or in a hybrid format.

We have developed exercises for several industries. Feel free to ask us whether your industry is included.

The team develops a shared architecture understanding, discusses its own architecture questions from real projects, and transfers the content directly into day-to-day work.
