Frequently asked questions
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.
- Team discount: 50 % off from the second participant from your company.

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.
