CPSA-F - Foundation Level Training

The Foundation Level Certification (CPSA-F) gives you the knowledge and skills necessary for successful design and documentation of software architectures. The aim of the training is that software architectures can be used by software architects as a basis or template for implementations.

The CPSA Foundation Level certification is a valuable seal of quality that is an internationally recognized training standard in software architecture. The certification includes many benefits for the professional development of the participants.

Today, software systems are becoming increasingly complex and the demands on IT solutions are increasing among producers and users. The cost and time pressure on software projects is also increasing, while at the same time the complexity in the environment is increasing. The smart software architectures are therefore an important success factor. As a practicing software architect or advanced developer, you need to be familiar with the basics.

Online and Onsite Options

We are here for "you", that means we are fully adjustable according to your needs.
Our training courses are offered online and on-site courses. There is also the option for in-house training. So you can conveniently choose what works best for you.

Learning Process

Our 3-day Certified Professional for Software Architecture Foundation Level  training is highly interactive and provides you with practical, intense and definitely a  pragmatic introduction to software architecture. The focus is on a systematic and methodical process of architecture design and architecture assessment. 

You will learn the methodological tools of successful architects. We ensure through a guided course preparation that the participants so you can concentrate mainly on individual and practical situations during the course days.

Our CPSA-F success rate is 98.8% of all course participants. These course participants have successfully completed the CPSA-F Certification Exam after attending a course with us. We prepare you as good as possible for the certification exam!

Contents of the CPSA-F Training

"Certified Professional for Software Architecture - Foundation Level" will teach you: 

  • Terms and concepts of software architectures 
  • Tasks and responsibilities of software architects
  • The role of software architects within projects
  • State-of-the-art methods and techniques for the development of software architectures.
     

The abilities you will gain are:

  • You will be coordinated with project participants in the areas like project management, requirements management, testing, and development
  • You will understand documentation and communication of software architectures based on views, architecture patterns and technical concepts.
  • You get a deep understanding of the exact implementation of all steps for the design of the software architectures.

CPSA Foundation Level Course in Detail

The curriculum consists of five strongly interrelated parts – based upon solid and proven terminology. a (free!) glossary will also be provided. about 40 different learning objectives structure the required skills and knowledge of software architecture in a practical and pragmatic way.

Part 1

Basics of Software Architecture, Role and Task of Software Architects

  • This part of the curriculum facilitates a shared understanding of our subject by defining and explaining fundamental concepts – the what and why of software architecture. You will learn about agreed definitions of software architecture, your goals and benefits. There is no silver bullet or one single approach that solves all possible problems - because decisions will always depend on various influencing factors.
  • In addition, this part explains the role of architects and architecture within the entire life cycle of software systems. It focuses on the key roles and responsibilities of software architects in collaboration and cooperation with other stakeholders such as management, business, development teams, and others.
  • When it comes to the role, you need to consider the size and complexity of the system, organizational factors, team composition, and other restrictions. Knowing the pros and cons of these options can help you find a suitable setup for your teams and projects.

Part 2

Architecture Design Approaches

  • Architectural work should always start with an appropriately clear understanding of both the functional and qualitative requirements - and the curriculum addresses these along with limitations and other influencing factors.
  • Designing systems is an extremely creative (and sometimes difficult) endeavor—supported by multiple architectural approaches, methodologies, patterns, and principles. In this part of your architecture education, you will learn about several of these approaches, e.g. B. view-based, incremental development, bottom-up and top-down approaches, domain-driven design and evolutionary architecture. Most approaches require intensive feedback and therefore fit perfectly with modern and iterative development and management approaches

Part 3

Architectural Communication

  • Since you need to interact with a variety of different stakeholders (see the figure below for some examples), it is crucial to learn how to effectively and efficiently communicate their architecture, structures, concepts, and decisions.
  • You will learn how to use architectural views (such as context or component views) to verbally communicate and justify structural decisions. Additionally, you will learn how to apply these skills to (written) documentation - with accuracy, attention to detail, and the required time to keep the documentation up to date.

Part 4

Architecture and Quality

  • Achieving quality features and quality attributes is one of the core tasks of software architects. This part of the curriculum goes deeper into the intricacies of the term quality and explains its characteristics. You will get to know quality models such as the well-known ISO 25010 standard from a practical point of view.
  • Specifically, the clarification of quality requirements is addressed, e.g. G. by using quality scenarios. In addition, the quality analysis is treated - together with its methodical brothers, the quantitative approaches to the analysis and evaluation of software architectures.

Part 5

Practical examples of software architectures

  • Examples are the best learning tool: Architectural knowledge only becomes tangible and visible through examples. Experienced iSAQB trainers can supplement the conceptual background from the learning objectives with real situations and experiences.
  • Using examples, you will understand the relationship between requirements and the technical and architectural solution. In addition, you will be able to understand the reasons for certain architectural decisions (also known as design reasons).

What do we aim?

  • Getting to know the systematic tools of professional and successful software architects
  • Certification of Certified Professional for Software Architecture Foundation Level
  • Knowledge of how software architectures are designed and communicated
  • Being able to judge the quality of architectures
  • Networking and exchanging ideas with colleague

CPSA-F Exam and Certificate

At the end of the training you will have an exam for certification. The exam is carried by an international accreditation authority. If you pass the exam, you will receive the certificate directly from the certification agency.
