€250.00 (p.p., plus VAT) 
Description
An appropriate software architecture is fundamental for the long-term success of a product! In this training, participants learn how to establish effective architecture work in their development projects. They learn how architecture is created iteratively and sustainably – from analyzing architecturally significant requirements to architecture design guided by principles and patterns. Participants learn how to document, communicate and evaluate an architecture in a lightweight manner.
The training imparts these skills through a lively mix of teaching the necessary basic knowledge and directly applying them in practice with a consistent case study.
The training is based on the iSAQB CPSA Foundation Level curriculum and is accredited by iSAQB. Participants will be prepared for the iSAQB Certified Professional for Software Architecture – Foundation Level certification exam.
Remarks:
- Following the training, participants can take the iSAQB CPSA-F certification exam. The certification exam incurs an additional fee of €250 plus VAT. The certification exam can be booked directly with the training registration.
 
- The training price includes the book “Software Architecture Fundamentals” by M. Gharbi, A. Koschel, A. Rausch and H. Tiemeyer (eBook for online training, printed book and eBook for in-person training).
