Software Architecture Foundation
The iSAQB Foundation Level training qualifies for certification as a Certified Professional for Software Architecture – Foundation Level.
While the iSAQB curriculum primarily aims at conceptual knowledge, the training specially developed by Active Group focuses on greater practical relevance and orients all content around a real case study. Additionally, the training gives participants the opportunity to contribute and have their own problem solutions and architectural ideas evaluated. This motivates the abstract requirements of software architecture and develops concrete architectural competence.
The Foundation training is available in variants of three and four days. We recommend four days - this also makes it possible in principle to take the exam at the end of the last day.
Contact us if you are interested in an in-house training.
