CPSA® Certifications at actIT – Your path to an internationally recognized software architecture qualification

Companies across nearly all industries rely on iSAQB-accredited training programs from leading providers such as actIT to further develop entire project teams as well as individual employees in the field of software architecture. Worldwide, more than 20,000 professionals have successfully completed a certification from the CPSA® Program, demonstrating their expertise. The CPSA® Program consists of the CPSA Foundation Level (CPSA‑F®) and the advanced CPSA Advanced Level (CPSA‑A®). The CPSA Expert Level (CPSA‑E®), the highest certification level, is currently in preparation.

These certifications are not formal professional degrees, but rather internationally recognized proof of skills and expertise in software architecture, making them a valuable qualification in modern IT projects.

Fundamentals of Software Architecture (CPSA Foundation Level)

The CPSA Foundation Level is the ideal introduction to the world of software architecture. In our 3- to 4-day training accredited by the iSAQB, we provide you with solid knowledge and practical methods to successfully plan, document, and evaluate software architectures. You will learn the professional terminology and receive practical tools to ensure quality assurance for small to medium-sized IT systems.

After the training, you will complete a multiple-choice exam to obtain the internationally recognized Certified Professional for Software Architecture – Foundation Level (CPSA‑F®) certificate.

Advanced Competencies in Software Architecture (CPSA Advanced Level)

The Advanced Level is the second certification stage of the iSAQB CPSA program and provides in-depth professional development in the field of software architecture. It includes 17 specialized training modules across the competency areas of methodology, technology, and communication. This wide range allows you to build targeted expertise in key areas such as architecture evaluation, cloud infrastructures, Domain-Driven Design, as well as essential soft skills and web architectures.

With each training attended, participants earn Credit Points (CP) from the three competency areas. After accumulating at least 70 Credit Points, you qualify for the CPSA-A certification exam, which is typically achieved after participating in three trainings.

To obtain the Certified Professional for Software Architecture – Advanced Level (CPSA-A®) certificate, you must submit a written assignment (similar to an academic paper) after earning the required Credit Points.
