Why this training?

From understanding to applying

The training prepares you specifically for the iSAQB CPSA-F exam, an internationally recognised certification in software architecture, and at the same time makes you fit for day-to-day project work. It is aimed at software developers, architects and IT professionals who want to grow their role in projects. On top, you get access to the iSAQB Software Architecture Forum with talks, events and exchange with other software architects.

Day 1

Introduction to the foundations of software architecture

Terms, roles and responsibilities of software architects, and how architecture is embedded in the development process.

Day 2

Distinguishing requirements and integrating them into the process

Capture functional requirements, quality goals and constraints, weigh them and translate them into architecture decisions.

Day 3

Designing software architectures from project requirements

Design structures, interfaces and patterns, practised on realistic project scenarios instead of slide examples.

Day 4

Technical documentation & architectural decisions

Document and communicate architecture traceably, record decisions transparently, including exam preparation.

Basic experience in software development helps. There are no specific architecture prerequisites and no formal requirements for taking part.
The exam is a multiple-choice test (75 minutes, approx. 40 questions) with an accredited certification provider, at a test centre or online with remote proctoring, in German or English. We prepare you on day four with a mock exam; the vast majority of our participants pass on the first attempt.
Four training days, all course materials, exercise material and exam preparation including a mock exam. On site, catering throughout the day is included. The certification provider's exam fee (approx. €250) is separate, we help you with registration.
The certification exam takes place separately and remotely. At the end of the training you receive a voucher that lets you book the exam flexibly on your own schedule. This lets you prepare at your own pace, independent of the training dates.
Up to 14 days before the training starts you can rebook to another date free of charge or name a colleague as a substitute. If a training is cancelled due to low enrolment, you'll be notified early and can choose between rebooking and a full refund.
We train in small groups of 4–12 participants. About half the time is active work: designing, evaluating and documenting architectures in small groups, with direct feedback from the trainers.
Identical in content: same exercises, materials and trainers. On site in Ludwigsburg you benefit from direct exchange (and catering); remote saves travel and accommodation. Both formats prepare you equally well for the exam.
As professional development, the training can often be funded through your employer or regional programmes, we provide all necessary documentation. For teams of 4–12, an in-house date is worthwhile: contact trainings@mmkdigital.io.
