Описание
После получения сертификата CPSA-Foundation, следующим уровнем сертификации является iSAQB® Сертифицированный профессионал в области архитектуры программного обеспечения – Продвинутый уровень (CPSA-A). Эта продвинутая сертификация направлена на повышение квалификации специалистов по архитектуре программного обеспечения посредством комплексной модульной программы обучения. Выпускники CPSA-A обладают широким спектром навыков и глубокими знаниями в области архитектуры программного обеспечения. Для получения сертификата требуется значительное время и высокий уровень профессиональной подготовки, что гарантирует высокий уровень компетентности сертифицированных специалистов.
Программа CPSA-A состоит из гибкого учебного плана, включающего отдельные модули, каждый из которых посвящён определённым аспектам компетенций в области архитектуры ПО. Успешные участники получают кредитные баллы, которые накапливаются для получения сертификации. Сертифицированные специалисты способны самостоятельно проектировать ИТ-системы среднего и большого масштаба, а также нести ответственность за их технические и содержательные аспекты, особенно если речь идёт о системах средней и высокой критичности.
Преимущества сертификации CPSA-A
После получения сертификации специалисты CPSA-A получают ряд преимуществ:
- Наличие международно признанной сертификации, которая служит знаком качества для работодателей и клиентов.
- Повышенная способность самостоятельно и методически проектировать ИТ-системы среднего и крупного масштаба.
- Ответственность за технические и содержательные аспекты ИТ-систем средней и высокой критичности.
- Компетентность в разработке стратегий и документации, направленных на достижение нефункциональных требований.
- Умение направлять команды разработки в реализации архитектурных решений.
- Компетентность в управлении коммуникацией по вопросам архитектуры в рамках средних и крупных команд разработки.
Целевая аудитория
Сертификация CPSA-A ориентирована на специалистов, обладающих прочными знаниями в области архитектуры программного обеспечения, включая:
- Архитекторов программного обеспечения
- Разработчиков программного обеспечения
- Других ИТ-специалистов с опытом в проектировании и архитектуре программных систем
Эта сертификация особенно ценна для профессионалов, стремящихся повысить свои навыки в проектировании, реализации и управлении сложными ИТ-системами, а также в руководстве командами разработки для достижения архитектурных целей.
Требования
To obtain the iSAQB® CPSA-A certification, candidates must meet the following prerequisites:
Foundation Level Certification: Successful completion of the iSAQB® Certified Professional for Software Architecture - Foundation Level certification exam.
Professional Experience: At least three years of professional experience in the IT industry, with hands-on experience designing and developing at least two different IT systems.
Credit Points: A total of 70 credit points must be earned through participation in licensed training courses across three competence areas:
- Technical Competence (TC)
- Methodological Competence (MC)
- Communicative Competence (CC)
- At least ten credit points are required in each of these areas. Each advanced-level training module awards a pre-defined number of credit points based on its content.
