Part 6-Architectural Evaluations

Certification & Exam

After you complete an accredited IMPROVE training, you receive 10 credit points in the technological competence area and 20 credit points in the methodical area. These points count toward the iSAQB CPSA-A certification.

To become eligible for the full CPSA-A certification you must:

  • Already hold the CPSA-F (Foundation Level) certificate.

  • Have at least three years of full-time professional experience in IT, including participation in the design and development of at least two different IT systems.

  • Accumulate a total of at least 70 credit points across the three competence areas (Technological, Methodical, Communicative), with at least 10 credit points in each area.

After you meet those prerequisites and have accumulated enough points (including those from the IMPROVE module), you register for the CPSA-A final certification exam (which is an assignment plus an oral interview with iSAQB-appointed examiners). 

Once you pass the exam, you receive the CPSA-A certificate, confirming your advanced competence in software architecture.
