Description

The REQ4ARC module shows you how to analyze, assess, and use requirements effectively in your role as a software architect.

You will learn to systematically identify, question, and prioritize functional and quality requirements and translate them into consistent architecture. The module also covers communication with stakeholders, interpreting vague or conflicting input, and handling trade-offs between competing goals.

Certification & Exam

After you complete an accredited REQ4ARC training, you receive 20 credit points in the methodical competence area and 10 credit points in the communicative 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 REQ4ARC 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.

What You Will Achieve

After the training, you will be able to

  • Assess which requirements are relevant for architectural decisions

  • Formulate and document functional and quality requirements clearly

  • Identify and engage stakeholders and clarify expectations

  • Deal with vague, conflicting, or non-prioritized requirements

  • Link requirements with architectural decisions in a structured way

  • Bridge between requirements models and architecture models effectively
