SEI Software Architecture Professional Certificate
Build the Capability to Architect Effectively
Software architecture is the primary carrier of system qualities, such as performance, modifiability, and security. Architecture helps ensure that a design approach will yield an acceptable system and holds the key to maintenance and sustainment efforts. In short, architecture is the glue that holds every phase of a project together. To realize these benefits, you need to build the capability to architect effectively. The SEI offers the Software Architecture Professional Certificate to equip software professionals with state-of-the-art practices for designing, analyzing, documenting, and implementing software architectures.
This and other SEI certificate programs in software architecture are based on decades of experience with software-intensive systems and supported by four widely acclaimed practitioner books in the SEI Addison-Wesley Series.
Benefits of the SEI Software Architecture Professional Certificate
The courses required for this certificate supply breadth and depth in software architecture concepts and practices, including
- introduction to software architecture fundamentals
producing a comprehensive documentation package for a software architecture
techniques for effectively designing and analyzing a software architecture
All courses in the sequence are "platform agnostic," so they apply to software architectures in general without favoring any specific implementation platform, tool, or product.
Upon completing the certificate requirements, participants may choose to be listed on the SEI website as SEI Certificate Holders.
