Certified SOA Architect

A Certified SOA Architect specializes in the physical design of service-oriented technology architectures and service implementations.

To be considered an expert in this field requires a solid understanding of the service-orientation design paradigm including all related design principles and the effects of their application.

Fundamental SOA concepts and terminology need to become second nature to the SOA Architect and must be further supplemented with exposure to relevant SOA technologies. The different forms of service-oriented technology must also be fully understood, including the dependencies that exist between architectural levels.

SOA-certified architects will need to be prepared for a variety of design challenges and therefore must be proficient with the use of industry design patterns and service-oriented design processes. They must furthermore have an appreciation of how service design fits into the overall SOA project delivery lifecycle and how design approaches and techniques may ultimately affect service governance.

To achieve this certification, the following courses and exams must be completed:

Module 1: Fundamental SOA & Service-Oriented Computing
Module 2: SOA Technology Concepts
Module 3: SOA Design & Architecture
Module 8: Advanced SOA Design & Architecture
Module 9: SOA Design & Architecture Lab

Note that all certification requirements and course contents are reviewed and revised quarterly to stay in alignment with industry developments.
