Education

The Iasa community is at the forefront in providing the most current skills training, best practices and business development strategies. Our courses and certification examinations are lead by the Iasa Board of Education, which is a volunteer, member-based board of certified architects who are responsible for setting our global curriculum, certification and education policies. The Iasa certification programmes are the first global industry certifications that are completely vendor independent. The training curriculum is built around the five pillars of IT Architecture BODY of Knowledge (ITABoK), developed by a group of professional architects from various industries with the world’s best practices. ATD is the sole authorised provider and distributor of all Iasa’s architecture training & certification programmes in Asia Pacific. Our accredited learning programmes are conducted by qualified and experienced coaches and consultants who are all Iasa certified.

Certifications

Which certification is right for you?

Iasa certifications are the first global industry architect certifications that are completely vendor independent and run only by practicing architects. Iasa provides four levels of certification which describe the major milestones in an architect’s career.

Regardless of where you are in your career Iasa Global has a certification for you. The Iasa Certification Program delineates a four-tier certification path designed to level-set architects based on a combination of criteria including education, experience and test-based examination of professional knowledge of architectural skills and management.

 

Certification highlights:

  • Written by architects – vendor agnostic
  • Knowledge and experience based
  • Multiple levels – Foundation through Professional
  • Exams deployed online and onsite
  • Multiple review board options

Continuing Education Units

CEUs (Continuing Education Units) are units that are used to quantify approved professional development activities. Iasa quantifies these units through three auditable categories: EducationContribution and Practice. Iasa credential holders are required to collect at least 80 hours of CEU’s (the equivalent of two work weeks) bi-annually on even numbered years. In combination with obtaining CEU’s, the credential holder is also required to have worked as an architect for a period of at least 16-weeks. All CEU’s can be submitted at one time or at your convenience within that period.
