Course Overview
The Software Architecture course by Open Source is designed for experienced software professionals aiming to master the principles of scalable, maintainable system design. This training aligns with the iSAQB® Certified Professional for Software Architecture - Foundation Level (CPSA-F®) certification, preparing developers, technical leads, and aspiring software architects for formal accreditation. Ideal for those with at least 18 months of practical development experience, the course equips learners with foundational architectural knowledge required by over 70% of enterprise technology teams undergoing digital transformation. Emphasis is placed on object-oriented design, distributed systems, and architectural documentation using industry-standard methods like UML and the C4 model.
Participants engage with core technologies and methodologies including UML (class, component, and sequence diagrams), the C4 model for visualizing software architecture, arc42 for structured documentation, Domain-Driven Design (DDD), RESTful API design, and event-driven architectures. The hands-on lab environment uses real-world tools such as Visual Studio Code, IntelliJ, PlantUML, and Git-based workflows, allowing students to build and document complete system architectures from the ground up. A key project involves designing a modular e-commerce platform using the TimberWorks simulator, where learners implement bounded contexts, define service boundaries, and create Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) to justify technology choices and trade-offs in a realistic, production-like scenario.
This course prepares candidates for the globally recognized iSAQB CPSA-F certification, which is accredited by over 40 training providers and certification bodies across Europe and increasingly adopted in North America. Certified software architects command competitive salaries, with U.S. professionals earning an average of $150,788 annually and top-tier roles reaching $247,000 at the 75th percentile. Koenig Solutions enhances learning outcomes with Guaranteed-to-Run batches and access to official iSAQB-aligned courseware, ensuring structured, instructor-led preparation. Upon completion, graduates are positioned to advance into senior technical roles such as Principal Software Architect or Staff Engineer, driving architectural vision and innovation across complex software ecosystems.
