The UK chapter of the International Association of Software Architects (IASA) has launched a certification programme for IT architects.
The organisation aims to certify over 100 IT architects by the end of 2011, to either foundation or professional level. After completing a course and examination, a successful candidate will be recognised as a “Certified IT Architect” (CITA).
The programme commences at the end of June 2010, and will be delivered in partnership with Skills Matter, and in association with Microsoft UK.
“This is a very significant moment for IASA UK and for the UK IT architect profession as a whole. It represents the culmination of over five years effort in defining a program of education and certification for IT architects that scales world-wide,” said Matt Deacon, UK IASA Chair. “We are now in a position to offer existing IT architects a way to demonstrate their professional credibility, as well as providing aspiring IT architects with a platform to manage their careers and understand how best to progress towards professional status themselves.”
Further information is available from the IASA.
