Duration: 6 weeks (60 total hours)

Modality: Executive hands-on software architecture program, based on real-world case work

Format: Online + collaborative work among senior professionals

Certification Objective

To validate that a senior developer possesses the competencies required to operate as a Software Architect, demonstrating technical judgment, systemic analysis, and mastery of modern practices for designing, documenting, and evolving complex systems.

The certification confirms the professional’s ability to evaluate, design, and justify software architectures under technical and business constraints, articulating decisions with technical rigor and strategic clarity.

By the end of the program, participants will have:

• Designed modern architectures considering scalability, resilience, security, performance, and operational efficiency.
• Documented critical architectural decisions using ADRs and other professional artifacts.
• Integrated advanced practices in observability, performance tuning, security, and continuous system evolution.
• Produced architectural diagrams using both visual tools (draw.io) and diagrams-as-code with PlantUML, following industry-standard documentation practices.

• Analyzed real architectures from startups and large enterprises, applying sound technical judgment in diverse scenarios.

• Collaborated with other architects in the evaluation, discussion, and refinement of architectural solutions.

Program Structure

• Week 1 – Architectural role & mindset: analysis and evaluation of software architectures.

• Week 2 – Modern patterns & distributed systems: redesign and modernization of legacy applications.

• Week 3 – Critical decisions & living documentation: creation and defense of ADRs.

• Week 4 – Scalability, performance & observability: design for variable load and effective monitoring.

• Week 5 – Security & system evolution: threat mitigation, refactoring, and technical governance.
