iSAQB FAQs

What is iSAQB CPSA?
CPSA is iSAQB's internationally recognized certification scheme for software architecture, with Foundation, Advanced, and Expert levels.
Does iSAQB run the exams itself?
No. iSAQB sets the standards and accredits training providers and independent certification bodies; those bodies run the exams and issue results.
May I call myself Software Architect after passing?
iSAQB treats CPSA as proof of knowledge, not a vocational qualification. It recommends using Certified Professional for Software Architecture by iSAQB.
What is the difference between CPSA-F and CPSA-A?
CPSA-F is the introductory multiple-choice exam. CPSA-A is a modular advanced certification with credit points, a written assignment, and an oral defense.
Can I attend Advanced training before CPSA-F?
Yes. You can attend Advanced Level training without CPSA-F and earn credit points, but CPSA-F is required to apply for the Advanced Level exam.
What do I need for CPSA-A exam registration?
You need CPSA-F, at least three years of full-time IT experience, 70 credit points, and at least 10 credit points in each Advanced competence area.
How is the Foundation Level exam delivered?
Depending on the route, CPSA-F can be remote/online, classroom-based, public, or taken at Pearson VUE test centers.
What is CPSA-E?
CPSA-E is the highest CPSA qualification. The public criteria describe a topic-based process that requires CPSA-A.
Are CPSA certificates valid for life?
Yes. iSAQB says CPSA certifications are valid for life.
