Feedback
on Sunil
"It
was great attending the Architecture workshop. It
was really one of the most inter-esting and intense
workshop on software architecture I have attended.
Congra- tulation for achieving it and making it available
to software community. This will enable to move up
in the ladder of Zachman model "

-
Tier I Certification - First, the participants have to complete the Architecture course. After completion of the course, the student can register for certification and take up 2 hour online test.
-
Tier II Certification - A case study is given to the participants. The participants have to develop the architecture artifacts, defining mappings and ensure that the suggested solution results in better benefits. Subsequently, the results of the case study have to be presented to the certification panel (with atleast 2 members).
Please note that qualifying in Tier I certification is mandatory before taking up the
Tier II certification.
The key steps in certification process as described below
