Learn and develop software architecture systematically

The International Software Architecture Qualification Board (iSAQB®) develops vendor-neutral standards for software architecture education and professional development. Its curriculum ranges from the CPSA® Foundation Level to Advanced Level modules covering topics such as Domain-driven Design, APIs, flexible architectures, cloud infrastructure, web architecture, and the evolution of existing systems. INNOQ is a founding member of the iSAQB® and actively contributes to the standards for software architecture education. As an accredited training provider, we offer a wide range of iSAQB® courses through socreatory, taught by experienced architects and developers who bring practical project experience into the classroom.

On this page, you will find articles, podcasts, talks, and further resources on iSAQB®, software architecture, and professional development.

What makes INNOQ training different from traditional classroom training?

Our trainers are practicing software developers and software architects. They do not just teach theoretical concepts, but bring experience, patterns, and challenges from real-world projects into the classroom. This puts the focus on methods and tools that participants can apply directly in their day-to-day work.

Alongside iSAQB® courses, socreatory also offers its own training courses and workshops on current software architecture and development topics: Training

Does INNOQ offer customized training and coaching for teams?

Yes. Training and coaching can be tailored to the specific needs of an organization or team. If a topic is closely connected to an ongoing project, knowledge transfer can also happen directly within the team. INNOQ consultants can work alongside the team for a period of time, sharing methods and practical expertise through the actual systems and challenges they are working on.

How does INNOQ ensure knowledge stays within the organization after a project?

At INNOQ, knowledge transfer is not limited to individual training sessions. The goal is to enable teams to understand key decisions and continue evolving their systems independently. That is why we combine project work, coaching, and training and transfer knowledge as directly as possible within the actual working context. The result is stronger internal capability rather than long-term dependence on external support.
