The British Computer Society support Enterprise and Solution Architecture by offering courses at a Foundation and Practitioner level.
At the Foundation level the emphasis is on the key concepts and the main architecture domains – business, data, applications, infrastructure, software, and security. At the Practitioner level the emphasis shifts to a more hands-on approach making use of real-world examples. This course combines these two levels and provides an opportunity for learners to work together to apply their understanding by analysing an architectural case study.
For the Foundation level there are no mandatory requirements for learners to be able to undertake this certified qualification.
For the Practitioner level it is recommended learners should have gained over six years familiarity with the IS/IT areas, which includes some contact with Architects and Architecture descriptions. Overall therefore this course is most suited to architects.
Learners will have demonstrated their knowledge and understanding of
From the Foundation perspective:
The meaning of architecture and the different levels within it
The various subdomains of enterprise architecture and their purpose
The key activities undertaken in each subdomain and the related artefacts
From the Practitioner perspective:
Real-world examples of the subject, gained partly from hands-on exercises
The concepts contained within the BCS Enterprise and Solution Architecture Reference Model, and how they might apply to a real-world enterprise and solution architectural case study.
