Foundation 101/102 IASA Training will be hosted at Magenic Technologies on October 4th through October 8th.
The foundations coursework and certification expose candidates to the “awareness” level of the skills matrix, then takes the students through real-world application of those skills at the project level in a 4+ day series of workshops covering: a year lifecycles of business justification/selection of projects, creating the architecture, managing through delivery, and then maturing the engagement model of the architecture team.
Finally a full half-day is spent on preparation for the CITA-Foundation certification exam.

Pillar 4: Human Dynamics
Pillar 5: System Design
IASA
The IASA vision is Professionalization of IT architecture, and our model is built on proven methods that successful professions have taken historically (Doctors, Lawyers, Building Architects, etc.); our career path model and supporting education/certification come from practicing architects as a professional association, not from individuals in a back room. IASA has built a global community of over 60,000 in readership, and thousands of contributors from multiple countries, industries and specializations. From that community, we have built extensive and inclusive skills taxonomy and methods for teaching and evaluating the capabilities within the taxonomy.
