TRAINING & CERTIFICATION

There are two SOA Professional tracks. One is comprised of SOACP Modules 1 and 2 and
the other is comprised of SOACP Modules 1 and 3. The outlines for these courses are
provided in the upcoming pages. Completion of either set of courses as part of a virtual
or on-site workshop results in each participant receiving an official digital Certificate of
Completion, as well as a digital Training Badge from Acclaim/Credly.
A Certified SOA Professional has a proven understanding of the fundamentals of services,
microservices, APIs and service-oriented architecture, as well as common technologies
and business considerations. Depending on the exam format chosen, attaining the SOA
Professional Certification can require passing a single exam or multiple exams. Those
who achieve this certification receive an official digital Certificate of Excellence, as well
as a digital Certification Badge from Acclaim/Credly with an account that supports the
online verification of certification status.
