LZA SOA Boot Camp (Public Course)

Licensed ZapThink Architect (LZA) Boot Camp - Instructor-Led Certification Course

Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is clearly returning significant and tangible benefits to those who know how to implement the architectural approach properly. If you are an end-user architecture practitioner, a consultant, or even a vendor with a professional services practice, saying that you "know how to do SOA" is simply not enough.

Smart organisations want to know what specific skills, capabilities, and credentials you have as a qualified architect. This is where the LZA program comes in. During this course, ZapThink will not only qualify and certify you, but will also prominently publish your credentials in their online LZA directory as evidence of your certification.

This is a four-day instructor-led course presented with exercises and concluded with a final exam.
