Benefits to Certification
Become Proficient with Vendor-Neutral, Real-World SOA  The SOA Certified Professional program leverages years of on-going research dedicated to how SOA continues to evolve and expand throughout the IT industry. All of the course materials are tuned to represent SOA as it exists today and with no bias toward any one vendor platform, yet still in alignment with all major vendor platforms. To ensure this balanced representation, all course materials are submitted to the SOA Education Committee for a periodic review. A vendor-neutral perspective of SOA is ideal because it empowers students with a clear understanding of SOA and service-orientation, allowing them to assess products, developments, and trends in the current SOA marketplace, make educated strategic decisions, and diversify SOA offerings as required. Because this program is thoroughly vendor-neutral, it is also complementary to many of the vendor-specific courses and certifications. Students can supplement the industry-level knowledge gained by this program with specialized training based on the vendor technologies they choose to proceed with. Focus on Mature and Proven Parts of the SOA Industry While the SOA industry and marketplace continue to grow, there can be confusion as to what new developments in the industry are relevant and what technologies, techniques, and methodologies are considered mature and proven for their purpose. The SOACP program focuses on established and accepted practices, technologies and strategies, while still highlighting some of the more important trends and future considerations. Periodic revisions to the course content and exams ensure that the program remains in synch with the direction of the industry. Become a "Project Ready" SOA Professional The courses in the SOA Certified Professional program are geared toward preparing students for real-life SOA projects. Some of the more specialized certifications require the completion of lab course modules that require students to carry out extensive exercises individually and as part of groups. Other courses are furthermore supplemented with hands-on exercises, instructor-led in-class case study reading, and periodic quizzes, to ensure that key topics covered are constantly reinforced. Each one-day course module has its own exam, ensuring that as students progress into a program, they first establish and demonstrate a solid understanding of each major topic area. Final exams require that students prove the proficiency gained by the preceding training. The exam grading criteria is such that students must exhibit ˇ§project readyˇ¨ qualifications to obtain the ultimate certification. Join the SOACP Community The SOA Certified Professional program has trained students throughout the world as part of an ever-growing community of SOA professionals. Public workshops and related events provide networking opportunities and SOASchool.com is contacted regularly by recruiting agencies looking for certified students.
