Credit points and certificate
The Albion DDD course has no exam and earns CPSA-A credit points. Certification involves an assignment and an oral exam assessed by experts appointed by the iSAQB, after all admission requirements have been met.
The Albion DDD course gives 30 credit points: 20 for methodical competence, 10 for communicative and none for technical. The iSAQB DDD curriculum 2023.2 sets that split.
For the Albion DDD course you receive the Albion certificate of participation from 80% attendance, with a public verification page. It depends on attendance, not on an exam.
The course
You do not need CPSA-F for the Albion DDD course: the iSAQB states that the module can be attended independently of a CPSA-F certification. The CPSA-A certification itself does require a passed Foundation exam.
Yes, collaborative modelling is in the curriculum of the Albion DDD course: EventStorming, Domain Storytelling and User Story Mapping in overview, plus preparing and facilitating a modelling workshop.
The Albion DDD course follows the same programme online and on site.
