Who it's for
If one of these four describes your work, you are in the right room.
- You design systems and are weighing an alternative to OO.
- You model a domain and want the knowledge to become code directly.
- You program functionally and now own the design decisions.
- You decide the language and runtime environment for a project.
Prerequisites
Recommended- Programming:
A grounding in functional programming
- Modelling:
Experience modelling architectures
- Helpful:
Algebra basics make a few of the concepts easier
- Certification:
None is among the curriculum's prerequisites, so CPSA-F is not needed to attend

Questions before you book.
Credit points and certificate
The Albion FUNAR 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 FUNAR course carries 30 credit points: 20 for technical competence, 10 for methodical and none for communicative. That is the split the iSAQB FUNAR curriculum 2023.1 sets.
The Albion FUNAR course ends with the Albion certificate of participation, from 80% attendance and with a public verification page. No exam is involved.
The course
You do not need CPSA-F for the Albion FUNAR course: the iSAQB FUNAR curriculum asks for functional programming basics and modelling experience, not for a certification. A passed Foundation exam is required for the CPSA-A certification.
The iSAQB FUNAR curriculum prescribes no programming language; it names Haskell and Racket as particularly suitable. Choosing a functional language is a learning goal of its own in the Albion FUNAR course.
Object-oriented experience is not a prerequisite for the Albion FUNAR course. The iSAQB curriculum does contrast functional with object-oriented architecture, and it assumes most participants know OO.
The Albion FUNAR course follows the same programme online and on site.
Booking and price
A booking for several seats on the Albion FUNAR course receives a group discount. The date row and checkout show whether it applies and the minimum number of seats.
