Questions before you book.
Credit points and certificate
The Albion ADOC 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 ADOC course earns 20 credit points, all of them methodical competence. Technical and communicative competence are both zero in the iSAQB curriculum 2025.1, so those come from other Advanced modules.
For the Albion ADOC course you receive the Albion certificate of participation from 80% attendance, with a public verification page. It does not depend on any exam; ADOC has none.
The course
You do not need a CPSA-F certification for the Albion ADOC course. The iSAQB curriculum expects the fundamentals taught there; a passed Foundation exam is required only for admission to the CPSA-A certification.
In the Albion ADOC course, you select documentation tools and a suitable tool chain. The curriculum covers wikis, modelling tools, version control and Docs-as-Code.
Yes, the iSAQB curriculum 2025.1 brings GenAI into the Albion ADOC course: generating documentation from code, comparing documentation against the source, answering questions about existing documentation. You validate the results.
The Albion ADOC course follows the same programme online and on site.
Booking and price
Albion applies a group discount for several seats in one ADOC booking. Whether it applies to a date, and from how many seats, is shown on the date's row and at checkout.
