Self-Study Kit Reseller

The SOA Certified Professional (SOACP) program is dedicated to excellence in the field of SOA and service-oriented computing. Through a series of seasoned course modules and exams, IT professionals have the opportunity to obtain a number of different certifications to recognize their accomplishment of gaining project-ready SOA proficiency.

This vendor-neutral program was developed in cooperation with best-selling SOA author Thomas Erl and several major SOA organizations and academic institutions. Through the involvement of an independent education committee, course contents and certification requirements are constantly reviewed and revised to stay current with developments in the service-oriented computing industry.

How To Get Trained

There are three options to receive training:

1. On-Site Training

An instructor can travel to your location to deliver a workshop for a class of students, based on your budget and preferences. To learn more, contact us.

2. Public Workshops

Certification workshops available for public registration are held on a quarterly basis in major cities around the world. Visit the Workshops page for the latest schedule.

3. Self-Study

Self-Study Kits are available for all exams. These kits allow you to study the materials remotely and at your own pace. Each kit includes study materials, Audio Tutor CDs, a Prometric exam voucher (in the kit version with exam voucher only) and additional study aids. For more information, visit the Self-Study page.

How To Get Certified
