OVERVIEWThe Next-Gen IT Academy from Arcitura is dedicated to providing an ever-growing variety of training courses and accreditations in contemporary technologies and fields of practice within the IT industry. Important and modern innovations that are redefining the IT landscape and that have reached a sufficient state of maturity are researched and documented into sets of courses that form the basis for formal certifications.
The Next-Gen IT Academy is a broad program that covers a range of diverse topic areas focused on next-generation information technology innovations, such as DevOps, Blockchain, the Internet of Things (IoT), Containerization, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. For each topic area covered within the Next-Gen IT Academy, a set of three courses is developed. These courses can be taken purely for training purposes or they can also be taken for exam preparation purposes. For each topic area covered there is a single final exam. Attaining a passing grade on this exam achieves a specialist certification that is automatically issued by Arcitura.
The Next-Gen IT Academy will continue to introduce courses and certifications for new topic areas throughout the coming years.

The Next-Gen IT Academy from Arcitura offers a specialist certification for each topic area in the curriculum. The specialist certification is achieved by passing a single exam. Honors certifications are issued to those who achieve a grade that is 10 percentage points above the passing grade for a given exam.
There are different options available to prepare for an exam. As shown below, each exam is associated with three one-day course modules. The courses can be completed by obtaining eLearning and full-color printed study kits from the Arcitura on-line store (www.arcitura.com/store). Alternatively, the courses can be completed via on-site and virtual workshops.
Both private and public workshops may be available. Private workshops are delivered by Certified Trainers on-site at your location and can include on-site exam delivery. Public workshops are open for public registrations and are also delivered by Certified Trainers. For private workshops that include the delivery of the exam on-site, the certification track can be completed and the attainment of the certification can be achieved upon completion of the workshop.
