The International Software Architecture Qualification Board (iSAQB®) is an association of leading experts from industry, consulting firms, and educational thought leaders. As a non-profit organization, the iSAQB develops technological standards and certifications in the field of software architecture. The main goal of the iSAQB is to standardize and continuously improve the education and training of software architects internationally.

As holder of the international certification system Certified Professional for Software Architecture (CPSA®), the iSAQB itself does not conduct any training courses or examinations. It does, however, establish training and examination regulations, accredits training organizations as well as independent certification bodies and defines the necessary processes.

Ever since the iSAQB was founded, more than 40,000 CPSA® certified professionals worldwide have successfully completed at least one of the two CPSA® levels – the Foundation Level (CPSA‑F®) and the Advanced Level (CPSA‑A®). Over 190 members and member companies are part of the iSAQB. They promote the work of the board or actively participate in the working groups of the association.
