Frequently Asked Questions

How does the socreatory module kit work?

The socreatory module kit shows you in real time how many credit points your chosen combination of CPSA®-Advanced modules earns, broken down by technology, methodology, and communication. You can combine the modules freely, allowing you to see immediately whether you have already met the minimum requirements for the certification exam.

How many credit points are required for the CPSA®-Advanced certification?

To achieve the CPSA®-Advanced certification, you need a total of at least 70 credit points, with a minimum of 10 points required in each of the three competence areas: Technology, Methodology, and Communication.

Can I earn all my credit points in a single training session?

No. Since a single training course at socreatory awards a maximum of 30 credit points, most participants combine several CPSA® Advanced modules from different competency areas to reach the required 70 points.

Can I freely combine modules from different areas of expertise?

Yes. The socreatory module kit allows you to freely combine all CPSA®-Advanced modules, regardless of whether they award points in technology, methodology, or communication.

Which CPSA® Advanced modules does socreatory offer through its modular system?

The socreatory module kit consists of the modules AGILA, API, ARCEVAL, AGENTA, DDD, IMPROVE, FLEX, GREEN, CLOUDINFRA, ADOC, SOFT, SWARC4AI, WEB, and WEBSEC, each with varying point allocations across technology, methodology, and communication.

What if I'm not sure which modules to choose?

socreatory provides recommendations within its modular system based on the expertise of its own trainers. If you prefer to have your questions answered personally, you can reach out via email at info@socreatory.com or attend the regular exam preparation workshop hosted by trainer Gerrit Beine.

Do collected credit points ever expire?

No. According to socreatory, credit points earned in a CPSA® Advanced module remain valid indefinitely.

Does socreatory also offer training sessions without credit points?

Yes. In addition to the CPSA® Advanced modules, socreatory offers further training courses that do not award iSAQB® points but provide additional practical knowledge.
