iSAQB® GREEN - Advanced Level Certification

The iSAQB Advanced Level GREEN module teaches how to design IT systems with a focus on energy efficiency and CO₂ reduction. The course covers modern cloud-native technologies and the impact of software architectures on sustainability. Participants will learn how to develop applications that are scalable, energy-efficient, and resilient to environmental changes. Topics include cloud infrastructures, Green IT patterns, energy-saving algorithms, and best practices for handling distributed systems in a resource-efficient manner.

The course emphasizes sustainable software design principles and strategies for improving energy efficiency in IT operations.

Participants will explore essential methods for energy-saving architecture design, cloud technologies, and data management. The course covers:

• CO₂ optimization: Understanding carbon footprints and how to reduce emissions in IT environments.
• Cloud-native architectures: Learn how to deploy and manage cloud applications with minimal energy consumption.
• Green IT patterns: Techniques and best practices for optimizing the energy efficiency of software systems.
• Measuring tools: Methods to assess and monitor energy consumption in software and hardware.

This hands-on training gives participants practical experience in building energy-efficient systems and managing their impact on the environment.

The goal of the iSAQB GREEN course is to equip participants with the knowledge to create sustainable and energy-efficient IT systems. By the end of the training, participants will understand the key drivers of energy consumption in software and know how to design architectures that minimize environmental impact. They will be capable of leading teams in implementing CO₂-saving strategies and integrating energy efficiency into everyday development processes.

Graduates of this module will:

• Be able to design scalable, sustainable software architectures.
• Take technical responsibility for projects with high environmental impact.
• Implement measures to reduce energy consumption and CO₂ emissions.

The iSAQB GREEN module is accredited by iSAQB and contributes towards the Advanced Level certification (CPSA-A). After completing the 3-day course, participants earn 20 credit points – 10 technical and 10 methodical. A comprehensive project-based assignment follows the course, with evaluation done by iSAQB experts.
