The SABSA Institute education and training programme is based on a competency framework comprising a set of knowledge elements, each one expanded to the six cognitive levels of Bloom’s taxonomy. The Foundation courses cover all the SABSA knowledge elements at cognitive levels 1 (Knowledge) and 2 (Comprehension) – which means that having been certified at SABSA Foundation Level you have proved that you ‘know stuff’ and that you ‘understand the stuff’.

All the Advanced SABSA courses take these same knowledge elements and extend them to the next four cognitive levels: 3 (Application), 4 (Analysis), 5 (Synthesis) and 6 (Evaluation). However, each individual Advanced Course restricts the set of knowledge elements covered to those relevant to the specific knowledge domain (in the case of A3, the knowledge domain of Architecture and Design). After attending the A3 course and becoming certified, you will prove that you can apply knowledge with an in-depth understanding and analysis of SABSA, in turn allowing one to be able to evaluate and make well rounded choices.

Benefits in attending this Advanced SABSA course:

• Experience in applying the SABSA Development Process to their specific organisation, sector and culture including providing security solutions to today’s burning issues and ‘hot topic’ areas.
• The skills and competence to plan, design, implement and manage a SABSA Architecture and its through-life processes.
• Customised strategies and detailed work-products to apply the SABSA Development Process at Enterprise or Solutions level, and throughout the business lifecycle.
• Customised approaches, techniques & models to integrate and align security architecture with the requirements of existing Enterprise & IT Architecture methods, standards and frameworks.
• A practical SABSA-based approach to providing secure information services that are aligned with the needs of the business.
