ABOUT COURSES & CERTIFICATIONS
What’s an Arcitura Course?
- Every Arcitura course is comprised of multiple course modules (which is why they are sometimes referred to as Multi-Module Courses).
- Some courses are standalone and have no prerequisites, while other, more advanced courses do have prerequisite courses that should be completed first.
- Each course has its own description page which further indicates its prerequisites and the course modules it encompasses. (Here’s an example.)
- Each course is available via Online Interactive eLearning and eLearning Study Kits.
- Each course corresponds to a certification.

What are Course Modules?
Each course module covers a set of topics relevant to its overarching course or track. A module can be comprised of workbook content, video content, posters and other supplements.
There are three types of course modules:
- Fundamental Modules – Usually the first module in a course. However, some cross-topic course tracks (such as those in the Digital Transformation Professional Academy) position fundamental modules later in the track agenda.
- Advanced or Subsequent Modules – The modules that follow a fundamental module cover more advanced topics for which completion of the preceding fundamental module is a prerequisite.
- Lab Modules – This type of module usually concludes a course track and does not introduce new topics. Instead, it provides a series of case study-driven exercises that require you to solve real-world problems by applying the knowledge you gained from completing preceding fundamental and advanced modules.
Each course module is designed to be completed in approximately 10 hours of self-study or in one day of instructor-led training.

How do Professional Certifications Relate to Courses?
- Each course corresponds to a professional certification.
