Programme overview

Architect secure, reliable and scalable agentic enterprise systems

CAAA is the portfolio's flagship technical architecture certification. It develops the ability to design agentic systems and to use agentic methods responsibly in enterprise and technology architecture work. Learners progress from individual agents to orchestrated systems, enterprise integration, trust controls, observability and operating models.

Who should enrol

  • Solution, software, cloud, data and enterprise architects.
  • Senior developers, technical leads and AI engineering professionals.
  • Technology consultants and digital transformation specialists.

Learning outcomes

On completing CAAA, you will be able to:

  • Create architecture views that separate intent/experience, orchestration, enterprise capability and trust/control/observability concerns.
  • Select appropriate agent patterns, tools, memory/context strategies and human approval gates.
  • Design integrations with APIs, data platforms, enterprise applications and identity systems.
  • Specify security, privacy, governance, resilience and evaluation controls.
  • Estimate performance, cost, latency, operational risk and value measures.
  • Define release, monitoring, incident response and continuous-improvement practices.
  • Present a defensible Agentic Enterprise Blueprint to technical and business stakeholders.
Capstone & assessment

Certification is earned with evidence

Your CAAA credential is based on assessed practical work and a capstone — not attendance alone.

Capstone

Agentic Enterprise Blueprint

Each participant or team selects an industry and produces a coherent architecture package containing:

  • Business problem, stakeholders, current-state workflow and measurable target outcomes.
  • Use-case prioritisation and explicit boundaries for permitted autonomy.
  • Logical architecture, agent responsibilities, orchestration and enterprise integrations.
  • Data flow, identity/access model, threat model, privacy and governance controls.
  • Evaluation strategy, operational metrics, monitoring and incident/escalation design.
  • Cost/value assumptions, implementation phases, dependencies and adoption plan.
  • Demonstration or proof-of-concept where feasible, plus a technical and executive presentation.

  • Assessment weighting (indicative)

  • Architecture knowledge and case analysis15%
  • Design studios and weekly artefacts25%
  • Security, governance and evaluation review20%
  • Capstone blueprint and oral defence40%
  • Final rubrics, pass marks and reassessment rules are published in the batch handbook.

Certification requirements

  • Defend trade-offs and failure handling in an oral architecture defence — not merely present a diagram.
  • The final rubric assesses technical coherence, safety, integration feasibility, measurable value and operational readiness.

What we expect from learners

  • Attend scheduled learning sessions and complete the required practical work.
  • Use only authorised tools, datasets and accounts; do not upload confidential or personal data to unapproved services.
  • Document assumptions, sources, test results, limitations and human approval points.
  • Disclose AI assistance in submitted work where required and ensure that final submissions demonstrate your own understanding.

Teaching Agentic AI? The FDP — The Agentic Enterprise Revolution — is a parallel faculty enablement programme. It is not a prerequisite for the four certifications, and faculty participation does not automatically confer CAAP, CAAD, CAAA or CCAO certification; each credential requires its own assessment.
