Why We Started the Academy

Our architecture team at SA has gained a wealth of insights through our consulting work with our diverse clients across numerous industries. These experiences have revealed that architects and heads of architecture face remarkably similar challenges, regardless of their sector. This discovery prompted us to create the SA Academy—a vibrant hub where emerging architects, experienced practitioners, and heads of architecture can connect, share knowledge, and learn essential lessons, especially those gained through challenging situations.

Our experience in the field has also shown that a significant number of architects and heads of architecture do not get access to the necessary training, mentoring and leadership support required to excel in their roles. This gap can hinder their ability to effectively transition into positions of greater responsibility and influence. To tackle this challenge, we will continuously develop and release our courses designed to enhance your skills and knowledge. These courses will empower you to become an outstanding architect or enable you to lead an exceptional architecture team with confidence and expertise.

Our vision is to provide you with the tools, techniques and expertise needed to thrive in your career and make a meaningful impact in the field of architecture.

Mastering Solution Architecture Series:

Contrary to popular belief, the Solution Architecture role extends far beyond technical expertise. While years of industry experience provide essential technical foundations, truly exceptional architects—those who lead 5 or 10 million dollars plus projects successfully—wear many hats and master diverse non-technical skills. Our courses are designed to elevate you into the top 10% of solution architects who genuinely thrive in this complex role.

At the SA Academy, our architecture team has developed every course based on real-world experience delivering client outcomes. As specialists in the architecture field, we've distilled our most valuable insights into practical learning experiences. We're confident these courses will help you discover powerful tips and techniques that will transform you into an exceptional solution architect.
