A excellent business architect acts as the glue that holds diverse aspects of an organisation together and is at the forefront of business transformation and digital enhancement.
As a business architect you will act as a link between business and technology, create business blueprints and other artefacts, guide strategy to execution, and facilitate the enablement of core capabilities, value streams and an architectural knowledge base.
A business architect collaborates with senior leadership teams, enterprise architects, business strategists, product (service) owners, business analysts and technologists to provide various business architecture blueprints and insights.
To help business move from strategy to tangible outcomes, business architects need great tools and great training. When you become a Certified Business Architect (CBA®), your skills, experience and knowledge of business architecture are recognized and it also shows that you have demonstrated a high degree of competency in your chosen field that can pave the way for career advancement.

Agora Insights Ltd, a Guild Accredited Training Partner™ (GATP™), helps ensure that the knowledge and skills being developed by the business architecture community are aligned with industry standards, leading to consistent practices. To achieve this, we develop our material based on A Guide to the Business Architecture Body of Knowledge® (BIZBOK® Guide).
We recommend that you become a member with the Business Architecture Guild®. From there you will have access to their own copy of the BIZBOK® Guide, prior to starting the course. This is OPTIONAL but will assist in meeting the learning objectives. You will still be provided with additional learning materials and links to study guides.
Agora Insights is a professional training company. We created the original business architecture online course structure, materials, quiz questions, study guide, and so on. Please don't be fooled by imposters making ostentatious claims to ownership and originality.
Learners will receive a Certificate of Achievement from Agora Insights Ltd on successful completion of the course. Learner hours per module will be sent to the Business Architecture Guild®, on request, for those who want to gain CEUs.
The course consists of 26 modules which are approximately 2.5 hours each. In total it should take the average student 65 hours to complete the video material. There are practice exam questions that can take 1- 2 hours per module, depending on your understanding.
The answer is both. The whole course is "on demand" and typically drip fed so that the learner can understand module by module. Additionally we offer optional live online mentoring sessions where learners can discuss the modules with the mentor. Typically the live sessions are scheduled, recorded and topic specific. Assignments are individually marked by your instructor.
We have broken the course into modules to explain specific areas of business architecture, in one sitting. Considering the field of business architecture can be substantial, we thought it best to break it up into bite size modules. This allows you to go back and focus on a particular area if required.
You will get an Agora Insights certificate but we cannot issue you a CBA® certification. Agora Insights Ltd is a Guild Accredited Training Partner (GAPT) and helps you prepare for the exam but does not offer the CBA® exam. Application, registration and taking the CBA® exam is offered by the Business Architecture Guild® which is a separate organisation. It is at the sole discretion of, and the responsibility of, the learner to apply and complete this process. Agora Insights Ltd takes no accountability for any process being operated and managed by the Business Architecture Guild® including the application, membership and CBA® exam outcomes.
We have several pricing options to suit your needs. This includes subscription payments, payment plans and once-off discounted plans. Please contact us if you have financial hardship, so that we can review your case.
You will have access for 1 year from when you purchase the course. This includes access to the library and practice tests.
If you need more access beyond 1 year, please email us at support@agorainsights.com - we review this request on a case-by-case basis.
A strong blended-learning structure and a learner-centered strategy are essential for success. To achieve the optimum results, we offer a combination of live and asynchronous learning solutions.
Instead of "training," the live sessions are more about "mentoring." As a result, there is a stronger focus to add value based knowledge.
To discuss your unique needs and bespoke solutions, contact us for more information.
