The BEA Certification Program has three certifications: BEA Certified Developer, BEA Certified Administrator, and BEA Certified Architect.

BEA Certified Architect

The BEA Certified Architect Certification is applicable to those architects overseeing the design of enterprise applications and infrastructure that leverages BEA technologies. Architects are responsible for performing technology due diligence and trade-off analysis, designating key design and implementation guidelines, overseeing project implementation and defining implementation success criteria. An architect is capable of managing multiple and strategic enterprise wide projects, team management, selecting and evaluating new technologies, and designing new systems and integrations with legacy assets. They also have strong architectural skills and the ability to think abstractly, while focusing on the concepts of the project rather than the implementation.

The BEA Certified Architect Certification has two designations. These designations serve as areas of specialization for the participants and allow for two certification paths: one focuses on product/technology, while the other focuses on SOA Concepts, Design and Implementation.
