technical people read and build a peer group that outlasts the 5 weeks senior software architects senior software engineers principal architects principal engineers senior staff engineers engineering managers ai ml engineers technical leads frequently asked questions why should i join a peer group and not study alone or watching talks because the real work happens when you have to defend the trade offs in your own context this cohort gives you the confidential peer group and an experienced facilitator to do that work and you ll earn the infoq certification as a result how will i gain access to the online cohort sessions participants who registered for the online cohorts will receive an email with detailed instructions on how to join the sessions this email will be sent out during the week prior to the start of the cohort so be sure to check your inbox and spam folder just in case for the access information who is this cohort for this is for senior software practitioners with at least 5 years of experience who are involved in setting technical strategy what are the criteria for receiving the certification certification is awarded based on two factors consistent attendance and active participation in the live sessions and the successful completion of the group capstone project why a cohort instead of just watching the talks because the real work happens when you have to defend the trade offs in your own context this cohort gives you the confidential peer group and expert mentorship to do that work and you ll earn an infoq certification as a result is this just another course this programme assumes you already have deep technical expertise each week is structured around a real decision you are working on not a case study the focus is the skills that senior engineers find hardest to get from inside their own organisation pressure testing decisions with peers articulating tradeoffs to stakeholders and making the kind of decisions that are difficult to reverse what is the weekly time commitment each weekly session is a 4 hour deep dive workshop this is a significant time investment because we are not just watching talks we are undertaking the challenging practical work of applying these frameworks to real world challenges alongside your senior peer group what are the technical requirements for participation to ensure an optimal experience you will need a stable
