LSA Immersion Program: Lead System Architect

The LSA Immersion Program is a training program that strengthens design and architectural principles critical for building enterprise applications. The program supplements core training by exploring design thinking and architectural skills in depth. Its primary goal is to prepare participants for the Application Architect role. Participants can design robust solutions for enterprise applications and guide and mentor team members to develop strong design and implementation capabilities. Focus on tasks that a Lead System Architect performs to develop a Pega Platform™ application and prepare for the Certified Pega Lead System Architect (CPLSA) exam.

The LSA Immersion Program is a new format for LSA training that covers core design thinking and architectural concepts. It complements the LSA Pega Academy self-study course and includes instructor-led live sessions. The program accelerates readiness for the Lead System Architect (LSA) role and certification by strengthening advanced design and architecture capabilities.

Timing	The program includes 15 hours of live expert-led training. You can master enterprise application development best practices, learn key design patterns, and gain orientation on architecture and build exams.
Schedule	3 hours per day, Monday through Friday.
Pricing	A fixed fee of $500 per seat. The training price includes one Pearson VUE certification voucher valid for the current Architecture exam (CPLSA Part I). The program distributes vouchers to individuals who complete at least 80% attendance across the five-day program.
