Pega System Architect Version & Certification

Good afternoon!

I have 3 years of experience working on Pega applications as a Pega System Architect. After taking a career break to focus on family responsibilities, I am now planning to return to the workforce. Could anyone please recommend which Pega Academy version or courses would be best to gain hands-on experience, prepare for certification, and improve my chances of securing a job?

Thank you.

Hi Vijay, welcome back to the Pega ecosystem! We missed you :wink:

I recommend:

  1. What’s new in Pega Platform 25.1: Pega - Sign In

2. Pega Gen AI in the Pega Platform: Pega GenAI in Pega Platform | Pega Academy

or AI enhancements in the Pega platform Pega - Sign In

3.Pega Infinity Release update overview: Pega - Sign In

4.System architecture: System Architect | Pega Academy

With the above academy courses, a practice environment is provides which gives you the opportunity to play around with it and learn.

Good luck!

Every few months, the Pega Academy courses are refreshed to reflect the latest technologies and best practices. Naturally, AI is a major focus, as it can be leveraged across the entire lifecycle—from designing and building more efficiently to working smarter overall.

The first three courses highlight these latest advancements. The System Architect (Infinity 25) course, in particular, emphasises on hands-on, build-oriented experience. For Pega System Architects, earning the most recent System Architecture certification is always a smart investment to stay current and relevant.

Thank you for the insightful response! It’s great to know that the latest System Architect course is more hands-on and aligned with current trends like AI. This really helps me plan my learning path. I truly appreciate your guidance!
