The IoT Architect track is comprised of three modules that develop skills in Internet of Things (IoT) technology and architecture, along with proficiency in radio protocols, telemetry messaging and IoT architecture layers. The final course module consists of a series of lab exercises that require participants to apply their knowledge of the preceding courses in order to fulfill project requirements and solve real world problems. Completion of these courses as part of a virtual or on-site workshop results in each participant receiving an official Digital Certificate of Completion, as well as a Digital Training Badge from Acclaim/Credly.
To achieve the IoT Architect Certification, Exam IOT90.01 must be completed with a passing grade. A Certified IoT Architect understands the business value behind the utilization of the Internet of Things, and has demonstrated proficiency in the design of IoT devices and solutions with scalable connectivity and based on a range of functional distribution models, including models based on edge computing. Those who achieve this certification receive an official Digital Certificate of Excellence, as well as a Digital Certification Badge from Acclaim/Credly, with an account that supports the online verification of certification status.

- Message Bookkeeping, Multimode Communication
- Network-Based Positioning and Triangulation
Module 3: IoT Technology & Architecture Lab
This module presents participants with a series of exercises and problems that are designed to test their ability to apply their knowledge of topics covered in previous courses. Completing this lab will help highlight areas that require further attention and will help prove hands-on proficiency in IoT concepts, technologies, architecture models and devices, as they are applied and combined to solve real-world problems.
The Certified Trainer works closely with participants to ensure that all exercises are carried out completely and accurately. Attendees can voluntarily have exercises reviewed and graded as part of the class completion.
