Certifications That Prove
What You Can Do.
Not What You Memorized.

Every PraxiRun certification is earned by building — not answering multiple choice questions. You design architectures under timed, proctored conditions. The simulation judges whether it works. You get a QR-verified credential that shows your actual score.

5 Certification Tracks

Each track is a series of graded simulations culminating in a proctored final exam.

PCCA

PraxiRun Certified Cloud Architect

Design highly available, multi-region cloud architectures. Scenarios cover auto-scaling, CDN, database sharding, and disaster recovery across major cloud providers.

PCSA

PraxiRun Certified Security Architect

Defend architectures against prompt injection, DDoS, credential theft, and data exfiltration. Demonstrate correct placement of WAFs, sanitizers, and encryption layers.

PCEA

PraxiRun Certified Enterprise Architect

Integrate legacy ERP systems, SAP, and mainframes with modern cloud-native services. Design DLQ patterns, event-driven pipelines, and hybrid connectivity.

PCAA

PraxiRun Certified AI Architect

Build multi-agent AI systems with RAG pipelines, confidence routing, guardrails, and token budget governance. Simulate and defend against hallucination cascades.

PCGA

PraxiRun Certified Governance Architect

Design compliance-ready architectures for regulated industries. Scenarios cover audit logging, data residency, policy enforcement, and breach containment.

What Makes It Different

🏗️

You Build — Not Answer

Every exam question is a simulation. You drag components, wire connections, and watch the system run. The score reflects whether the architecture actually works.

📐

6-Dimension Scoring

Architecture quality, scalability, failure handling, security, governance, and cost efficiency — scored separately so you know exactly where you are strong and where you need work.

🧬

Behavioral Analysis

Every click, placement, and reversal is logged. Your credential includes a behavioral summary: decision speed, exploration pattern, and reasoning quality.

QR-Verified Credentials

Any employer can scan your credential QR code and see your raw simulation scores — not just a pass/fail badge. Scores don't expire, they're timestamped.

For Employers

Hire architects with verified simulation scores, not resume keywords. Every credential links to the full session replay and score breakdown.

  • Filter candidates by track, score tier (Gold / Silver / Bronze), and specific dimension scores
  • View full session replay — watch how a candidate debugged a cascading failure under time pressure
  • Request a fresh exam anytime to verify skills haven't degraded
  • Compare candidates on identical scenario sets for objective hiring decisions
  • API access to credential verification for ATS and HRIS integrations
