A successful candidate has the knowledge and skills necessary to architect solutions with rigor centered around the Advanced SQL Engine and its interactions with the surrounding ecosystem. This includes system architecture concepts, information management and data governance, performance design and optimization, data integration, data security, system protection, data residency and portability, information delivery, and workload management.
Candidates who hold any Teradata 14 certification can bypass the Associate Exam and go directly to the System Architect exam. In those cases, passing the System Architect exam will earn you the System Architect certification. If you are not eligible to bypass the Associate exam, you will have to take the exam in order to earn the System Architect certification.
There is no bypass for the System Architect exam. All candidates are required to take this exam (and prerequisites) if they wish to obtain the System Architect certification.
