This learner-level course introduces participants to the Open Digital Architecture (ODA) and its component-based design model developed by TM Forum. Designed as a foundational skill path, it equips learners with essential knowledge of ODA’s functional domains, core principles, and the role of standardized, interoperable components in enabling digital transformation.
By the end of the program, participants will be ready to complete the ODA Components Skill Path certification exam, gaining a recognized credential that demonstrates their readiness to contribute to modern, API-centric, cloud-native digital platforms.
