OverviewTo gain the Diploma in Solution Development, candidates must pass four one-hour written examinations, each of which leads to a certificate which has value in its own right. To convert their set of certificates into the Diploma, candidates then attend an interview with two ISEB examiners to confirm their technical, business and interpersonal competencies. This qualification covers SFIA skills DBDS5 & 6, DESN5 & 6, DLMG5, 6 & 7, DTAN5, NTDS5 & 6, PROG5 and TEST5 & 6. Core ModulesThere are two core modules in the Diploma, which all candidates must attain. These modules may be gained in any order. Specialist ModulesCandidates must choose one "knowledge-based" module and one "practitioner" module to complete their set of certificates. Which they choose will depend on their own background and preferences, what their organisation requires and the nature of their current roles. The available modules are: Knowledge-based:
