UML in Enterprise Architect (EA) Training in Dublin, Ireland

This course provides hands-on training in Unified Modeling Language (UML) using Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect (EA). Participants will learn to model requirements, business processes, system architecture, and software design with UML diagrams. The course combines UML theory with practical exercises in EA, enabling participants to design and document software and enterprise systems effectively.
