I don't really understand what you are asking.
Can you elaborate / rephrase, or exemplify?

Ok, I see.

To be a (good) architect, you just can't take courses.

IMO, you need several years of experience as a developer/DBA/administrator.

If you wish to specialize on a specific industry, you need a honest interest in the business requirements.

That said, here's a package of training that could be of interest:

General SAS training: corresponding to the advanced certification
DI Studio: ETL is the backbone in any DW/BI/Analytical system
SAS Intelligence Platform administration
The SAS Financial Management is a quite specific solution: so any training taken here should be taken near/within a project. I haven't taken them my self, so you better talk to a SAS training representative to guide you which course(s) suits your needs: http://support.sas.com/training/us/paths/pm.html
Data Modelling: you should be comfortable with understanding, extending and map source data to a 3rd normal form database. You also need to handle dimensional models. These are not SAS specific capabilities, but there are plenty of training, books, web material available
General IT architecture: at least some basic knowledge of OS behaviour, networking, RDBMS, web applications etc

Good luck!
