TOGAF 9.1 CERTIFIED (LEVEL 1 AND 2) 

The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF™) is quickly becoming the default starting point for Enterprise Architecture (EA) work within enterprise organizations across the spectrum. With a comprehensive methodology, toolset, architectural assets, content framework, and certification program, it is no wonder that enterprises are turning towards TOGAF™ for their EA framework of choice.

During the TOGAF™ training course students will become familiar with the TOGAF™ Version 9.1 Enterprise Edition body of knowledge. This course provides a comprehensive examination of the TOGAF specification, complete with a deep dive into the Architecture Development Method (ADM), ADM Guidance and Techniques, the Architecture Content Framework, Enterprise Continuum, and other core elements of TOGAF™ 9.1. Advanced topics, including architectural partitioning, iterative application of the ADM, and an examination of deliverables and how to go about tailoring the ADM will also be discussed. Upon completion of the course, students will be equipped to prepare for and pass the TOGAF™ 9.1 Certified (Level 2) certification exam from the Open Group.

All content is reinforced through group exercises, discussions, and sharing of real-world experiences by our talented subject matter experts.

Topics

After completing this course, the student should be able to:

Discuss the basic concepts of enterprise architecture and TOGAF™ 9.1.

Discuss the features of TOGAF™ and its methodology.
