After completing this absolutely unique distance learning course and passing the necessary exam, you will receive the TOGAF 9 Foundation (Level 1) certification

What is TOGAF™?
Enterprise Architecture (EA) is increasingly used to plan, analyse, communicate and manage changes. A number of Enterprise Architecture frameworks already exist and are widely recognized, each of which has its particular (dis)advantages, and relevance for Enterprise Architecture. However, TOGAF is the only open standard method for developing an Enterprise Architecture.

TOGAF is a detailed method and a set of supporting tools for developing an Enterprise Architecture. It describes the process for acceptance, production, use and maintenance of Enterprise Architectures. TOGAF is used worldwide by numerous architects to design, evaluate, and build the right architecture for their organization.

TOGAF is the result of best practice, as gathered by The Open Group's Architecture Forum. Consequently, TOGAF's great strength is that it is non-proprietary and free to use. However, this does mean that architects need to customise and tailor TOGAF to their organization's specific needs. TOGAF has been refined over the years and the latest version published is TOGAF 9.

TOGAF is a tremendous success. Major companies worldwide have adopted and use TOGAF now as their guiding architecture framework.

Why is TOGAF certification important?
The purpose of certification to TOGAF 9 Level 1 is to provide validation that you have gained knowledge of the terminology, structure and concepts of TOGAF 9, and understand the core principles of Enterprise Architecture and TOGAF.

To ensure that TOGAF is fully understood and correctly applied within your organization, training is of great importance. The success of the Enterprise Architecture effort in your organization will dramatically increase when you use the instruments correctly and to the point. Subscribing for the TOGAF Foundation course and successfully passing the exam also results in becoming officially certified and recognized by The Open Group.
