I need to extend my TOGAF exam voucher, can EA Learning help me?

Unfortunately, at EA Learning, we don’t control the exam vouchers or expiry dates as they are governed by The Open Group and Pearson VUE. Generally, voucher expiration dates cannot be extended as they come with a 12 month validation period. In some circumstances, the Open Group can issue a 3 month extension to your voucher for an administrative fee. You can contact the Open Group via email, togaf-cert-admin@opengroup.org, to request an extension.

I need to cancel my registration or defer my training to a later date, is this possible?

Yes, if you advise EA Learning more than 4 weeks before the start of the course you will be able to cancel or defer your training. Up to 1 week, prior to the scheduled course date, you may nominate a substitute attendee; otherwise, cancellation will result in the forfeit of payments due. Full details of our Terms and Conditions of bookings are available here.

Is there a certification with the Applied Business Architecture course?

There is no formal certification with this course. The course content is based largely on the methodology we have developed in our Consulting line of business and as such, does not have a formally recognised industry certification. If you are an IIBA member, you are eligible to claim 30 hours of PDU or CDUs by attending this course. All attendees receive an attendance certificate at the end of the course.

Do I need to have taken TOGAF training before I attend the Applied Business Architecture course?

No – the Applied Business Architecture course does not require TOGAF as a pre-requisite to attendance. The Applied Business Architecture course is aligned to TOGAF but does not require a detailed understanding of TOGAF from attendees. If you are going to attend both courses as part of your professional development plan, then we would recommend attending TOGAF first and then Applied Business Architecture.
