TOGAF® – EA Foundation and Practitioner


Throughout our course, students also work in cohorts on a case study (Learning Studies) to begin to learn how to apply TOGAF® EA concepts in real-world situations. Our presenters, who are themselves highly experienced practitioners, add valuable insights during these exercises and can pass-on their practical wisdom. Upon passing their exams and receiving their TOGAF® Enterprise Architecture Foundation and TOGAF® Enterprise Architecture Practitioner certifications, our students are eligible to be awarded an Applied TOGAF® Enterprise Architecture Practitioner badge Issued by The Open Group.

Our intensive program combines the competencies of TOGAF® Enterprise Architecture Foundation with the TOGAF® Enterprise Architect Practitioner. Whilst working towards becoming TOGAF® Standard, 10th Edition certified, this course will provide you with clear guidance on how to develop transformative enterprise architecture.

The significant themes for the TOGAF® Standard, 10th Edition

The TOGAF® standard, 10th Edition is a paradigm shift from 9.2 integrating universal concepts, proven best practices and emerging ideas.

From Monolith to Micro Services:
As part of The Open Group’s evolution ‘from universal to unique’ the one monolithic document 9.2 has become six separate documents known as the Fundamental Content (the universal concepts). Also included are 20 series guides, which will grow over time, for specialist content (best practice) . This speaks to specific types of architecture, for example Applying the TOGAF® ADM using Agile Sprints or Integrating Risk and Security within a TOGAF® Architecture. Finally, the introduction of bodies of knowledge (BOK) for different learning outcomes including Enterprise Architecture, Business Architecture, Specialist, Leader. It is noted that more will follow to enable differing learning pathways.

Easier Adoption:
An online digital standard has been introduced with a much-simplified navigation. This paves the way for easier adoption. As each enterprise is unique, the specialist guidance may or may not apply. For example, you may be undergoing a significant digital transformation but not be using Agile. Use the distinct hierarchy of content that fits with your unique enterprise.

Extended Guidance for Practitioners, Leaders and Specialists:
The companion guides talk to the various roles within Enterprise Architecture. How do I set up an EA Practice? How do I apply Business Architecture? What reference models should I use? What security architecture should I apply? The Whole Enterprise Approach is the sum of its equal parts.

Learning Pathways:
Several learning pathways exist that focus on a group of learners and their respective skills set. Micro credentials can be earned in line with career progression including Foundation, Practitioner, Specialist and other credentials such as Leader, Agile Specialist, Digital Specialist.
