Practical TOGAF® 9 Version 1.2


Duration
5 days
Brief Description
A practice-oriented, comprehensive course leading to TOGAF 9 Level 2 certification. Extensive coverage of Enterprise Architecture using the TOGAF framework and Architecture Development Method.
What Differentiates this Course?

• Unique organisational expertise and instructors We have been engaged in delivering Enterprise Architecture work as consultants and practitioners since 1989. Frameworks used include Zachman, TOGAF, FEAF, Gartner, Meta, Inspired, PEAF and others. We have developed unique EA capabilities, techniques and expertise. We have integrated TOGAF with other methods, including Archimate, and produced integrated meta models to provide TOGAF and Archimate capabilities within EA toolsets. We understand EA in depth, having been involved in scores of projects locally and internationally across a wide range of industries including finance, assurance, retail, telecommunications, services, healthcare, government, education, manufacturing, software, energy and media. We have developed TOGAF certified training, are registered as a TOGAF services provider and have created certified support in EA tools. Typical instructor will have over twelve years EA experience
• Case Study The comprehensive case study is based on three real world EA projects and provides delegates with a much richer appreciation for the scope and subtlety of issues in real EA projects than typical class exercises
• Hands On Delegates will do individual and team assignments to apply knowledge and experience techniques first hand. This enhances learning and provides delegates with more confidence and a faster start when returning to their organisations
• Longer Course Some courses are offered over four or even three days. We do not believe that these provide sufficient time for proper coverage of all the topics required to understand TOGAF fully or to prepare for certification properly

• Additional Coverage TOGAF is valuable and extensive, but not perfect! Our extensive expertise allows us to supplement TOGAF in key areas to make it even more effective and valuable
• High Quality Delegate Materials including electronic reference, pocket guide, self study guides for levels 1 & 2, slides and additional references

Intended Audience
This course is intended for those working as enterprise architects (business architects, process architects, application architects, information architects, technology architects, solution architects) or who intend to take up such roles. It would also benefit CIOs, application portfolio managers, I.T. strategists, senior business analysts, programme managers and those responsible for change programmes.
Course Overview
This course covers the body of knowledge required for TOGAF 9 certification at Levels 1 and 2. The course is accredited by The Open Group.
Successful delegates, after sitting the independent examination, will be registered with the Open Group as certified TOGAF 9 Architects, becoming part of a select international community. The course is about more than just certification however, as the training goes far beyond simply covering the body of knowledge from the TOGAF manual. Additional material over and above TOGAF is provided in order to put EA and modern architectures such as Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) into perspective. An in-depth case study based on real world projects shows application of techniques through a typical architecture implementation lifecycle. The 15+ practical assignments completed during the five days of training, learning from other delegates and the experience and expertise of the lecturer(s) combine to create a sound, practical, effective and compelling learning experience.
