What is TOGAF®?

As the name suggests, TOGAF® is an Enterprise Architecture Framework – a series of methods, guidelines and tools to design, implement, and maintain Enterprise Architecture. The TOGAF® framework was created by The Open Group, a global consortium of 700+ organisations who aim to advance business by establishing technology standards.

What is TOGAF® ADM?

The TOGAF® Architecture Development Method, known in short as ADM, sits at the core of the TOGAF® method. It is the blueprint for developing and building an Enterprise Architecture and covers key areas such as:

• Business: organisation governance, processes, and strategy,
• Data Architecture: physical and logical data and data management assets,
• Application Architecture: planning the deployment of individual applications, internal, and external relationships,
• Technology Architecture: hardware and software that support business, data, and application services, including IT infrastructure, middleware, networks, communications, standards, and more.

In addition to the ADM, this ever-evolving methodology includes tools, guidelines, and standards and can integrate with other frameworks.

What is the latest version of TOGAF®?

The latest version of TOGAF® is TOGAF® Enterprise Architecture; this is based on The TOGAF® Standard 10th Edition.

How can I become TOGAF®-certified?

You need to pass the two standard TOGAF® Enterprise Architecture Exams: Part 1 (Foundation) and Part 2 (Practitioner). These exams are challenging, which is why it’s essential to keep up-to-date with the study material. Our TOGAF® certification training course is designed to take you through both levels and the exam in just 3 days.

If you've achieved certification for the TOGAF® Enterprise Architecture Foundation or passed the Part 1 section of the Combined Part 1 and Part 2 exam, you only need to take the TOGAF Enterprise Architecture Part 2 examination.

If you've achieved the TOGAF® 9 certification, you can become certified through the bridge learning path.

Who should take the TOGAF® Enterprise Architecture course?

This certification is designed for professionals who are involved in the development, implementation, and management of Enterprise Architecture, particularly for aligning IT strategies with business goals.
