TOGAF® Enterprise Architecture COMBO (Level 1 & 2)

The TOGAF framework, an Open Group Standard, is a proven Enterprise Architecture methodology and framework used by the world’s leading organizations to improve business efficiency. It is the most prominent and reliable Enterprise Architecture standard, ensuring consistent standards, methods, and communication among Enterprise Architecture professionals. Enterprise Architecture professionals fluent in the TOGAF standard enjoy greater industry credibility, job effectiveness, and career opportunities.

The TOGAF Standard Version is an update to the TOGAF standard providing improved guidance, correcting errors, improving the document structure, and removing obsolete content. Key enhancements made in this version include updates to the Business Architecture and the Content Metamodel. All of these changes make the TOGAF framework easier to use and maintain.

The standard is divided into seven parts:

• PART I (Introduction): This part provides a high-level introduction to the key concepts of Enterprise Architecture and in particular the TOGAF standard approach. It contains the definitions of terms used throughout the TOGAF framework and release notes detailing the changes between this version and the previous version of TOGAF framework.
• PART II (Architecture Development Method): This is the core of the TOGAF framework. It describes the TOGAF Architecture Development Method (ADM) – a step-by-step approach to developing an Enterprise Architecture.
• PART III (ADM Guidelines & Techniques): This part contains a collection of guidelines and techniques available for use in applying the TOGAF standard and the TOGAF ADM.
• PART IV (Architecture Content Framework): This part describes the TOGAF content framework, including a structured metamodel for architectural artifacts, the use of re-usable architecture building blocks, and an overview of typical architecture deliverables.
• PART V (Enterprise Continuum & Tools): This part discusses appropriate taxonomies and tools to categorize and store the outputs of architecture activity within an enterprise.
• PART VI (TOGAF Reference Models): This part provides a selection of architectural reference models, which includes the TOGAF Foundation Architecture, and the Integrated Information Infrastructure Reference Model (III-RM).
• PART VII (Architecture Capability Framework): This part discusses the organization, processes, skills, roles, and responsibilities required to establish and operate an architecture function within an enterprise.

The Level 1 certification is to provide validation that the Candidate has gained knowledge of the terminology, structure, and basic concepts of the TOGAF  standard, and understands the core principles of Enterprise Architecture and the TOGAF standard. The TOGAF Level 1 certification is automatically achieved after passing the TOGAF  Level 1 exam. The TOGAF  Level 1 course provides an optimal preparation to pass the exam and, therefore, to obtain the certification. Level 1 is a prerequisite to continue with the following levels of qualification.

The Level 2  content focuses on the practical application of TOGAF framework, building on the foundational knowledge and comprehension of Part 1, using practical scenarios to enforce concepts. The TOGAF  Level 2 certification is automatically achieved after passing the TOGAF  Level 2 exam. The TOGAF Level 2 course provides an optimal preparation to pass the exam and, therefore, to obtain the certification. The Level 2 course deals with the basic principles of the methodology and looks at the components, principles and processes. The course prepares the participants for the exam TOGAF  Level 2.
