Description

APG's TOGAF 8 Certification Program is a packaging of four one-day courses for those individuals seeking to become TOGAF 8 Certified. The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF™) is the industry’s leading enterprise architecture framework based on open standards.

APG’s Blended Learning Approach involves two days of web-based tutorials (WBTs) followed by two days of instructor-led training (ILT).

APG’s Traditional Classroom Approach is a four-day instructor-led session. Students that complete the four-day ILT session will receive access to the WBTs for personal reference. Materials are the same for both approaches.

Exclusive Feature! Via integration with the APG TOGAF Process Library (ATPL), students using the WBT can view the specific topic referenced on each slide directly in the ATPL and navigate to related topics.

Participants that successfully complete all four courses will receive TOGAF 8 Certified status from The Open Group (certification fees are included course tuition). No additional examination is required for TOGAF 8 certification.
