How to Get TOGAF Certified

To get TOGAF certified you must pass the Open Group's TOGAF Certification exams. Both exams test your knowledge of TOGAF. The first exam, TOGAF 9 Foundation, is a broad knowledge test about the standard. The second exam, TOGAF Certified, tests your ability to apply the TOGAF standard in different enterprise architecture scenarios.

Everything is about knowing TOGAF. In order to learn TOGAF, you have two options for TOGAF Certification preparation:

  1. Self Study
  2. Accredited TOGAF Training

The Open Group has two TOGAF Certification examinations.

  • TOGAF 9 Foundation (Level 1) - show your knowledge of the TOGAF standard's terminology, structure, and basic concepts.

Self Study preparation TOGAF Certification

Do not read TOGAF 9.2. The TOGAF standard is long and not structured to help you pass the TOGAF certification exam.

If you are a true Do-it-Yourself type, go to the Open Group website and purchase the TOGAF Study Guide Bundle. The Study Guide bundle includes the official sample exams and the study guide.

Start with a sample exam as a diagnostic. Skip the parts of the exam you are passing. You know those parts. Find the parts of TOGAF 9.2 you are not passing in the study guide. Look at the Learning Objectives to see what they will ask you. Learn the material appropriate for the exam.

They organize the TOGAF Study Guide around the TOGAF Learning Objectives and highlight the exact passages from TOGAF 9.2 that will be on the exam. They load it with sample questions.

Faster Self-Study with video-based training

If you want acceleration, use an on-demand video-based training course. You want on-demand because following the diagnostic you will skip directly to the instruction that shores-up your understanding of TOGAF.
