TOGAF® Essentials 2018 Credential
The TOGAF Essentials 2018 Credential is obsolete
See TOGAF Enterprise Architecture Training Course for current online TOGAF training.
The Open Group's TOGAF Essentials 2018 credential is focused on detailed changes inside the standard. It shows you understand the documentation changes in between TOGAF 9.1 and TOGAF 9.2.
Who should take the TOGAF Essentials 2018 Credential?
The TOGAF Essentials Credential is mandatory for all TOGAF accredited trainers certified in the TOGAF Standard version 9.1.
For enterprise architects, we do not recommend the TOGAF Essentials 2018 credential. We recommend that enterprise architecture practitioners spend their professional development time learning how to do architecture.
The TOGAF Essentials 2018 Credential is focused on changes to the documentation of the TOGAF Standard.
For example, the training spends more time explaining the movement of the III-RM model from inside the core document to a TOGAF Series Guide than on the guidance offered on applying to TOGAF Standard in the Practitioners’ Approach to Developing Enterprise Architecture Following the TOGAF® ADM.
