TOGAF® Enterprise Architecture Training – Foundation and Practitioner Combined

Foundation logo
Practitioner logo

This intensive 4-day (4×8 hours) program combines the TOGAF® Enterprise Architecture Foundation (Part 1) and the TOGAF® Enterprise Architecture Practitioner (Part 2) officially accredited trainings, approved by The Open Group.

The first two days cover the theoretical foundations, concepts, structure, and logic of the TOGAF® Standard, 10th Edition, and the Architecture Development Method (ADM). The second two days focus on the practical application of the methodology, tailored to real enterprise environments.

The aim of this program is to equip professionals with the knowledge and skills to effectively apply the TOGAF® Framework in real-world enterprise architecture practice, and to prepare participants for both official certification exams. Upon successful completion, participants will earn the TOGAF® Enterprise Architecture Practitioner certification and become eligible for the TOGAF® Enterprise Architecture Applied Practitioner digital badge.

The objectives and benefits of the training

Why is it useful to obtain the TOGAF® Enterprise Architecture – Practitioner level?

The TOGAF® Standard is an internationally recognized enterprise architecture framework that enables organizations to align business, IT, and technology goals through a structured, system-level approach.

Foundation Level – establishes understanding of the standard and methodology by:

  • providing a comprehensive overview of the TOGAF® Standard structure and key concepts,
  • introducing the phases of the ADM cycle,
  • ensuring a shared professional vocabulary,
  • supporting collaboration between business and IT areas.

Practitioner Level – builds on the Foundation knowledge to teach:

  • the practical application of the ADM,
  • stakeholder management techniques,
  • development of roadmaps, capability plans, and gap analyses,
  • change management and ensuring long-term architectural sustainability.

Completing the combined program equips participants with both the theoretical and practical skills required to apply the TOGAF® Standard effectively.

Skills and Perspectives Gained

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

  • understand the role of EA within an organization,
  • identify the key components of the TOGAF® Standard,
  • apply all phases of the ADM in practice,
  • identify, manage, and communicate with stakeholders,
  • create and document the Architecture Vision,
  • develop business, data, application, and technology architectures,
  • plan and manage implementation,
  • manage architectural change and requirements,
  • apply additional techniques such as risk management, gap analysis, and capability planning.

Who Should Attend

The combined course is ideal for:

  • enterprise or business architects,
  • project managers, consultants, IT or business analysts,
  • leaders and decision-makers,
  • domain or solution architects,
  • professionals involved in EA processes who seek a consistent methodology and shared professional language.
