TOGAF® Enterprise Architecture Training – Foundation and Practitioner Combined
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.
Further information about the TOGAF® Standard »
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.
