Course 9022: TOGAF 8 Certification Training Boot Camp - TONEX.com

TONEX TOGAF training Boot Camp

What will you learn at the TONEX TOGAF 8 Certification Training Boot Camp?

TOGAF - The Open Group Architectural Framework. The key to TOGAF is a reliable, proven method - the TOGAF Architecture Development Method (ADM) - for developing an IT architecture that meets the needs of your business. This TOGAF 8 training boot camp lead to you TOGAF 8.1.1 certification.

It is a flexible set of methods, processes, reference models, standards, techniques and tools for developing a broad range of different IT architectures. TOGAF enables IT organizations to design, evaluate, and build the right architecture for their enterprise, and reduces the costs of planning, designing, and implementing architectures based on open systems solutions.

TOGAF has evolved through two recent enhancements into TOGAF 8.1.1 and the recently released TOGAF 9.0.

The Open Group has pledged to support both TOGAF 8.1.1 and TOGAF 9.0 and TONEX will continue to provide quality training for both of these latest revisions.

• TOGAF 8.1 Course: Results in TOGAF 8.1 Certified TOGAF Practitioner
• TOGAF 8-9 Course: Results in TOGAF 8.1 Certification and TOGAF 9.0 new feature introduction and review.
• TOGAF 9.0 Level 1: Two day course preparing candidates for the Level 1 Certification Exam.
• TOGAF 9.0 Level 2: Three day Course preparing candidates for the Level 2 Certification Exam.
• TOGAF 8.0 to 9.0 Upgrade: Two day Course preparing candidates for the Upgrade Certification Exam for those who have currently completed the TOGAF 8.1 Certification.
