Course 9022: TOGAF Boot Camp

TOGAF is an architectural framework - 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.

It is a set of methods, processes, reference models, standards, techniques and tools for developing a broad range of different IT architectures. It 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.

The TOGAF boot camp leads to TOGAF Certification.

Our TOGAF certification boot camp will enable Enterprise and IT architects, designers and managers to achieve TOGAF CERTIFICATION (the certification fee is included in the price.(A $300.00 value)
After completing this program, attendees will be able to:

• Understand Enterprise Architecture and managing its lifecycle successfully
