TOGAF® Intensive Program (EA Practitioner Bridge)

The TOGAF Enterprise Architecture Practitioner certification provides validation that an individual has the knowledge, comprehension, and ability to analyze and apply the TOGAF Standard to developing, sustaining, and using an Enterprise Architecture.

The purpose of this bridge learning path is to enable individuals who are TOGAF 9 Certified to obtain TOGAF Enterprise Architecture Practitioner certification. The bridge option exists to recognize the existing investment in TOGAF certification for individuals who have achieved the TOGAF 9 Certified qualification.

The learning objectives at this level focus on application and analysis in addition to knowledge and comprehension.

Certified individuals will have demonstrated their understanding of:

  • The context within which an Enterprise Architecture practitioner must operate
  • How to apply the stakeholder management technique
  • How to implement the Architecture Vision phase including its applicable techniques
  • How to implement the Architecture Development Method (ADM) Phases B, C, and D to develop an
  • architecture, together with the applicable techniques
  • How to implement the ADM Phases E, F, and G to implement an architecture, together with the
  • applicable techniques
  • How to support the ADM work
