TOGAF® Intensive Program (EA Practitioner)

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

  • 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 implement Architecture Change Management
  • How to manage architecture requirements
  • How to use The Open Group Library
