In the initial module, an introduction is provided concerning the main features of the course, along with a comprehensive learning plan, the goals and objectives set forth, and its overall structure. Additionally, participants are given access to a course guide, a package containing various diagrams, a glossary, documents for further reading and links, and access to download necessary copies of framework publications.
The first chapter opens with an Executive Overview, which provides a broad outline regarding The Open Group’s perception of Enterprise Architecture, addressing several basic inquiries such as the nature of an enterprise, the necessity of an Enterprise Architecture, and the reasons for employing the TOGAF Standard as a guiding framework for Enterprise Architecture. The subsequent chapter delves into the foundational concepts of the TOGAF Standard, including an introductory depiction of the Architecture Development Method (ADM), the Enterprise Continuum, Architecture Repository, Content Framework, Enterprise Metamodel, and Enterprise Capability.
The initial chapter of this module elaborates on the elementary structure of the ADM along with various critical aspects. The following chapter shifts focus towards the governance and scoping pertaining to Enterprise Architecture.
This module provides an overview of the purpose and goals associated with each phase of the ADM, starting from the preliminary phase through to phases A-H. It includes explanations regarding Requirements Management and the role of architecture within an Agile Enterprise.
In this module, an introduction is given to the supporting guidelines and techniques of the ADM. It outlines the purpose behind Architecture principles, the attributes of a sound Architecture Principle, and proceeds to discuss business scenarios, interoperability, the Business Transformation Readiness Assessment, and risk management strategies.
This module starts by directing learners on where detailed guidance on applying the TOGAF Standard can be found. It discusses the application of iteration to the ADM, the Architecture Landscape, Architecture Partitioning, and the purposes of EA Capability, concluding with how the TOGAF Standard facilitates support for the digital enterprise.
An explanation is provided on the concept of Architecture Governance, initially focusing on its nature and characteristics. It also covers the role and responsibilities of an Architecture Board, alongside the functions of Architecture Contracts and Architecture Compliance.
Focus in this module is placed on the content of Architecture — the outputs generated during the execution of the ADM. It starts by defining the key concepts of Architectural Artifacts, the essence of building blocks and their utilization in the ADM, and outlines the TOGAF Standard deliverables that are created and utilized across various ADM phases.
This module contains two practice exams, one of which is provided by The Open Group, while the other has been developed by Good e-Learning.
The concluding module offers information regarding the procedure for booking the exam and details other courses that might be of interest.

TOGAF Enterprise Architecture Foundation (Part 1) exam
Enterprise architecture involves the design and management of IT infrastructures, focusing on the assembly and interaction of various elements to provide a comprehensive view. Organizations often rely on TOGAF-certified architects to align these architectures with business objectives, crucial for supporting large-scale transformations, IT development, and organizational change.
TOGAF stands for The Open Group Architecture Framework. It is a collaboration platform where The Open Group works with technology stakeholders and standard-setting bodies to develop clear standards, establish policies, and disseminate effective practices.
Organizations across all sizes, sectors, and industries benefit from the TOGAF standard, as it helps streamline operations and manage complex business strategies efficiently. While any organization can adopt the TOGAF standard, optimal usage requires a certified architect.
The certification path starts with the TOGAF Enterprise Architecture Foundation (Part 1), followed by the TOGAF Enterprise Architecture Practitioner (Part 2) exam. The TOGAF Business Architecture (BA) exam and credential courses do not require previous exam completions.
TOGAF-certified professionals typically earn between $85,000 and $202,000 annually, according to Payscale. The certification is increasingly valuable as businesses seek to integrate IT infrastructures with business operations globally.
The TOGAF framework boasts a widespread adoption in over 130 countries, with significant certifications occurring in the UK, USA, India, the Netherlands, and Australia. TOGAF-certified architects are in demand worldwide.
TOGAF assists businesses in effectively pursuing enterprise transformation and IT growth. It ensures that IT infrastructures align with business goals and offers resources that minimize the time spent on future project planning.
The TOGAF Foundation (Part 1) exam lasts 60 minutes, includes 40 questions, and is closed-book. Non-native English speakers may receive an extra 30 minutes. The required pass mark is 60%. The TOGAF Practitioner (Part 2) exam involves 90 minutes and eight questions, also with a 60% pass threshold.
