Course Description
Objectives
All our courses have a strong practical component. The theoretical part is constantly complemented by simulations on real business problems.
The course is mainly focused on practical applications of the TOGAF® architecture framework, which builds on the concepts (basic concepts) and understanding gained in Level 1, and through practical scenarios helps to reinforce the concepts. The objective of the Level 2 certification is to be able to confirm that in addition to a simple understanding and knowledge of TOGAF® EA Foundation, the candidate is able to analyse and put the acquired knowledge into practice.
- Everything required to pass the official TOGAF® Enterprise Architecture Practitioner (Level 2 exam) based on TOGAF® Standard
- At the end of each section of the course, there will be a hands-on exercise to fix the concepts just explained and become familiar with the exam questions.
This course leads to the TOGAF® EA Practitioner certification exam session, the passing of which provides a professional-level qualification in Enterprise Architecture.
