Students will learn by experience and assessment of others. To complete the course, delegates are required to :-
• Attend the full course
• Actively participate in any discussion or exercise given.

Assessment is by observation of individual and group work output.

To complete registration, following the successful completion of instruction (as above), candidates must sit and pass an independent online examination administered by Prometric on behalf of the Open Group (exam costs are not included in the course price). This can be done at the conclusion of training or scheduled later at the candidates choice.

The exam is the combined TOGAF 9 Part 1 and 2 exam.
Part 1 is closed book and covers the essential body of knowledge required to achieve TOGAF foundation registration.

Part 2 is open book (an online reference is provided) and entails the application of the knowledge in case study type scenario questions. The answers to both sections are multiple choice, but the Part 2 questions require a knowledge beyond the facts.

The course will prepare you for the Level 1 - Foundation AND Level 2 - Certified exams.
The purpose of certification to TOGAF Level 1 is to provide validation that you have gained knowledge of the terminology, structure and basic concepts of TOGAF 9 and understand the core principles of Enterprise Architecture and TOGAF. The learning objectives at this level focus on knowledge and comprehension.
The purpose of certification to Level 2 is to provide validation that in addition to the knowledge and comprehension of Level 1, you are able to analyse and apply this knowledge. The learning objectives at this level focus on application and analysis, in addition to knowledge and comprehension.

Passing Part 1 and 2 is required for registration as a Certified TOGAF 9 Architect.

Voucher validity
Once you've paid your exam fees, the voucher for taking the exam will be given to you. The voucher is generally valid for a period of 12 months from date of issue but see your voucher for specific terms.

New releases to TOGAF and impact on exam taking

If you went for a course on TOGAF 9 content, you can still take the exam as normal. The certification has not changed its title and remains TOGAF 9 certification.

The exam that is currently being offered only covers TOGAF 9 content as TOGAF 9.1 was only introduced in December 2011. Therefore, a period of transition has been implemented by The Open Group. In May 2013, it is expected that aspects of TOGAF 9.1 will be introduced into the exam.
