Course Duration - 5 Days

Practical TOGAF (The Open Group Architecture Framework) is a five day course in which delegates will gain a comprehensive understanding of the body of knowledge required for registration, by the Open Group, as a certified TOGAF Architect. TOGAF is the most widely recognised method and framework for delivering Enterprise Architecture worldwide. The course is highly practical and qualification is achieved by an assessment of individual and group work output. The course consists of short lectures, hands-on exercises and assignments via a real world derived case study, ensuring comprehensive understanding of the principles taught. All Purple Griffon courses are delivered by authorised trainers who are highly experienced in their field. As an ISEB accredited ITIL training provider Purple Griffon has delivered accredited ITIL training for a number of years and see Practical TOGAF as a natural extension of our training course portfolio.

Ideally delegates should already have, or be motivated to move into, a role which requires enterprise level architectural thinking and responsibility.
