Exam Guarantee Pass:
We have a 99% first time pass rate for TOGAF® course participants. If you do not pass the exam the first time after taking our course, we will provide one additional exam voucher to you free of charge to ensure you obtain your certification.
Inclusions
2 complimentary exam vouchers are included in the price of this course:
- TOGAF® Enterprise Architecture Part 1 Examination Voucher
- TOGAF® Enterprise Architecture Part 2 Examination Voucher
Other providers usually include a Combined exam voucher, which means a candidate must sit for both tests (level 1 and level 2) at one time. We strongly recommend taking the exams separately, as students have told us this is the best approach to learn more and better appreciate the overall experience. Students prefer the flexibility that comes with scheduling the two exams separately. In addition, Level 1 is Closed Book and Level 2 is Open Book, so the two exams are very different from each other. Both exams deserve focused preparation and execution.
A combined voucher for the Level 1 & 2 examination (Combined Exam – both Levels taken back-to-back), If preferred, can be substituted by request, but the price of the course will remain the same.
Other Valuable Inclusions:
- Entire collection of accompanying color slides*
- Digital Version of TOGAF® EA Body of Knowledge
- 4 Sets of Practice Tests*
*Note: Hard copies of these materials are provided for all students signing up at least 2 weeks prior to a course, unless extra copies are immediately available for use. Hard copies of material are not provided for online classes.
