TOGAF® Foundation and Advanced Applied Architecture 2022 – Practitioner Bridge

The TOGAF® Enterprise Architecture Practitioner certification provides validation that an individual has the knowledge, comprehension, and ability to analyze and apply the TOGAF® Standard to developing, sustaining, and using an Enterprise Architecture. The learning objectives at this level focus on application and analysis in addition to knowledge and comprehension.
 
The purpose of this bridge learning path is to enable individuals who are TOGAF® 9 Certified to obtain TOGAF® Enterprise Architecture Practitioner certification. The bridge option exists to recognize the existing investment in TOGAF® certification for individuals who have achieved the TOGAF® 9 Certified qualification.
 
Certified individuals will have the following competencies:
  • Know how to apply the TOGAF® approach to transform and manage change
  • Know how to apply the TOGAF® method
  • Know how to apply TOGAF® techniques
This course is intended for individuals who are TOGAF® 9 Certified who wish to update their qualifications as part of their professional development, and demonstrate their ability to apply Enterprise Architecture.
 
Accredited Training Courses include the TOGAF® Enterprise Architecture Practitioner Learning Studies as a mandatory element of the training. Candidates who become certified, who also satisfactorily complete these learning studies will in addition earn The Open Group Certified: Applied TOGAF® Enterprise Architecture Practitioner Open Badge to reflect their ability to analyze and apply Enterprise Architecture.
