As a specialist training provider and active contributors to the Enterprise Architecture industry, when you train with EA Principals you will receive genuine advantages other training organizations are simply unable to provide:
 
2 complimentary exam vouchers are included in the price of this course:
 
TOGAF® EA Foundation (Level 1) Examination Voucher and TOGAF® EA Practitioner (Level 2) Examination Voucher. We strongly recommend taking the exams separately, as it is proven that this is the best approach to learn more and better appreciate the overall experience.
 
Subject Matter Experts .
All our classes are curated and taught by industry experts with long standing careers in the disciplines that they teach.
 
Individual Attention:
We pride ourselves on having a high instructor to student ratio to ensure you receive as much individual attention as desired. Follow up and Coaching Services: Our training sessions and workshops can be followed up with
coaching and mentoring services and you also get access to our LinkedIn community which is exclusively dedicated to graduates of our courses.
 
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.

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.
