TOGAF^® 9 Prep Training (Levels 1 and 2) – Public Course

Account Registration is Required For Placing Orders: You will need to have an account and be logged in to complete the Checkout process and place an order (see the "My Account" page to register and/or login). Registration is free, quick, and easy, and only requires you to enter your email address and the password you want to use for account login (this email address is used for automatic order-receipt and invoice messages). Note that you do not need to have an account or be logged in to enter the course order selection form; this allows you to explore the order form and its options/selection choices prior to registering for an account, if you wish.

Placing orders requires acceptance of our Terms and Conditions: By creating or using an account, placing orders, or otherwise using the content, forms, products, or services offered on this site, you must accept our Terms and Conditions and our Privacy and Security Policy. You will be asked to indicate your acceptance these Terms and Conditions before entering the Checkout page. Note that the Terms and Conditions page also contains our Refunds, Cancellations, and Rescheduling policies.

One order at a time: Each Add-Attendee order, or new course order, must be completed through the payment/order confirmation step before another order of that type can be placed, meaning two orders of the same type cannot be in the cart at the same time (the cart allows order review before checkout, but is not intended to accumulate multiple items of the same type). Note also that an Add-Attendees order for a given course cannot be started until that course's order has been completed through payment/confirmation and an order number for that course is available. These restrictions protect the integrity of our course reservation and booking system.

We include, at no extra cost, a "Combined Part 1 and Part 2" exam voucher for each attendee that can be used to schedule his/her combined exam at a Pearson VUE test center location, date, and time of their choosing after the course (to qualify for the voucher, attendance at all course sessions is required). The "combined" exam, OG0-093, allows both the Level 1 and Level 2 exams to be taken back-to-back in a single session. Significant value is added by including these vouchers in our accredited course price, given that attendees would otherwise pay $495 per person if purchasing the same exam from the test center on their own. A key advantage of the combined exam approach, aside from the obvious scheduling efficiency, is that an attempt at both exams is allowed, and credit is given for either exam being passed such that if only one Part is not passed, only that Part needs to be retaken. A limitation of the Combined exam is that Foundation certification cannot be an outcome if only Part 1 is passed; "TOGAF 9 Certified" is the only possible certification outcome after both Part 1 and 2 exams are passed.
Separate Part 1 and Part 2 Vouchers Also Available: If separate Part 1 and Part 2 exam vouchers are desired (instead of the Combined exam voucher included in the course price by default), we can supply separate vouchers for some/all attendees provided you make this request at least 3 business days in advance of the course start date. While most attendees prefer the efficiency of, and do very well with the Combined exam (single-sitting) approach, the alternative of using separate vouchers allows an attendee to separately schedule the Level 1 and Level 2 exams on different dates, and also allows for "Foundation" certification to be awarded after passing just the Level 1 exam - an outcome that is not possible with the Combined exam (note that if no further certification beyond Foundation is desired, the attendee can simply not use the second provided voucher). Note however that, when using separate vouchers, eligibility for the Part 2 exam requires that the Part 1 exam has already been passed (if both Parts scheduled on same day) or Foundation certification has been granted by The Open Group after passing Part 1 (if Part 2 is on a different day).

In addition to exam vouchers, our accredited course includes a Second-Chance Exam Retake Guarantee -- if an attendee fails a TOGAF 9 certification exam on the first attempt, we will provide a free exam retake voucher (course must be ordered via our online system, and certain other restrictions apply -- see details). Retake exams must be taken at least one month after the failed attempt. If a retake is needed that is not covered by our guarantee, an attendee may contact The Open Group directly to receive a discount code that can be used to reduce the cost of scheduling their retake exam with Pearson VUE.

A lower cost alternative for those not needing vouchers: If most or all of your attendees are not planning to seek certification, or there is uncertainty about committing to certification, or if certification exams are expected to be paid for separately from other funding sources, or if you simply want to decouple exam expenses to get the lowest possible course acquistion cost, you may want to consider booking our non-accredited "EA Framework Cert Prep 200" course instead; this course is priced at $420 less per person and does not include vouchers (nor does it include our "Second-Chance Exam Retake Guarantee"), yet it still provides essentially the same TOGAF 9 instructional content, materials, and delivery approach as our accredited course. Further details on the exam booking process are provided below.

The Pearson VUE exam scheduling process (for information only): For attendees seeking certification, the provided vouchers are used to schedule the certification exams at a Pearson VUE test center after the course (test center location, exam date, and exam time are selected based on attendee preference). Pearson VUE is The Open Group^® Exam Provider for the TOGAF^® certification exams, and their test centers are located in or near most cities. Exams are booked by registering for a free web account on The Open Group website, and then using that account to access the Pearson VUE page for certification exams. At this point, the attendee can select the exam type (OG0-093: TOGAF 9 Combined Part 1 and Part 2 Exam), which allows both the Level 1 and Level 2 exams be taken in one sitting and results in "TOGAF^® 9 Certified" certification if both exams are passed. The attendee is then presented with a list of test centers near their location that offer the requested exam, and he/she then chooses the test center location, date, and time for their exam (different test centers have different dates and times available). On the Pearson VUE checkout page, the attendee's voucher code is entered and is accepted as payment. To explore or begin this exam booking process, we recommend starting at the guidance page for Pearson VUE certification exams on The Open Group^® website - this page provides instructions on getting started, getting an account, and entering the Pearson VUE site.
NOTE: For those who do not have vouchers to cover the cost of their exams (ie, attendees who did not qualify due to lack of attendance at all course sessions, attendees from our non-accredited course, or attendees who need a retake exam but do not qualify for our Second-Chance Exam Retake Guarantee), the same process described above can be used, except that a credit card would be used on the Pearson VUE checkout page to pay for the exam -- in this case, the retail cost of the combined OG0-093 exam would be $495 for the first attempt (The Open Group offers discount codes to reduce the cost for any exam retakes).
