TOGAF Training – Formation TOGAF Certifiée

TOGAF Foundation & Practitioner certification — hands-on ADM workshops with Sparx EA & ArchiMate. English or French, on-site or remote.

TOGAF Training: Master the World's Leading Enterprise Architecture Framework

TOGAF (The Open Group Architecture Framework) is the most widely adopted enterprise architecture framework in the world, used by over 80% of the world's leading enterprises. Our TOGAF training program — also available as formation TOGAF certifiée in French — prepares enterprise architects, solution architects, IT managers, and transformation leads to understand, apply, and govern architecture using the TOGAF standard.

Unlike generic TOGAF certification courses that focus exclusively on exam preparation, our TOGAF training combines theoretical foundations with real-world application. Every ADM phase is illustrated with practical exercises using Sparx Enterprise Architect and ArchiMate — so you leave the training not only ready for the certification exam, but equipped to apply TOGAF in your organization from day one.

All courses are delivered in English or French (formation TOGAF en français), on-site in Brussels (Bruxelles), Paris, Luxembourg, at your offices anywhere in Europe, or remotely via video conference.

What is TOGAF? — Qu'est-ce que TOGAF ?

TOGAF is a comprehensive framework for enterprise architecture that provides a systematic approach to designing, planning, implementing, and governing enterprise information technology architecture. Developed and maintained by The Open Group, TOGAF has been adopted by organizations worldwide as the standard methodology for aligning IT strategy with business objectives.

The heart of TOGAF is the Architecture Development Method (ADM) — a step-by-step process for developing enterprise architecture. The ADM consists of a preliminary phase plus eight phases (A through H) and a central requirements management process. Each phase produces specific deliverables that feed into subsequent phases, creating a repeatable, governable architecture development cycle.

En français : TOGAF est le cadre d'architecture d'entreprise le plus utilisé au monde. Il fournit une méthodologie structurée — l'ADM (Architecture Development Method) — pour concevoir, planifier et gouverner l'architecture IT en alignement avec la stratégie métier. La certification TOGAF est reconnue internationalement et constitue un atout majeur pour tout architecte d'entreprise.

Our TOGAF training covers every ADM phase with theory, real-world examples, and hands-on exercises in Sparx EA. Below is the detailed curriculum mapping — each phase includes ArchiMate viewpoints and practical deliverables.

Preliminary

Framework & Principles

Day 1

Establish the architecture capability, define principles, and set up governance. Configure the EA repository and agree on the scope of architecture work.

A

Architecture Vision

Day 1–2

Define the architecture vision, identify stakeholders, create the request for architecture work, and establish the value proposition for the architecture initiative.

B

Business Architecture

Day 2

Develop the baseline and target business architecture: capabilities, processes, organization, and information. Map business motivation and strategy.

C

Information Systems Architecture

Day 2–3

Develop data and application architectures. Model application components, data entities, integration patterns, and information flows.

D

Technology Architecture

Day 3

Define the target technology platform: infrastructure, networks, middleware, and deployment topology. Map technology to application components.

E

Opportunities & Solutions

Day 3–4

Identify transition architectures, group work packages, and perform initial implementation planning. Evaluate build-vs-buy and migration strategies.

F

Migration Planning

Day 4

Finalize the migration plan: prioritize projects, define transition states, establish dependencies, and create the implementation roadmap.

G

Implementation Governance

Day 4

Establish architecture contracts, monitor implementation conformance, and ensure that projects deliver according to the target architecture.

H

Architecture Change Management

Day 4–5

Manage changes to the architecture, establish criteria for triggering new ADM cycles, and maintain the architecture capability over time.

R

Requirements Management

Throughout

Central process that operates throughout all ADM phases: identify, store, prioritize, and manage architecture requirements across the lifecycle.

Adding TOGAF certification to advisory credentials

The Foundation track requires no prior TOGAF knowledge — it is ideal for architects and managers new to enterprise architecture frameworks. The Practitioner track builds on Foundation-level understanding and is designed for professionals who will actively apply TOGAF in their organization.

TOGAF + ArchiMate + Sparx EA: The Practical Combination

TOGAF defines what to do (the ADM process, deliverables, and governance). ArchiMate defines how to model it (the visual notation for enterprise architecture). Sparx Enterprise Architect is the tool that brings both together in a single, governed repository.

Our TOGAF training integrates all three throughout the curriculum. When we teach ADM Phase B (Business Architecture), participants model business capabilities and processes in ArchiMate using Sparx EA. When we teach Phase C (Information Systems Architecture), they model application components and data flows. When we teach Phase E (Opportunities & Solutions), they create transition architectures and migration roadmaps — all in the same repository.

This integration means that participants finish the training with hands-on experience creating TOGAF deliverables in the tools they will use in their daily work. No other TOGAF training provider in Belgium or France offers this level of practical tool integration.
