Helping you build your architecture skills and capabilities
Training and consultancy for enterprise architecture and every architecture domain, delivered face to face, by virtual webinar and by e-learning, to suit your requirements, timescale and budget.
Our focus is on helping individuals and organisations around the world to design, develop and implement the right architecture for their business or their clients. We do that through training and mentoring that gets teams to their enterprise architecture goals rather than merely to a certificate.
We deliver public training globally and we arrange private training for groups, at your premises or at a location of your choice.
What we teach
Our trainers have been major contributors to the TOGAF Standard since 1999. That is the difference between teaching a framework and having been in the room while it was written, and it shows in a classroom in a way it never shows on a brochure. When a delegate asks why a phase of the method is worded the way it is, the answer here is first hand.
- TOGAF® certification, Foundation and Practitioner
- Business architecture
- EA modelling based on the ArchiMate® notation
- Security architecture within the architecture development method
- Architecture coaching and enterprise architecture maturity assessment
How we deliver it
Face to face, by live webinar, or online and self-paced. Format is a scheduling decision rather than a quality decision: a webinar cohort gets the same practitioner and the same exercises as a room in Frankfurt does. Webinar sittings are published in several time zones so that delegates across eight regions are not asked to learn at four in the morning.
Value
Good value for money is the optimal use of resources to achieve the intended outcomes.
That is one of our guiding principles and we apply it to our own services as much as we teach it. We keep courses small, we keep costs sensible, and we spend more of the time mentoring than lecturing.
Our people
Our people are critical to your success, so we bring instructors and subject matter experts who are practising architects, not career trainers. We hold a robust internal quality assessment for trainers and materials. Our trainers have that useful combination of expertise and practical war stories.
