TOGAF course provider recommendation

[ladymuck]

My partner is delivering a TOGAF 9.2 levels 1 and 2 residential public course in 8-11 March in Wyboston Lakes, St Neots. Exam will be at the end of the course. He gets good reviews for his courses and, if you're really lucky, he'll use the project I'm working on as an example of how not to do EA

It's via Firebrand and is on their website now. PM me if you're interested and want a discount code. I don't have it yet but will have it by Monday/Tuesday. Full price is £3,275 +VAT. Includes accommodation and all meals.

BTW - Firebrand advertise the course as being 9-11 March and don't tell you until you go to book that you have to attend something on the evening of the 8th.

TOGAF 9.2 Training & Certification | 3 Days | Firebrand Training

The discount Firebrand are offering is £175, so the fee is £3,100 +VAT.

If anyone wants to do the above course in March, PM me and I'll send you details of how to get the discount.

The next residential course in St Neots is 9+13 April, better discount available this time if you PM me for details

The heavy discount available is because of that

Now that the situation has changed so drastically since this thread was last discussed in March (I suspect there's been a lot of changes to the training available online since) - anyone got any fresh recommendations?

I'm currently doing a TOGAF course on udemy and while it's cheap, pre-recorded etc, it's not much better than OK - very dry, no real world examples etc. Heavy going. I expect it'll see me through the exams at a pinch but I was wondering if anyone was aware of any new deals?

[ladymuck]

It seems to have moved to more online classroom delivery so, whilst still dry as you're never going to make TOGAF intersesting, you do get (hopefully) a tutor that's directly engaging with the class rather than just speaking at you.

Not aware of any deals at the moment.

That's what I did last year. Supplement Udemy with stuff on Youtube, it does help.

I did mine with the Knowledge Academy in 2013(!). Was very straightforward. The tutor wasn't fantastic but it was TOGAF early days and no-one had much direct experience back then. Pay attention in the course and you'll pass.

Your definition of early days and mine must differ. TOGAF came out in 1995 and the version you got certified in was published in 2006 so hardly "early days of TOGAF" - just the first you'd heard of it

Sorry to resurrect a four year old thread but I thought would be a better approach than creating a whole new one.

Are the joys of Scott on Udemy and YT still the best approach for TOGAF training material or is there others that are recommended? Ideally looking for online, but willing to consider a classroom-based course. Yes, I know TOGAF is heavy going so I’m fully expecting vast amounts of caffeine to be a requirement to get through the material.

Just check it's v10 material and that it properly includes the Learning Studies. Some courses miss those out and are not fully accredited by the The Open Group.

My OH still presents courses for Firebrand (now part of BPP) and his next one in Wyboston is at the beginning of June.
