That reminds me, my other half teaches TOGAF (amongst other mind-numbingly dull things). Version 10 is now out so keep me in the style I'd like to get accustomed to and book that course in!
hmmm ... regarding the Agile / SCRUM trainer, I did training at Skillsmatter (participant in a course) about 14 years ago and I knew a trainer there from the SCRUM Alliance. I had no idea that it was still going strong, I'd thought it was on the LATE ADOPTER / That Ship Has Sailed stage.
Question: is there any market for a sideline business of being a solution architect?Comment

Developers make the worst architects. In fact techies always struggle to abstract themselves from the detail to actually become a proper architect.
Having said that, there's a LOT more to architecture than TOGAF.See You Next TuesdayComment

You can do intensive courses and get it done in under a week if you're willing to put the effort in to not thinking like a developer. It's expensive to do so you ought to look at the ROI you'd get from the certificate before committing.
The Business Architecture cert I'm looking will cost about £350 because it's self-study, foundation level, and is not the full enterprise architecture framework that core TOGAF is all about. Core TOGAF isn't for me, it's completely unnecessary for what I'm interested in.Comment
