Preface

This DocumentThis document is a Study Guide for the TOGAF® 9 Certified qualification. This fourth edition is based on Version 3 of The Open Group Certification for People: TOGAF Conformance Requirements (Multi-Level) and is aligned with the TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2. It gives an overview of every learning objective for the TOGAF 9 Certified Syllabus beyond the Foundation level, and is specifically designed to help individuals prepare for certification.

The audience for this Study Guide is:• Individuals who require a deeper understanding of the TOGAF 9

framework• Professionals who are working in an organization where the TOGAF 9

framework has been adopted and who need to participate in architecture projects and initiatives

• Architects who will be responsible for developing architecture artifacts• Architects who wish to introduce the TOGAF 9 framework into an

architecture practice• Architects who want to achieve a recognized qualification to demonstrate

their detailed knowledge of the TOGAF 9 framework

This Study Guide assumes a prior knowledge equivalent to TOGAF 9 Foundation.

While reading this Study Guide, the reader should also refer to the TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2.

The Study Guide is structured as follows:• Chapter 1 (Introduction) provides a brief introduction to TOGAF 9

certification and the examinations that lead to the TOGAF 9 Certified qualification, as well as how to use this Study Guide
