    Product Standard TOGAF 8 Training
    Certification Program TOGAF Certified by The Open Group
    Problem Summary The TOGAF 8 TRAINING Product Standard fails to mention the minimum
    duration of the course
    Problem Description
    [CSC template]
    The Open Group Architecture Forum has always considered that an
    instructor-led TOGAF training course that leads to successful trainees
    becoming TOGAF 8 CERTIFIED should have a minimum duration of four days.
    A similar number of study hours would be required where remote means of
    delivery are involved. This intent is not covered anywhere in the TOGAF
    8 TRAINING Product Standard.

    As it stands the certification process could even be abused by trainers
    providing a quick one-day run through the subject matter listed in the
    CSQ and then granting certification.

    Review Response Since the matter relates to content of the Product Standard, which is a
    company approved document this should be referred to the Architecture
    Forum to rule on.

    Review Resolution Interpretation (INT)
    Review Conclusion An interpretation (INT) should be granted.

    It is agreed that this is an error in the Product Standards, and that
    they should be updated through the corrigenda process, with the changes
    applied to the current versions of the Product Standards.

    The TOGAF Training Product Standard should be updated to state a
    requirement that a conforming course be at least 4 days in duration
    (assuming a 7 hour day) and that distance learning require an equivalent
    number of hours of study.

    The TOGAF 8 Certified Product Standard should be updated
    to explicitly state that the course duration be at least 4 days.

    A consequence of these changes is that existing TOGAF 8 Training
    course providers who have 3-day courses will need to update them to 4
    day courses.
