    Problem Summary Does the TOGAF 8 Training Product Standard allow a training course to be
    a combination of distance learning and instructor led
    Problem Description
    [CSC template]
    The first three paragraphs of the CONFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS of the TOGAF
    8 Training Product Standard are as follows:

    1. A TOGAF 8 TRAINING certified product (hereafter referred to simply as
    the "course") may be a single course, or a defined configuration of
    courses from a single family of related courseware. A course may be
    delivered by live instructor(s) or by distance learning.

    2. A conforming course, if delivered by live instructor(s), shall have a
    minimum duration of four (4) days (assuming a 7-hour day). In the case
    of a course delivered by distance learning, the minimum period of study
    undertaken shall be equivalent to four (4) days (assuming a 7-hour day).

    3. A conforming course shall enable its defined target audience to
    acquire the knowledge and awareness of TOGAF 8.1 necessary to meet the
    conformance requirements of the TOGAF 8 CERTIFIED Product Standard.


    Paragraph 1 states that the course may be delivered by live instructors
    or distance learning, there is no mention of a combination.

    Paragraph 2 states that if instructor led that the course is a minimum
    of four days, and if distance learning the equivalent of four days,
    there is no mention of a combination.

    As written this would appear to support the assertion that a course can
    only be either instructor-led or distance learning and not a
    combination. And in either case the course must have a minimum duration
    of four days. Is this correct?

    Review Resolution Interpretation (INT)
    Review Conclusion A training course can be either distance learning, instructor led or a
    combination of both. In all cases the time spent learning shall be
    equivalent to four days (assuming a 7-hour day), and this study time
    requirement and the breakdown of distance learning and instructor led
    training will be made clear in all advertising.

    For example a 100% instructor led course will be advertised as a 4 day **
    instructor led course. A combination course with 50% instructor led
    training would state that the course comprises two days instructor led
    training plus two days equivalent distance learning.

    ** One day assumes a 7-hour day
