    Product Standard TOGAF 9 Training Course Accreditation
    Certification Program TOGAF Certified by The Open Group
    Specification Training Course Accreditation Requirements
    Location in Spec 5.2 ?Trainer Requirements?
    Problem Summary The is a potential conflict of interest when an ATTC hosts an IBT
    examination of its own employees, as a means to qualify these employeee
    for appointment as trainers.
    Problem Description
    [CSC template]
    It has come to the CA?s attention than an ATTC has submitted its own
    employees for certification by means of an IBT examination that the ATTC
    itself hosted. Furthermore an analysis of the results of that
    examination appeared not inconsistent with these two lone candidates
    having colluded on the examination answers. In particular this
    perception might be unacceptable should these employees subsequently be
    appointed ?as trainers for that ?ATTC in question.

    To avoid any perception of conflict of interest with respect to
    employees of an ATTC being certified in the way, and subsequently
    appointed as trainers, it is proposed that a new second sentence be
    added to section 5.2 ?Trainer Requirements? of ?TOGAF? Certification for
    People, Training Course, Accreditation Requirements? as follows:

    ?This certification must have been obtained as a result of an
    examination taken through the Prometric channel or from an IBT
    examination hosted by an ATTC entirely unconnected with the ATTC for
    which the individual is to act as a trainer.?

    If approved as an Interpretation ?this requirement will be added to
    Requirement 2 of Checklist 1 is the accreditation checklist.

    Review Resolution Rejected (REJ)
    Review Conclusion The view of the Specification Authority is that the proposed change to
    the policy is an over reaction to the situation, that would penalise the
    majority of ATTC providers who adhere to the policies. For this reason
    this problem report is being rejected.

    We recommend that the Certification Authority inform the trainer that
    collusion is suspected in these exams, that the candidates retake at
    Prometric, and that the trainers ability to offer IBT be withdrawn.
