TOGAF® 9.1 Certified (Level 1 and 2) Training Detroit Michigan

Michigan Technology Services offers instructor-led TOGAF® 9.1 Certified (Level 1 and 2) training through a partnership with a commercially licensed TOGAF® trainer. He and his staff are authorized by the Open Group to deliver TOGAF® training using the official TOGAF® materials. They are subject matter experts with real-world architecture experience, who will reinforce all learning through group exercises and discussions. They’ve trained over 1000 architects in Enterprise Architecture, Solution Architecture, TOGAF®, and Business Architecture and have delivered over 100 TOGAF® courses.

The training can take place at our location in Farmington Hills, 20 miles outside of Detroit, onsite at your office anywhere throughout the United States, or if you prefer, instructor led live online.

Our TOGAF® training courses include practice tests to prepare the student for the TOGAF® Certification Exams. We know there is more to enterprise architecture than passing an exam. The TOGAF® courses are also designed to:

Train new architects being brought into a TOGAF® EA capability
Support organizations adopting TOGAF®, considering TOGAF® adoption, or looking to integrate TOGAF® into their current EA capability
Enable organizations already using TOGAF® to evaluate their own practices against the standard

Who Should Attend

The target audience for TOGAF® 9 Certified (Level 1 and 2) training includes but is not limited to:

Individuals who require a deeper understanding of TOGAF® 9.1
Professionals who are working in an organization where TOGAF® 9.1 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 TOGAF® 9.1 into an architecture practice
Architects who want to achieve a recognized qualification to demonstrate their detailed knowledge of TOGAF® 9.1

Prerequisites

A prior knowledge of Enterprise Architecture is advantageous but not required

Course Objectives

The course prepares you for the TOGAF® exams, but more importantly, it prepares you to think and act as an Enterprise Architect, and begin delivering solutions that support your functioning business with appropriate technology.

Upon completion of the training, students will be equipped to prepare for and pass the TOGAF® 9.1 Certified (Level 1 and Level 2) certification exams prescribed by the Open Group.

The TOGAF® 9.1 Certification consists of two exams which must be passed in order to become certified. Passing one exam by itself does not give you a certification.

Upon passing both exams, you will become TOGAF® certified and will be invited to join The Open Group. That means you get access to their forums, a ton of support materials, and lots of invitations to seminars and webinars, many of which are free.

Student Successes

The Certified ScrumMaster and Certified Scrum Developer courses that Michigan Technology Services set up for our organization were great. The instructors (Mark and Angela) were outstanding.

- SF, Senior Software Developer – Hewlett Packard Enterprise

The instructors were top notch and made the courses exciting. I have taken Cisco CCNA, Linux and SQL admin classes and I find myself using the knowledge gained every day. If you value getting quality content that will be relevant for years to come, take these courses with Michigan Technology Services.

- SP, Detroit Network Team Manager – Global Advertising Company

I have taken the Scrum Alliance Certified ScrumMaster and Product Owner classes from Michigan Technology Services and thoroughly enjoyed the class content and instructors. I found the ScrumMaster class particularly engaging and energizing as the instructor was top notch. Both classes fueled my passion for agile project management and team dynamics which I have used to drive change in the way my department executes and thinks about running software development projects. I highly recommend Robert and his company.

- Daniel King, Senior Project Manager – AAA Michigan – Auto Club Group

In February of 2015, the Detroit Housing Commission reached out to Michigan Technology Services to request Microsoft Office Excel training for the staff. Within a few days, Rob was able to set up the services at a very reasonable expense. The trainer was superb, knowledgeable and very patient with the students. It was one of the best trainings that we have ever had.

- De’Onna Henderson, Director of Asset Management – Detroit Housing Commission

We had an excellent experience working with Rob at Michigan Technology Services. He went above and beyond helping us to design three days of onsite customized SharePoint training for our associates. The trainer was beyond knowledgeable and instrumental in the success of the project. If customized training is what you are looking for, we are confident that you need not look any further than MTS for your business training needs.
