COURSE FEATURES

Each student receives our course workbook.  The workbook follows the course presentation and provides simple, practical exercises that apply course content.  It also has quizzes that allow the student to check and confirm their understanding of the course material.

An answer key for the course workbook is also provided.  The key provides the correct answers and explanations to support self-study.

PRACTICE EXAM

Practice Exams developed by The Open Group are provided by us to all students in our accredited courses. Metaplexity Associates staff have participated in the development of the certification exams in the subjects we teach. Some TOGAF exams available on the Internet are poorly developed and don’t adhere to the examination conformance requirements.  In some cases, practice exams come from illicit “Exam Dump” sites.  These should be avoided.

VOUCHER

We issue an Examination Voucher to each participant in our accredited courses.  The Open Group is now using Pearson VUE as the examination provider.  The voucher can be used exchanged at any Pearson test center that administers TOGAF examinations. The TOGAF 9 certification examination will be administered at the end of the course.
