Change History
Updated July 6 2006, for worldwide examination rollout.
1. Introduction
This document is a guide for suppliers1 who want to submit products, services
or individuals for certification within the TOGAF Certification Program.
TOGAF Certification occurs using an online web certification system (see Section
1.3).
This document guides you through all the steps required for certification.
Certification is given to products, services or individuals that have been certified by The Open Group as having
demonstrated their conformance to the applicable Conformance Requirements. The detailed requirements for conformance are identified
in the relevant Product Standards.
The Certification Policy governs certification. The Certification Agreement covers the terms and conditions of the
certification service, the warranty of conformance and the terms
and conditions for use of the TOGAF Certification Logo.
You must agree to the terms and conditions outlined in both these documents prior to certification.
For your convenience, significant highlights of the certification process are outlined below, and the following
sections give more comprehensive information.
The Certification Authority is The Open Group, LLC.
A product, service or individual will be certified and entered on the certification register once the Certification Authority is
satisfied that the product, service or individual meets the applicable Conformance Requirements and all other requirements,
including formally agreeing to all the required terms.
A license to use the TOGAF certification logo in connection with the product, service or individual will be granted when
certification is achieved.
A certified product or service is subject to re-certification on a periodic basis as stated in the Certification Policy.
All product information supplied to the Certification Authority will be treated as confidential, as required by the
Certification Agreement.
The Open Group Certification Authority may, from time to time, request proof that the product, service or individual remains in compliance with the
requirements outlined in the Conformance Requirements, as required by the Certification Agreement.
At the end of this document is a Certification Checklist to help you make sure that your
registration is complete.
You may also want to read the applicable Quick Step Guides to
TOGAF Certification for the Product Standard you are interested in.
These are available from
http://www.opengroup.org/togaf/cert/docs/primer/.
Note 1: A supplier might be a certified training organization
registering a course or batches of certified individuals, an organization providing professional services, or a
tools vendor.
Note 2: In the event of any conflicts, this guide defers to the Certification Policy,
and the Certification Agreement
1.1 Referenced Specifications

Group.
TOGAF Documentation, December 2003, The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF), Version 8.1 (I9nn), published by The Open
Group.
These are referenced by the Product Standards (see Section 2.1.2).
You should be familiar with these specifications prior to commencing certification. See Section 1.3 for information on obtaining a copy
of the specification.
1.2 Summary of Certification Documents
This section includes a list of all the certification documents and their purpose.
To become familiar with this certification program, you should read the following program documents:
The Certification Policy
This document is the foundation of the program, providing information on the
classes of certification within the
program, what it means to be certified, what is required to get a product, service or individual certified and how to make sure that a
product, service or individual remains certified. See Section 2.1.2 for further information.
The Product Standards
The Product Standards should then be read to understand the detailed conformance requirements against which a product, service or
individual can be
certified.
See Section 2.1.2 for further information.
The Certification Agreement
The Certification Agreement defines the certification service and the legal
commitment to the conditions of the service.
See Section 2.6 for further information.
The Guide to Certification (this document)
This document is a guide for suppliers who want to certify products, services
or individuals and provides detailed information on the steps required
to take to achieve certification.
Conformance Statement Questionnaires
A questionnaire to be completed during certification. It contains
a structured set of questions which when answered describe the
way in which a product, service or individual meets the Conformance Requirements. It also
precisely identifies the product, service or individual.
See Section 3.2 for further information.
1.3 Summary of Web References
A summary of the external web references is given below:
This guide details the steps you are required to take to achieve certification, and provides information on how to perform each
of these steps.
The process involves:
Understanding the certification program and process
Preparing for certification
Applying for certification
Submission of Supporting Evidence
2.1 Understanding the certification program
To become familiar with the program, you should read the following program documents:
The Certification Policy
The Product Standards
2.1.1 The Certification Policy
It is best to start with the Certification Policy, which is the foundation of the program. It provides information on the
what can be certified in the program, what it means to be certified, what is required to get a product, service or individual certified
and how to make sure that a product, service or individual remains certified.
The Certification Policy describes certification for products, services
and individuals meeting the conformance requirements as specified in a
Product Standard (see Section 2.1.2).
The Product Standards should then be read to understand the detailed conformance requirements against which a product,
service or individual can
be certified. Product Standards provide a mapping between certification, the
TOGAF specifications and the indicators of compliance required to
demonstrate conformance.
The current Product Standards that products can be certified against are:
TOGAF 7 Certified
TOGAF 7 Professional Services
TOGAF 7 Tool Support
TOGAF 7 Training
TOGAF 8 Certified
TOGAF 8 Professional Services
TOGAF 8 Tool Support
TOGAF 8 Training
You should review Section 3, Conformance of the Certification Policy and the Product Standards and identify
those against which you would like to have a product, service or
individual certified.
2.2 Confidentiality
Your details, including those of the product, service or individual
undergoing certification, are confidential between you and the Certification Authority. This is
effective once you accept the Certification Agreement, which is a prerequisite to registering a product, service or
individual. The
Certification Authority does not make any certification information available to any third party, including employees, consultants
or members, without the written permission of the supplier.
Upon successful completion of the certification process, the certified product, service or individual will be included in the publicly available
Certification Register at http://www.opengroup.org/togaf/cert/register.html. However, to allow for time
lag to
launch a certified product or service, you may request that certification remain confidential for up to 6 months from the date of written
notification by the Certification Authority that a product, service or
individual has achieved certification. A request that the certification remain
confidential can be made in the final step of the registration process (see Section 3.6 below). See Section 12.3 of the
Certification Policy for further information.
2.3 Preparing for Certification
You should read the applicable Product
Standard for the product you are considering certifying, referring to
the Conformance Requirements and
Indicators of Compliance section to identify the requirements
you will need to meet. In some cases this requires that your
organization has an appropriate TOGAF Commercial License (see Section 2.5).
If you still have a problem but are certain that your product or service
conforms to the specifications, please check the Problem Report
information database held at http://www.opengroup.org/togaf/cert/PR. The online Problem Report database contains
known information on existing bugs and interpretations of the TOGAF
specification(s). The issue may already be resolved by an existing
Interpretation, or by an agreed Certification System Deficiency. If it is not, please raise a new Problem Report, see http://www.opengroup.org/togaf/cert/PR.
For general questions related to certification, but not related to the TOGAF specifications, you can email the Certification Authority fully
describing the problem. Please note that the Certification Authority helpdesk only handles general questions and is not able to
address interpretations of the TOGAF specifications.
2.4 Certification
Certification is a formal process. You, as a supplier of a certified product, service of individual warrant and represent by accepting the
Certification Agreement that the
product, service or individual meets all the conformance requirements applicable to the Product Standard against which it is
certified and if applicable, implements all
the features claimed in the Conformance Statement.
The obligations, terms and conditions of certification are fully set out in the following documents:
It is necessary to read these documents before you start the certification process in order to fully understand the policies and
requirements.
2.5 The TOGAF Commercial License
If you wish to use submit a product or service for certification to
one of the following Product Standards a TOGAF Commercial License
is required.
For information on obtaining a TOGAF Commercial License
see the links on the left panel of the certification web site.
The type of commercial license required depends on the version of
TOGAF, so for example TOGAF 7 Product Standards require a TOGAF 7
Commercial License, whereas the TOGAF 8 Product Standards require
either a TOGAF 8 or TOGAF 8.1 Commercial License.
If your organization is a member of The Open Group's
Architecture Forum you can obtain an Annual Commercial License
for TOGAF for no additional charge after completing the
additional appropriate paperwork for the license.
The TOGAF Commercial License Agreement is between you and The Open Group and requires signature.
The TOGAF Commercial License agreement only needs to be entered into once per organization. It needs to be renewed annually.
When it is in place multiple products or services can be submitted
for certification to the above Product Standards.
You are required to agree to the Certification Agreement for each registration.
The Certification Agreement is between you and the Certification Authority. It defines the certification service and the
legal commitment to the conditions of the service. This is also
where you warrant conformance of a product, service or individual to the relevant Product Standard.
The TOGAF Certification Policy includes the concept of Re-branding an already certified TOGAF Tool Support or TOGAF Training
product. This allows for technically identical products to be delivered
by multiple suppliers.
Re-branding a Certified TOGAF Tool Support Product
This can be useful if you wish to market a third-party product under your own brand identity and want to use the TOGAF Certification
Logo in association with the Product.
Re-branding a Certified TOGAF Training Product
This can be useful if your organization wishes to
deliver a certified TOGAF Training course but does not want to develop
the course or undergo the full process of having
original course materials certified. In this instance re-branding
allows you to simply state that what you are submitting is identical to an already
certified TOGAF Training product and that you accept the obligations
for an organization with a certified TOGAF Training product.
3. Registration
3.1 Completing The TOGAF Commercial License Agreement
You can skip this section if you are an individual registering for
the TOGAF 7 Certified or TOGAF 8 Certified Product Standards.
If the Product Standard you are certifying against requires that
you have a TOGAF Commercial License (see Section 2.5),
you must submit a completed TOGAF Commercial
License Agreement to The Open Group. This is a prerequisite , without
completion of which you will not be able to enter
the web certification system for the full range of product standards.
You should download the agreement from the link provided within the web
certification system, and follow the instructions for submitting to The
Open Group. Once you have been approved your company will be added to
the list of companies who can register themselves. You are recommended
to notify the Certification Authority that you have signed a license. The Certification Authority will then be
able to followup with The Open Group's legal department to find out when
the TOGAF Commercial License has been countersigned.
You can skip this section if you are registering for the TOGAF 7 Certified
or TOGAF 8 Certified Product Standards.
The next step is to complete a Conformance Statement to describe your product or service and how it meets the conformance requirements.
Your Conformance Statement(s) will be linked into the Certification Register entry for the product or service once it is certified. Template
Conformance Statement Questionnaires are available from http://www.opengroup.org/togaf/cert/docs/conformance.html.
The currently available Conformance Statement Questionnaires are:
TOGAF 7 Professional Services
TOGAF 7 Tool Support
TOGAF 7 Training
TOGAF 8 Professional Services
TOGAF 8 Tool Support
TOGAF 8 Training
You must complete the relevant questionnaire to create a Conformance Statement for your product. See Sections 1.2,
Section 2 and Section 3.3 of the Certification Policy for further information on the purpose of the
Conformance Statement.
Conformance Statement Questionnaires are provided as html templates. You should download the template and
edit the html, retaining the existing layout. You must submit the completed Conformance Statement in html format to the
Certification Authority using the web certification system (see section 3.6). You can submit your Conformance Statement after you
have created a company account and started registration within the web certification system (see sections 3.3 and 3.4).
Conversion to other formats besides html, or changes to the template in sections other than those allocated for Responses
are not acceptable and will result in the Certification Authority rejecting your submission.
The Conformance Statement Questionnaire contains Product Standard specific questions that must be answered. Submission of
the Conformance Statement occurs during the registration process.
3.3 The Web Certification System and Submitting Initial Certification Information
Applying for certification requires you to submit some initial information via the web. You can enter only
as a designated contact for a company to register product standards or
as an individual if you pass the examination to complete your certification.
The available Product Standards for registration dependent
on your role are summarized below:
Your Role
Product Standards Available for Registration
(a) Individual not registered as a designated contact for a company accepted into the program
Completion of TOGAF 8 Certified by exam
(b) Designated contact for a company accepted into the program
TOGAF 7 Professional Services
TOGAF 8 Professional Services
TOGAF 7 Tool Support
TOGAF 8 Tool Support
TOGAF 7 Training
TOGAF 8 Training
(c) Designated contact for a company accepted into the program with
a TOGAF 7 Training Certified Product
As per (b) plus TOGAF 7 Certified (training provider batch registration)
(d) Designated contact for a company accepted into the program with
a TOGAF 8 Training Certified Product
As per (b) plus TOGAF 8 Certified (training provider batch registration)
3.3.1 Accessing the Web Certification System
The Certification Authority provides a web based certification system through which products, services or individuals can be submitted for certification.
The entry point to this is at http://www.opengroup.org/togaf/cert/.
The first step is to select "Enter", which then gives you an
intermediate screen with various help information, from which you
can then proceed to access the secure web server.
3.3.2 Submitting Initial Certification Information
Individuals
As noted in Section 3.3 above, you can enter the system
in a number of roles. The minimal role is as an individual not
designated as a contact for a company accepted into the TOGAF certification
program. For this you simply need a valid username and password
on the Certification Authority's web server.
If you don't yet have an account, you may obtain one from the certification web site by selecting "Enter secure site" to enter the
secure web site (if you have not already done so), then selecting "New User" to create your username and password.
Once you have your username, from the secure web site, select "Login" to
login. See Section 3.4 for registration within the web certification system.
Registering Contacts for a Company
To register products, services or individuals on behalf of
a company, you must be registered as the designated Authorized, Technical or Alternate contact for that company. Company
registration and that of its designated contacts have a number of steps
that must be completed before you will be able to proceed.
Your login will not offer you the full range of Product Standards until all the following
steps have been successfully completed.
Please take the following steps to register your company and its
contacts:-
You will need a username and password on the Certification Authority's web server for identification purposes. If you don't yet
have an account, you may obtain one from the certification web site by selecting "Enter secure site" to enter the secure web site
(if you have not already done so), then
selecting "New User" to create your username and password.
Next you will need to select your company name from those
who have TOGAF Commercial Licenses and accept the terms and conditions of the Certification program, by accepting the
Certification Agreement, for entry into
the system. To do this you need to select "New Company Account".
If you do not have a TOGAF Commercial License this needs to be
obtained before you can proceed.
To register your company, you need to select your company name
and specify the name and contact information for
the following contacts:
The Authorized Signatory who will authorize your company's registration. The Authorized Signatory must be someone who is
authorized to enter into legal commitments on behalf of the company.
The Technical Contact, who will be the primary contact for all certification-related issues.
An optional Alternate Contact, who will be the back-up for the Technical Contact and also have access to the web certification
system to register items
The Financial Contact, who will be the contact for any payment and/or invoicing issues
An optional Marketing Contact, who will be the contact for any marketing-related certification issues
Note: The Authorized Contact, the Technical Contact and the
Alternate Contact, if specified, are the only users who will have the ability to register products or services using the web
certification system.
The web based certification system will then send electronic mail to your designated Authorized Signatory who must respond by
electronic mail to the Certification Authority. The Certification Authority will verify the response and, if the requirements are met, accept your organization for entry into the certification system.
When the above is completed and the Certification Authority has responded to your designated Authorized Signatory with
notification that your application has been accepted, your Technical and Alternate contacts will receive confirmation by electronic
mail from the web certification system that your company account has been activated. At this point, your Technical and Alternate
contacts will be able to progress to the next stage which is accessing the web certification system to commence
registrations.
3.4 Registering a Product, Service or Individual within the Web Certification System
If you want to re-brand an already certified product skip ahead
to Section 3.4.1.
When you register a product, service or individual you are required to provide details including the name of the product, service
or individual, and for products version or release
information, for which conformance has been demonstrated.
You must select the Product Standard that the product, service or
individual is being registered for.
After you select the "Select the Product Standard" button, you are then presented with the Certification Agreement, which must
be accepted in order to proceed with this registration.
The next screen presented is then specific to the Product Standard.
If you wish to send any notes to the Certification Authority about this registration you may do so on this form. Such notes are held confidential
between you and the Certification Authority. You may also enter a URL for this registration
which would be presented on the Certification Register.
If you are an individual registering for TOGAF 7 Certified or
TOGAF 8 Certified you must enter a 9 digit self-registration
code. This code can be obtained by email from the Certification
Authority. After accepting the certification agreement you are
returned to your home page. You should select the "Next" icon
for your registration to select the course from the certified
training course list and enter
the date you completed it. The system will send for confirmation
to the organization whose course you have selected. Upon
confirmation you will be informed by email that you can then proceed
to final registration. You should skip ahead to Section 3.6 below.
3.4.1 Re-branding a Product
Note: This is only applicable to the TOGAF Tool Support and TOGAF Training
Product Standards.
In order to re-brand an already certified product select the
"Submit a Re-branded Product" link. You will then need to select the
existing product that you wish to re-brand. A
screen is then presented for you to input the details
including the name of the product and the version or release number.
If you wish to send any notes to the Certification Authority about this registration you may do so on this form. Such notes are held confidential
between you and the Certification Authority. You may also enter a URL for this registration
which would be presented on the Certification Register.
After you select the "Register a Re-branded Product" button, you are then presented
with the Certification Agreement, which must
be accepted in order to proceed with this registration.
3.5 Uploading your Conformance Statement
You can skip this section if you are registering for the TOGAF 7 Certified
or TOGAF 8 Certified Product Standards.
The certification system will guide you through the steps that you need to follow to register a product, service or individual to
be certified. For all Product Standards, apart from TOGAF 7 Certified
and TOGAF 8 Certified, the
first document that you must upload to the certification system is the Conformance Statement for your product (see section 3.2)
If you are re-branding an already certified product the Conformance
Statement must be identical to that of the original supplier apart from
the supplier name and product name and version information.
3.6 The Final Step - Confirming your Submission & Payment
Once you have completed input of all the required information, the web
based certification system allows you to confirm your submission details
and then proceed with the payment.
The certification system will display a
form into which you
enter the final details that are required to submit the product , service
or individual
for certification. This is done in two stages:
This form allows you to check all the information relating to your company (if applicable), the product, service or individual and the registration. It is divided
into sections; each one needs confirmation from you that it is correct.
You can also signify that
you wish the registration to be kept confidential prior to product launch. If any of the information needs correcting you can, at
this point, update it.
The second and final part is to affirm your commitment to the terms and conditions of the program as stated in the
Certification Agreement and the additional committments
as required by the Product Standard. The additional
committments are listed in the table below:
Product Standard
Additional Affirmation of Committment Required
TOGAF 7 Certified or TOGAF 8 Certified (individual self-registration)
None
TOGAF 7 Certified or TOGAF 8 Certified (training provider batch-registration)
Confirmation that the candidates submitted have demonstrated
satisfactory participation and committment to the course
TOGAF XX Professional Services (where XX is 7 or 8)
Agree to abide the TOGAF XX Code of Practice
Commit to use of only TOGAF XX Certified practitioners in provision of professional services registered to the TOGAF XX Professional Services Product Standard
Have a training policy for TOGAF XX Certified practitioners
Commit to maintain a register with The Open Group of the names of all
personnel providing the TOGAF XX Professional Services.
TOGAF XX Tool Support (where XX is 7 or 8)
None
TOGAF XX Training (where XX is 7 or 8)
Commit to use of only TOGAF XX Certified instructors in provision of
live courses registered to the TOGAF XX Training Product Standard
Commit to register names of individuals who have satisfactorily
completed a TOGAF XX Training certifed course and wish to be registered
within two weeks of completion of the course
Commit only to register with The Open Group the names of individuals
who demonstrate
satisfactory participation and committment to a course
Certification fees are due at this stage. See Section 3.6.1 below.
3.6.1 Payment
Payment is required to complete a full submission for
registration. Payment may be either by credit card at the time of
registration, or by purchase order, check or wire transfer received by the
Certification Authority in advance of registration.
Note: The Certification Authority will not process the registration
until payment has been received.
See http://www.opengroup.org/togaf/cert/docs/Fee_Schedule.html for the
fee schedule.
Please note that if you use a payment method other than by credit card, your submission cannot be processed until the
payment is received by the Certification Authority.
3.7 Completion of Certification
If your submission for the TOGAF 7 Certified or TOGAF 8 Certified
Product Standard is complete, you will be notified of successful
certification within 6 business days.
If your submission is for one of the other Product Standards and is complete, you will be notified of successful
certification within 10 business days.
If for any reason the submission was not complete, you will be notified so that
any corrections can be made and resubmitted. Such a resubmission needs to be done within one month unless an extension has been
granted by the Certification Authority. The initial fee covers one set of corrective actions.
The details of the certified product, service or individual will then be put on the Certification Register, which is a public document, unless you have
requested that it remains confidential. To keep the certification confidential, this option must be selected in the web
certification system at the time the product is submitted.
When a certification has been made public, you will be sent
a URL from where you can download a certificate.
You should note that certification is valid for a defined period as stated in Section 9.1, Duration of Certification of
the Certification Policy. At the end of that period, if applicable, if you wish the product or service to remain certified you will need to renew
the certification. (See Section 4 below for more information.)
3.8 Appeals Process
You may appeal decisions made by The Open Group Certification Authority as stated in Section 11, Appeals Process of the
Certification Policy. Any request for appeal should be sent by electronic mail to togaf-cert@opengroup.org . Receipt of such
a request will be acknowledged within 6 working days by the Certification Authority and the appeals process invoked.
4. Renewals and Certification Entry Updates
4.1 The Renewals Process
A certified product, service or individual has a defined period for its initial certification, after which if the policy allows
it, it must be renewed or the item will no
longer continue to be certified. Normally, this is two years from
the date of initial certificaton.
When a renewal is due the Certification Authority will notify you around two months in advance using electronic mail (so it
is important to maintain your contact information). At any time, you may use the web based certification
system to obtain the renewal dates for your certified register entries.
Renewal implies that the product or service continues to conform and that you will continue to support the product or provide the
service for the duration of
the renewal period.
Renewals are undertaken using the web based certification system. When you select the item to be renewed you will
be presented with a web renewal form to complete.
You can then elect to renew for the next certification period or, at your option, elect for a shorter period.
TOGAF Certified Renewals
The possible paths for renewal for an individual who is TOGAF certified
(in all cases renewal is for a two year period) are as follows:
Direct with The Open Group
Via their employer, if two or more individuals are being renewed
then batch rates apply based on the total number of employees
certified for the class of certification at the time of renewal
Via a certified training organization, if two or more
individuals are being renewed then batch rates apply based on
the number of individuals in the batch being submitted for
renewal
The fee banding for the batch rates is listed on the fee schedule. The
minimum size of a batch is two individuals. As a reminder, renewal can
take place early and the 2 year period is applied to the expiry date ,
not the date that renewal occurred, so if you renew one month before
expiry, your next renewal is due in 25 months time. Similarly, if
renewal occurs during the 30 day grace period, the 2 year period is
based on the original expiry date not the date on which payment is
received. Payments for batch renewals by certified training
organizations can be made through the web certification system
4.2 Certification Updates
If you make any changes to the certified product, service , you may be required to re-certify as required by Section 8
of the Certification Policy. You should
read that section thoroughly since it describes multiple scenarios related to changes to certified products, services and
individuals, some of which require a
certification related activity.
In some cases a complete "Full certification" is required since the update is equivalent to a new
product or service so far as certification is concerned.
4.2.1 Maintenance Releases
If the change to your product qualifies as a maintenance release (as defined in Section 8 of the
Certification Policy) you should contact the Certification Authority to
inform them of the change.
You may request an update to your certification information to include the maintenance release. Depending on how you
describe the maintenance release, this may be a wise thing to do so as to avoid marketplace confusion regarding which versions of
your products are certified. Updates to a product's certification information for a maintainance release can be done by contacting
the Certification Authority. The
Certification Authority will change the product name on the Conformance
Statement and in the Certification Register and issue a new certificate, if
a certificate was previously issued.
4.2.2 Renaming a Product
If you wish to rename your product (as defined in Section 8 of the TOGAF Certification
Policy)
then please
contact the Certification Authority including the details of the required
change and a written statement to the Certification Authority indicating
that there have been no material changes to the certified product. The
Certification Authority will change the product name on the Conformance
Statement and in the Certification Register and issue a new certificate, if
a certificate was previously issued.
If your product is a submission in progress and has not been submitted
for audit to the Certificaton Authority, then renaming the product can be
done using the web based certification system. Select the product that
you wish to rename, the form with the product details including name
and version will then presented for you to update. If you have submitted
the product for audit please contact the Certification Authority.
4.2.3 Re-branding a Certified Product
If you wish to re-brand a product (as defined in Section 8 of the Certification
Policy)
you should find out whether you have the permission required for re-branding. Then proceed into the
web based certification system as if you were certifying a new product, except that when you are asked to input information about
the product you should select that this is a "Re-branded" product. You will then be presented with a web re-branded product
form to complete.
The main difference between a "re-branded" registration is that
upon submission, the Certification Authority will verify that you have permission.
4.2.4 Other Scenarios
Other scenarios are considered as new products and subject to "Full certification" as described in Section 3 of this
document.
