The Open Group TOGAF Certification Program for People (the Program) is intended to make certification available to people who have knowledge and understanding of TOGAF Version 9.
The Program is not intended to validate the ability of Candidates to use TOGAF effectively in practice, nor to determine whether Candidates are competent IT or Enterprise Architects. The Program is intended to evolve, without major change to this policy, to address subsequent versions of TOGAF that The Open Group may publish from time to time.
TOGAF Certification may be achieved directly through The Open Group, by passing The Open Group TOGAF 9 examination (or by passing the TOGAF 8 to TOGAF 9 bridge examination if already TOGAF
8 Certified). These examinations are available in test centers operated worldwide by The Open Group’s 1 Guidance on the Application of ISO/IEC 17024:2003 (IAF GD 24 2004), published by the International
Accreditation Forum, Inc. (www.iaf.nu). This document provides guidance to certification bodies seeking accreditation to ISO/IEC 17024, and enables accreditation bodies to harmonize their application of the standards against which they assess certification bodies.
