    TOGAF course provider recommendation

    Are all the approved course providers more or less the same in terms of quality?

    I have so far browsed these two... costs are comparable:
    1. Architecture Center - Consultancy and training services of Enterprise Architecture
    2. ATE Enterprises | Enterprise Architecture TOGAF

    Anybody has any recommendation based on (recent) personal experience?

    I want to get both foundation and practitioner out of the way in one go.

    Thanks.

      I used Knowledge Academy. At the time it was plenty cheapness compared with other providers, and recently they've been emailing me a lot about deals on most of their courses. Its the trainer you get that makes the difference at the end of the day though.

        Me use them too. Ring them up week before the course starts and ask for a deal.

            Most places resell courses as few companies actually own a license for the courseware

            My partner teaches this course, as well as Archimate and the upcoming BIAN, but I don't think the company that use him are doing public courses at the moment.

              I like the guarantee that Knowledge Academy offers. They are cheaper than thd other two I looked at, if you book late.

                Do you know which companies hold the license? Might as well go to the source... should be the cheapest.

                  That's not necessarily true. Some places will buy bulk places at discount and resell, it's often how public courses get filled.

                  This is probably the best place to start, being the official website:

                  Accredited Training Course Provider Showcase | The Open Group

                  EA Learning have a tendency to cancel their UK courses because they don't put enough effort into selling them so they don't get sufficient take up. Firebrand are more reliable.

                    I noticed that the Microsoft Azure Fundamentals course is £1795 at knowledge academy. I've seen it much cheaper elsewhere, usually around £500 - £700. One place, Worldwide IT Training was even offering it for £99. I called and asked why it was so cheap and they told me it was in an auditorium with 60 people.
