Introduction 3 You should use this workbook to take notes about key learning points as they come up in the online course. Doing so
will help you to reinforce your understanding of the important concepts and ideas in each module. You can use these
Module 1 4
notes later when you are preparing for the TOGAF 9 Foundation Level Exam. This workbook consists of ten modules,
Topic 1 4 which correspond to the modules you will be completing during the online course. You should test your understanding
Topic 2 4 of each module by taking the relevant online quiz.
Module 2 8
Topic 1 8

Module 3 14
Topic 1 14
Topic 2 22
In every module there are key concepts and pieces of information that you must know and understand in order to pass
Module 4 28 the TOGAF Part one examination. Each of these are called Learning outcomes, and are defined by The Open Group.
Module 5 30 As you navigate through the e-Learning course, check the required learning outcome for each slide and make notes
against it. You should be able to understand every learning outcome by studying the relevant information contained in
Module 6 32 the e-Learning course.
Module 7 34 To help you match up a learning outcome in the workbook with the learning content on your screen you can cross
Module 8 38 reference the corresponding slide title and its unique reference code. Each relevant slide will have a ‘Learning Outcome’
button which will display the unique reference code.
Module 9 40
You can also jump to the corresponding source information by following hyperlinks to the TOGAF 9 online standard. You
Module 10 42 will find a link to the relevant bookmark or chapter next to every learning outcome in this workbook.
Please note that the Workbook Ref Code on pages within the e-Learning and study guide can be used to identify key
learning points for the exam.
The online version of TOGAF 9 is used as a reference in this study guide.
