TOGAF® 9 Training Course Materials Checklist

August 2015
Version 2.1.2

© Copyright 2013-2015, The Open Group. All rights reserved.

1 Introduction
This document is completed by a training course provider that is submitting a training course for
accreditation within the The Open Group Certification for People: TOGAF ® Certification program.
This document is used in conjunction with the Training Course Accreditation Checklist. This document
provides a mapping between the training course materials and the required learning outcomes whereas the
Training Course Accreditation Checklist provides a mapping between the remaining documentation in the
Accreditation Package and the program requirements. The assessor will use the full set of completed
checklists to perform the documentation assessment phase of the accreditation process in order to
determine whether the training course meets the Accreditation Requirements.
The applicant is required to submit a full set of documentation that collectively illustrates that each of the
requirements listed in the Training Course Accreditation Checklist has been implemented and that each of
the applicable learning outcomes is covered in the training course. The documentation set is called the
Accreditation Package and includes the applicant’s quality management system documentation, the
training course materials, the trainer credentials, and any other supporting documentation.
The applicant has some latitude as to how to meet the documentation submission requirements as the
exact form and number of documents will vary between applicants. However the format of this document
should not be changed and all mandatory parts must be completed.
Regardless of the application used to populate it, this document must be submitted in a format that can be
edited by the assessor. Microsoft Word, iWork Pages, and Open Office are acceptable formats. Alternate
formats may be used only with approval from the assessor.

1.1 Training Course Information

Provide information on the training provider and the training course to be accredited. This information
must be the same as is specified in the Training Course Accreditation Checklist, of which this document
forms a part.

Organization Name

Training Course Name

1.2 Applicant Document Submission

Training course materials are those documents used in the delivery of the course, as provided to
candidates and trainers, and include presentations, candidate handouts, course tutor notes, exercises, and
case studies. Training course materials are submitted in the language used to deliver the course.
For each document submitted for the assessment, enter the name of the document in the “Document Title”
column. The “Document Reference” is a short, unique identifier you assign to the document to enable
shorthand references to the document in the tables that follow. Where possible this identifier should relate
easily to filenames uploaded. You may optionally enter any relevant comment concerning the document
in the “Comment” column. If any of the training course materials are also listed in Section 1.1 of the
Training Course Accreditation Checklist, use the same Document Title and Document reference in each
checklist.
Document Title Document Reference Comment

1.3 Checklist Instructions
When you complete an entry in the table, use the value in “Document Reference” column from Section
1.1 above in the “Document in which evidence is found” column in the checklist. Enter the section
number, slide number, or location within the document in the “Reference within document” column so
the assessor may easily identify where and how the learning outcome is covered in your course materials.
Failure to do so may result in this checklist being rejected and thus having to be revised and re-submitted.

1.4 Key to the Training Materials Mapping References

The Conformance Requirements document upon which this checklist is based is the TOGAF ®
Certification for People Conformance Requirements (Multi-Level) (Document X111, December 2011),
Version 2.0.

1.5 Key to the Training Course Materials Checklist

Item Description
Level/Unit The certification level and unit within the Conformance Requirements
document.
Unit Reference Number The unit section number reference within the Conformance
Requirements document.
Learning Outcome The Learning Outcome within that section in the Conformance
Reference Requirements document.
Requirement Source The document and section number(s) from which the requirement is
derived.
Document in which Insert the short-form document name (e.g., “Document Reference”
evidence is found from Section 1.2) as a reference to where the Learning Outcome is
covered in your submitted training material.
Reference within document Insert the section number in the document that addresses the
requirement. You could also reference slide numbers. Do not use page
numbers as these may not stay the same when the assessor is viewing
your document.
Other pertinent information Additional information that will demonstrate that the Learning
Outcome is covered within your course. You could insert verbatim
text here if it is brief. The use of this column is optional.
Applicant Comment Anything else you would like the assessor to know, and that might
move forward the assessment process. The use of the column is
optional.
Assessor Comment As stated, for official use only and not for completion by the applicant.

2 TOGAF® 9 Training Course Materials Checklist for Level 1
If your training course provides training for TOGAF 9 Foundation (Level 1), complete the checklist below to assert where each Learning Outcome
is addressed in your submitted training material.
If your training course does not cover Level 1, skip to Section 3, TOGAF® 9 Training Course Materials Checklist for Level 2.
