Overview
A critical skill that all enterprise architects must have is the ability to communication architectural ideas in a formal way. At the same time, enterprise architecting should be focused on capturing ideas, understanding concepts and the relationships between them. The ArchiMate® 3 Specification (published by The Open Group) has been designed to address both these requirements. It is a lightweight language based on UML, with capabilities of describing all layers of architecture, from Enterprise through to Technology. In addition it can be used for motivation/strategy modelling and the creation of implementation and migration plans.
This course leads to delegates achieving Certified status in both the ArchiMate® 3 Foundation and ArchiMate® 3 Practitioner, Version 3.1. It provides them with the convenience of taking the exam at the end of the course, as well as receiving instruction from experienced trainers who have been actively involved in the development of the language.

Please note: at this time, this course is being delivered virtually using Webex Technology.
Outline
Language Introduction
Introduction to the main ideas and principles behind the notation. Includes understanding key metamodels and frameworks and the main kinds of elements and relationships.
Normally after this session the trainer will facilitate a session with delegates exploring how to use ArchiMate in the context of an Enterprise Architecture, using the tool “Archi”.
Relationships
Relationships are a fundamental part of modelling. In our pre-course reading a special “Relationship Primer” document is provided to introduce delegates to the concepts. Then this section completes the task by explaining how each relationship is used.
Motivation and Strategy *
The QA course groups these aspects together as the “Context” to a system. Gathering such information is crucial to enabling the architecture to address the business needs. Each contextual item is discussed, with examples of use.
Architecture Layers (including Physical) *
The main body of the course covers this subject. Delegates will be taken through all the different layers, discussing each element, how it is used, with examples.
Implementation and Migration *
In this session we explore how architects can create plans to both migrate and implement their architecture.
Viewpoints
This topic is one of the most important in architecture. How an architect effectively describes architecture, to address the concerns of stakeholders, is a critical skill. In this session the international standard ISO42010 is reviewed, with details on how it has been implemented in ArchiMate.
Adapting ArchiMate
Certification
Exam
This is to be taken after your course within the voucher validity, with delegates linking in to Pearson Vue to do the Foundation and Practitioner exam.
*All sections shown with this asterisk include practical work, with delegates creating a model using the knowledge they have just acquired.
If you need training for 3 or more people, you should ask us about onsite training. Putting aside the obvious location benefit, content can be customised to better meet your business objectives and more can be covered than in a public classroom. Its a cost effective option. One on one training can be delivered too, at reasonable rates.
Submit an enquiry from any page on this site and let us know you are interested in the requirements box, or simply mention it when we contact you.
