Whether you already have some “certification” or you are new to Enterprise Architecture, The Enterprise Architecture Center Of Excellence’s best-in-class In-person Classroom Training and Certification Workshops provide individuals and small teams with all the enhanced knowledge, easy-to-use tools and the required skills for developing, implementing, and managing the highest returning and most cost-effective Enterprise Architecture - engineered for maximum value.
Classroom hours are from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM, and all classroom presentation and workshop materials are provided the first day. We will provide a continental breakfast, lunch, and both morning and afternoon coffee breaks. Please dress comfortably. We strongly suggest you bring a personal computer to receive maximum benefit from the Certification Workshop.

Whether you already have some “certification” or you are new to Enterprise Architecture, The Enterprise Architecture Center Of Excellence’s best-in-class Distance Learning Training and Certification Workshops provide individuals and small teams with all the enhanced knowledge, easy-to-use tools and the required skills for developing, implementing, and managing the highest returning and most cost-effective Enterprise Architecture - engineered for maximum value.
Designed to be as close to the same learning interaction and experience as face-to-face Certification.
Four-day session held live, beginning on Monday and ending on Thursday.
Accessible anywhere with an Internet connection.
Geared towards Live Online Certification, complete with instructor interactions, team “break-out” rooms, case studies, etc.
Same practitioner-led Certification Workshops you would experience at any of our public Workshop locations.
Each Workshop includes the same presentation materials as In-person classroom Workshops.
Provide feedback and receive Enterprise Architect Certification at the end of the Workshop – the same as our face-to-face Workshop.
NOT an online passive experience.
Certify your entire team Live – custom “private” Workshops can be scheduled as convenient.
Workshop participants join the Certification instructor in a virtual classroom without leaving their homes or office. Using the latest in web conferencing technology designed for maximum interaction, Workshop participants can access the virtual classroom remotely from any location worldwide and still benefit from instructor-led training. This is NOT a passive online course!
You’ll receive live instructor-led training along with feedback and will interact with your instructor as well as participate in interactive activities.
Quite simply – demand (and the technology is now available to “almost” simulate the face-to-face classroom environment!). We are responding to the need to offer Enterprise Architect Certification globally to geographically diverse and dispersed individuals and organizations around the world who may be unable to travel to a face-to-face Workshop.
Live online Workshops provide the attendee with the opportunity to become a Certified Enterprise Architect from the comfort of their desktop. This Workshop option benefits the participant by eliminating travel costs as well as time away from the office. This format also better accommodates both the individual and small teams by “bringing” the Workshop to the individual or team. We offer on-site live Workshops, but if the organization does not have enough individuals that can simultaneously “break away” for a week at one time, the live online Workshop is now an option.
You are able to enroll in a Workshop the same way as our more traditional Workshop – on our website.
We will begin the Workshop each day at 8:30 AM (Eastern Time – United States). We will have a morning break mid-morning, and a one hour lunch break is planned for 12:00 PM. There will also be a break mid-afternoon, and we will end Monday through Thursday at 5:00 PM. “Private” Workshop sessions can be arranged at times convenient to you.
A Windows PC or Apple Mac
A “standard” web browser
The Live Online Workshop uses both video and audio links, so a headset with microphone, in a quiet setting is required
A Web camera.
You will not need to install extra software on your own computer
The cost of the Workshop is listed on our Registration Page. Team discounts are available for three or more Workshop attendees at the same Workshop.
The Live Online Workshop utilizes the identical teaching methodology as our face-to-face classroom Certification Workshops – instructor presentations, instructor-guided case studies, interactive discussions, workshop attendee presentations to other participants, team breakout sessions, etc.
Yes, live Online Certification Workshops have the same content. Instructors utilize the exact presentations, case studies, examples, and Workshop activities as face-to-face classroom Certification Workshop sessions.
Yes, the length for a Live Online Workshop is 4 days in length – beginning on Monday and ending on Thursday– just like the face-to-face classroom Certification Workshop.
Every Live Online Workshop attendee will receive login details for access into the Certification Workshop virtual classroom. If the Workshop participant has questions they would like to ask the instructor, they can do so via a secured private link, in the interface.
