The ArchiMate® 3.1 Training – Practitioner is an accredited course based on the ArchiMate® 3.1 Specification which is the latest open and independent modeling language for Enterprise Architecture from The Open Group.
The Open Group ArchiMate Certification for People Program is a market-driven education
and certification program to support the ArchiMate modelling language, and ensures that individuals are knowledgeable about the visual modelling language. Assessment is via a formal examination either on-line or in a Pearson Vue facility.
About this Course
The Open Group credential provides validation that the Candidate has gained knowledge of the notation, terminology, structure and extensive concepts of the ArchiMate modeling language and has the capability to apply and use the ArchiMate language for modeling transformations.
The learning objectives focus on the ability to apply the ArchiMate modeling language professionally. There is an examination included and after passing the examination an Acclaim Open Badge is available for certified individuals.
The modelling practices enhance your visualization and business transformation skills.
Developing comprehensive and high-quality models for the business transformation and ensuring all stakeholders within an organization have a clear view of their areas of interest is a key role for the ArchiMate modelers. Understanding the inter-operability required with the rest of the organization and external stakeholders is an essential role of the ArchiMate Practitioner to add value to the integration of business transformation.
After attending the training students will be able to model and integrate uniform representation of an organisation’s Enterprise Architecture. They will be able to model and integrate diagrams that describe, analyse, and visualize the different architecture domains, their relationships, and dependencies in an unambiguous way. Then contribute to and fit the models within the big picture view of the Enterprise Architecture for cross-organization synergy and harmonization.
This course is of 10-hour duration and is available as classroom-based, live webinar or self-learning digital training options for those who have completed the ArchiMate® 3.1 Foundation course successfully. The training materials are available for minimum 6 months. The training materials are based on ATE Enterprises’ experience of developing and using Enterprise Architecture and ArchiMate 3.1 standards, our extensive training programs and combines formal teaching, personal exercises/quizzes using our latest Learning Management System.

Tools
ATE Enterprises is a patron of the Archi open source modelling toolkit which we use to demonstrate the ArchiMate notation and modelling techniques for students. The toolkit has been designed to provide the main features required by ArchiMate modelling with some additional features such as sketches and Business Model Canvas.
All our ArchiMate courses include a tutorial on using Archi for those who may not be familiar with the tool.
We recommend that students use the tool to practice their modelling exercises. The tool is freely available and is used by 1000s of Enterprise Architects worldwide. The Archi download instructions are within the modules however you will need to uninstall any previous versions of Archi before installing this one.
Alternatively, students may practice modelling using their organization’s EA tool if it supports the ArchiMate 3.1 notation.
The latest release of Archi supporting ArchiMate 3.1 was delivered in July 2020 and includes the capability to exchange models using The Open Group’s ArchiMate exchange format. The file transfer facility is available to swop models between different ArchiMate tools. The Archi version uses the ArchiMate Model Exchange File Format which is available for ArchiMate 3.1 models.
The exchange format means that you can share your models between different ArchiMate tools and access your model data with other modelling frameworks. Very useful for developing your own models using Archi before you share your models with your organization’s modelling tool.
In addition, there are a number of ArchiMate Certified Tools that support the ArchiMate 3.1 version (bold) and the ArchiMate 3.01 version which are identified in the following table. These are production level tools for which a fee is required and have many more features than modelling ArchiMate.
Some of the tools also support the TOGAF Enterprise Architecture and are TOGAF certified tools. The table shows which tools support the latest certification version TOGAF 9.2 standard (bold) or the earlier version 9.1 standard.
