Who are the Best Togaf Accredited training course (TATC) in India

There are three well known Togaf Accredited training course providers: Enterprise Architects, iCMG and CC and C Solutions.

I cannot speak for others but I can certainly point out the differential that CC and C Solutions enjoys:

We have a decade-old long-standing and close relationship with The Open Group. We are a Gold Member with Open Group. That means What we say is what we do.

We provide the best quality TOGAF® training. Having been in the training industry for over a decade, we know what it takes to be a great trainer. All of our trainers have real world experience and are selected because of their consistently high standards and feedback. Our aim is to give you the skills and confidence you need to deliver Enterprise Architecture. As you would be aware, our course fee is the lowest for such a high quality accredited TOGAF® 9.1 course anywhere.
CC&C solutions has great experience in working on enterprise architecture engagements for customers across the globe and most of it has involved the use of TOGAF®. Apart from TOGAF® 9.1 theory, our training course takes a practical orientation from our collective experiences in TOGAF® work and thus also focuses on the practical aspects of TOGAF® 9 - the aspects (and challenges) of applying TOGAF® in real EA work. We also offer constant support to the participants with any questions they might have on TOGAF® anytime after the course is over without any charges.
We are vendor-neutral and vendor-agnostic in our training and consulting and have successfully worked with our customers due to this. In our training, we provide multi vendor examples. Organizations such as yours would have heterogeneous environments/systems and multi-vendor environments to deal with. And, therefore you and your employees have to have a broader perspective and have to be vendor-neutral in your approach during architecture work. If you are part of a service provider company (such as IBM, Accenture, Capgemini etc.), while engaging with your customers, you as a professional will need to work with heterogeneous environments/systems and multi-vendor environments. And, therefore you have to have a broader perspective and have to be vendor-neutral in your approach during customer engagements. So, our training approach will be very much useful and aligned to your needs.

We provide advice and training suitable to global and Indian conditions - Our instructors for these India programs are based in India (this is an advantage) and have very good connect with the experience and challenges of the participants and thus will have better connect with the participants in the class - our instructors will have clear understanding of what is happening here in India and also the globe. This leads to the participants better understanding the subject and able to discuss their architecture work related challenges. 

All of this would be great value-add from our TOGAF® 9.1 training course and would be hard to find elsewhere.See us on Facebook

It is important to understand concepts of Togaf before certification

Self study route is clumsy. I have had students who were TOGAF certified mostly by self-study and some amount of guidance within their organization. They attended my class room course post certification because they realized that their knowledge was not usable just by achieving the Certification.
So we should first Learn and understand TOGAF and then certify. Complete understanding is not possible in short time but Accredited Training course will create the right perspective and pointers to every module of TOGAF

Who can Teach TOGAF

Only a Togaf Accredited training course (TATC) approved from Open Group is authorized to conduct Togaf training.
Without license and accreditation from The Open Group, no one can teach TOGAF®.
We hear about many people and organizations who are providing TOGAF® training without any commercial license and accreditation. They would be opening themselves up to trouble (possible legal action) with such activity.  Such courses are typically of very poor quality. 

Please let your colleagues/friends know of this and let them not get cheated by some illegal training provider in the name of saving a few thousand rupees.

Togaf Certification is not that difficult

Enterprise Architecture framework is now being studied as “TOGAF”. Open group is a consortium of fortune 300 organizations. It provided a non-selling platform to prospective customer (Insurance, Banking, Telecom) and service providers (e.g. IBM, HP, Capgemini) to collaborate and create best practices, principles and guidelines to do business and utilize capability of IT to fulfill service needs.

The course consists of multiple dimensions. It is not possible to bind understanding of entire subject as a combined whole with Self-study. Experienced trainer is required to clear points with specific examples to demystify the subject matter. Once the Accredited Trainer has taken participants through the entire course and conducted mock exam then the candidate knows exactly how much effort they need to put on which area of the content. This speeds up the certification preparation. One can easily achieve certification in one month time with the four days training.

How to get Togaf Certified

There is a 100% growth in professionals certifying on Togaf. It is because Fortune 500 organizations are using TOGAF to improve their business transformation and hence they need TOGAF training now.
TOGAF Training material Document Number: G116 is freely available from Open Group. One can read and understand it but cannot connect the dots to see the big picture. That is done accurately in Togaf Accredited training course (TATC). So get the four day training with a reputed TATC, digest the knowledge for 2-3 weeks’ time. Book the prometric centre using voucher supplied by TATC and write the test. 
You must plan to score more than 85% as merely passing will not give you enough self-esteem. If you follow TATC route it is achievable in normal course.
