Certification credentials are an addition to The Open Group Certification program for small amounts of learning (3 hours upwards). They lead to the award of an Open Badge and certificate. They are being developed for a number of topic areas. Initially, knowledge-based credentials are being developed.
There are currently two types:
- Up-to-date Knowledge (e.g., TOGAF Essentials 2018, ArchiMate Essentials 3.1)
- Specialist Knowledge (e.g., TOGAF Business Architecture Level 1, Integrating Risk and Security)
In the future, it will be possible to build certifications from related sets of credentials.
