The OG0-093 Exam is a certification in the field of enterprise architecture that focuses on the theoretical understanding and practical application of the TOGAF framework.

1. Introduction to the OG0-093 certification

OG0-093 Exam is TOGAF launched by the International Open Standards Organization®. The comprehensive examination in the 9 certification system, officially known as TOGAF 9 Combined Part 1 and Part 2, is a comprehensive evaluation that integrates the two exams into one, aiming to verify the candidate's theoretical understanding and practical application ability of TOGAF 9.2 standard in one go.

This exam is based on TOGAF Standard Version 9.2, focusing on core content such as enterprise architecture development methods, architecture content frameworks, and reference models. It is an authoritative certification exam in the field of enterprise architecture and widely recognized by Fortune 500 companies as the core qualification certificate for enterprise architects.

The core positioning of the OG0-093 Exam is "one-stop comprehensive verification of enterprise architecture capabilities." Unlike the traditional path of separately applying for Part 1 and Part 2, this comprehensive exam emphasizes the integrated evaluation of "theory + practice."

Candidates are required not only to master the basic concepts, principles, and terminology of TOGAF framework, but also to proficiently apply TOGAF enterprise architecture development methods to solve architecture problems in real enterprise environments.

The core goal of OG0-093 Exam is to ensure that the certificate holder can independently carry out enterprise architecture projects, from defining the architecture vision, designing business architecture, to implementing technical architecture and architecture governance, forming a complete enterprise architecture capability loop.

In practical work scenarios, the capabilities corresponding to OG0-093 can be directly applied to projects such as enterprise digital transformation, IT architecture optimization, and business process reengineering. Based on the TOGAF ADM method, an enterprise cloud migration architecture plan is developed, and the architecture content framework is used to standardize enterprise architecture assets. The efficiency of architecture design is improved through reference models. These are the core competencies that OG0-093 exam focuses on.

2. The Competitive Edge of OG0-093 Certification

TOGAF is the most mainstream enterprise architecture framework globally, adopted by over 80% of the Fortune 500 companies. The OG0-093 Exam serves as the comprehensive certification exam for TOGAF 9, and passing the TOGAF 9 Level 2 certification is the "golden qualification" for enterprise architects, recognized worldwide.

Enterprise architects holding TOGAF 9 Level 2 certification have significant advantages in the job market. Globally, junior enterprise architects generally earn an annual salary of $80000 to $120000, intermediate enterprise architects can earn $120000 to $180000, and senior enterprise architects can earn an annual salary of $200000 to $350000. With the accumulation of project experience, salary increases can reach 40%-60%.

The OG0-093 Exam integrates the theoretical and practical content of the TOGAF framework. During the preparation process, students can systematically master core knowledge such as enterprise architecture development methods, architecture content frameworks, and reference models, helping them quickly establish a complete enterprise architecture knowledge system, break down the barrier of "business and IT disconnection," and achieve the transformation from technical thinking to strategic thinking.

After becoming a TOGAF holder, you can join The Open Group's global membership network to access the latest enterprise architecture research reports and industry trend analysis; priority participation in The Open Group's Global Enterprise Architecture Summit, exchange and learn from architecture experts from around the world, expand international industry networks, and connect with high-quality career opportunities worldwide.

3. Core Components of the OG0-093 Certification

TOGAF® OG0-093 certification is the most authoritative and widely recognized qualification certification in the field of enterprise architecture worldwide.

This certification strictly follows the TOGAF standard version 9.2 and is divided into two modules with balanced content. Part 1 is your gateway to understanding the world of TOGAF, which requires you to master its core terminology, basic concepts, and deeply understand its architecture development methodology, covering the entire lifecycle process from architecture vision to migration planning to governance. You will also learn about the architecture content framework, meta model, and reference model that support ADM.

Part 2 is the core and difficulty of certification, which tests your ability to apply the theoretical knowledge of Part 1 to complex reality. This includes how to tailor and iterate the ADM process according to the specific situation of the enterprise, how to apply architecture development techniques, how to establish an effective architecture governance system to ensure the implementation of the architecture, and how to evaluate and enhance the overall architecture capability of the organization.

4. What are the requirements to be an OG0-093 certificate holder?

(1) Qualification prerequisites:

TOGAF® OG0-093 certification does not require mandatory educational qualifications or work experience. Anyone interested in corporate architecture and looking to improve their architecture capabilities can apply.

We suggest that you have a certain IT or business background or complete TOGAF official training courses to improve your exam pass rate. 

(2) Training and examinations:

There are 48 single-choice questions in OG0-093 certification, including the basic concept questions in Part 1 and the scenario analysis questions in Part 2. Part 2 is an open book exam, which can carry TOGAF 9.2 standard documents.

The exam lasts for 150 minutes. The maximum score is 100 points, with a passing score of 60 points or above, using a globally unified scoring standard and no fixed passing rate. The exam fee is the same for IIA members and nonmembers, approximately $490. 

(3) Qualification maintenance:

After passing the OG0-093 Exam, no additional application is required, and The Open Group will automatically issue the TOGAF 9 Level 2 certification certificate.

The TOGAF 9 certification is lifelong and does not require accumulating continuing professional education credits or signing an annual professional ethics statement. However, we recommend that you continue to monitor updates to the TOGAF framework and maintain the timeliness of your knowledge system by participating in training.
