EACOE Member Grades | Re-certification | Enterprise Architect Certification at No Cost |

Some Enterprise Architect certifications and courses focus on theory at the expense of implementation; others focus solely on technology and exclude the interests of non-technical and non-management personnel. Others require no demonstration and have multiple choice, a, b, c, and d tests as the learning foundations.

The discipline of Enterprise Architects is nowhere near the maturity of professional fields like surgeons, engineers, pilots/aviation, and architects for physical structures. There is no industry standard for the Enterprise Architecture profession – only “self-declaration” by the “certification groups.”

With EACOE, you can ensure that your investment in Enterprise Architecture provides the most benefit to your career and organization.

Enterprise Architecture Certifications for Practitioners by Practitioners. The Enterprise Architect Industry Practitioner Standard.

EACOE actually does Enterprise Architecture – not just provide courses or education like the others out there. Therefore, we don't guarantee that you will be able to pass an exam.

We ensure that you are able to demonstrate your ability to develop Enterprise Architectures based on real-world issues and events.

Providing you with actual experience building models and completing analyses in an Enterprise Architecture “project.”

Certification workshops are offered at various locations worldwide, live as a distance learning opportunity, or self-paced or presented on-site at your location. See detail of our training and certification workshops HERE.

EACOE Enterprise Architecture Certifications

EACOE practitioner certification provides you with the proven skills and tools to produce and develop usable and profitable Enterprise Architectures.

Getting you ready to develop enterprise architectures "next Monday morning!"

More than theory alone, EACOE certification and training have you participate in all the phases of Enterprise Architecture and certify your ability to transfer that knowledge to your organization.

EACOE certification is the most cost-effective Enterprise Architect certification - with high returns. When you add up the cost of other certification seminars, exams, architecture tools, and ancillary requirements, EACOE is, by far, the most cost-effective globally recognized Enterprise Architect Certification.

See Advantages of Enterprise Architect Practitioner Certification

We get those aspiring to do architecture ready to go, with everything fully integrated, to genuinely develop an enterprise Architecture.

EACOE certification approaches are simple and straightforward;

Learn the practice of Enterprise Architecture
Perform the Enterprise Architecture you have learned
Be reviewed by the world's most experienced Enterprise Architects
Receive the appropriate certification level
ALL in the Workshop itself!

Additionally, our educational courseware and Enterprise Architecture approach is the foundation for the two Universities that offer Enterprise Architecture degree programs – a testament to the quality of our Workshop and our offerings, and something we are very proud of (and frankly humbled!). We are not aware of other certification bodies or approaches that have the academic rigor we believe is required.

EACOE Enterprise Architect Member Re-certification Requirements

Like all GREAT Certifications and Training, there is an "expiration date," and ours have one also – two years. Recertification can be done in two different ways:

Option #1

Re-attend our Certification Workshop at a 30% fee reduction from the current Workshop fee,

Distance Learning,
Self-Paced,
1-on-1 (no fee reduction for the one-on-one workshop)

Option #2

Submit equivalent work products for Re-Certification. To promote the "profession", we do not charge for this work products review service.

In order to obtain Re-Certification (option 2),

which parallels our EACOE Enterprise Architecture Workshop, we require the following key items:

We look for a submission that provides a traceable path,

we can observe, from a set of architecture models (architecture elements, definitions, structure) (1), transformation of the architecture models into implementation/relationship models (2), a transformation path, generation of the architecture and relationship models into projects/initiatives/capabilities (3), the definition for the architecture elements (name, definition) and the representation and definition of the initiatives (4), the provision for the understanding required by multiple stakeholders, and the priority scheme to move the organization to its desired state (5).

We would suggest a submission with these attributes being addressed and assist us by adding the numbers that indicate the different elements of the submission from the Architecture definition.

Please identify which of your submissions are associated with Architecture models (architecture elements, definitions, structures).

Please identify which of your submissions are associated with the transformation of these Architecture models into implementation/relationship models.

Please identify how the transformation from the architecture models to implementation/relationship models occurred, and which items are associated with these transformations – traceability and transparency are imperative.

Please identify which of your submissions are the generation of the projects/initiative/capabilities, from the architecture models and relationship models, and the techniques used for these generations.

Please identify which of your submissions are the definitions of the initiatives/projects/capabilities that were derived from the architecture models, and relationship models.

Please identify which of your submissions identify the various stakeholders, and which of your submissions are related to these various stakeholders.

Please identify which of your submissions identify the prioritization criteria used to prioritize the initiatives/projects/capabilities.

Please contact our team to submit your re-certification. We look forward to hearing from you.
