Training, exams and certification
Training, exams and certification
Every published exam fee, for the 10th Edition portfolio and for TOGAF 9, which is still on sale. Then the four things that move the number once you stop reading price lists and actually book something.

These are The Open Group's retail voucher prices, from the fee schedule in force since 1 February 2026. All figures are US dollars, and they are the price of sitting the exam — nothing else is bundled in.
Booking direct costs USD 30 less. The same schedule lists an Exam Booking Fee for booking with Pearson VUE and paying by credit card: USD 405 for Part 1 or Part 2, USD 610 for the combined exam and USD 385 for the bridge. Many sites quote these lower figures; both sets are official, and the difference is only the channel.
| TOGAF EA Foundation | OGEA-101 · USD 435 40 questions, 60 minutes, closed book, 24 to pass. How that exam is built |
|---|---|
| TOGAF EA Practitioner | OGEA-102 · USD 435 8 scenarios, 90 minutes, open book, gradient scored. How that exam is built |
| Both in one sitting | OGEA-103 · USD 640 48 questions, 150 minutes. Saves USD 230 against booking the two separately. |
| Bridge from TOGAF 9 Certified | OGEA-10B · USD 415 14 items, 60 minutes. The cheapest door into the 10th Edition portfolio. |
| TOGAF Business Architecture Foundation | OGBA-101 · USD 435 40 questions, 60 minutes, closed book, English only. Not a step on the EA ladder. |
This surprises people: the TOGAF 9 exams were never withdrawn. The Open Group has committed to supporting the TOGAF 9 learning paths indefinitely, the certifications do not expire, and TOGAF 9 is still named in job adverts. The vouchers are still sold, at the old prices.
| TOGAF 9 Part 1 (Foundation) | OG0-091 · USD 400 · also in French, Latin American Spanish and Simplified Chinese |
|---|---|
| TOGAF 9 Part 2 (Certified) | OG0-092 · USD 400 |
| TOGAF 9 combined | OG0-093 · USD 595 · saves USD 205 against the two separately |
| TOGAF 9 Business Architecture Part 1 | OGB-001 · USD 355 |
Cheaper is not automatically better. If the certification is for a job advert that names TOGAF 9, it does the job for USD 45 less. If it is for your own currency in the market over the next five years, the 10th Edition is where The Open Group is putting its effort. What you should not do is buy TOGAF 9 now intending to bridge later: OGEA-10B costs another USD 415, so the two-step route comes to USD 995 against USD 640 for going straight to OGEA-103.
The fee schedule is written in US dollars and nothing else. If you are in the UK, the eurozone, India or anywhere outside the United States, what leaves your account is that figure converted by your card issuer, plus whatever local tax is added at checkout. That is the honest answer to «how much is TOGAF certification in pounds»: there is no published sterling price, and two people in the same city can pay different amounts on the same day.
There is no discounted retake. A second attempt is a second voucher at full price. But there is one piece of good news that is easy to miss: on the combined OGEA-103, and on Part 2, if you fail one section you only resit that section. A combined exam where Part 2 goes wrong costs USD 435 to put right, not USD 640.
Two exams booked separately cost USD 870. The same two exams booked as OGEA-103 cost USD 640. If you already hold TOGAF 9 Certified, the bridge takes you to Practitioner for USD 415 — USD 225 less than starting fresh.
No accredited course is required for any TOGAF exam. You may self-study, and many people do. Accredited training exists and is useful, but it is a choice, and it is the line item that varies by a factor of ten — from the price of the Standard and your own time, to four-figure classroom courses.
Vouchers are generally valid for twelve months, and each one carries its own expiry date. Buying a voucher during a promotion and sitting the exam a year and a half later is a way to pay twice.
| Cheapest useful outcome | USD 415 — the bridge, if you already hold TOGAF 9 Certified |
|---|---|
| Foundation only, self-studied | USD 435 plus your own time |
| Foundation and Practitioner, first time | USD 640 as OGEA-103 |
| The same, with one section resat | USD 1,075 |
| With an accredited classroom course | Four figures, and the exam fee becomes the small part |
The number people quote in conversation — «about two thousand» — is almost always a training course with the exam bundled in. The certification itself, if you are prepared to study on your own, is a few hundred dollars.
No. A retake is a new voucher at the same price. The saving available to you is passing first time.
No. Accredited training is optional for every exam in the portfolio. Self-study is explicitly allowed.
TOGAF 9 Foundation and TOGAF 9 Certified do not expire, and The Open Group has said so plainly. For the 10th Edition portfolio it publishes no recertification requirement and no renewal fee, so there is nothing recurring to budget for.
There is no published price in either. The fee is set in US dollars and converted when you pay, with local tax added where it applies.
Because it is one booking, one seat and one proctor instead of two. The exam itself is not easier — 150 minutes and both sections have to reach 60% independently.
No. The Body of Knowledge is available from The Open Group, and in the Part 2 exam an electronic copy is built into the exam itself.

At USD 435 a voucher, the difference between passing first time and paying twice is the whole argument for practising under exam conditions first. Our simulators run both parts the way The Open Group runs them — same question style, same clock, same pass mark.
