What sets our programs and courses apart?
- Our Fantastic Track Record Over the Past 8 Years.
We have graduated over 1200 professional CEAs including a large number of the Chief Enterprise Architects in industry and across government (dozens), their architecture staffs and from the support contractor community. Over a thousand people have also attended our Enterprise Architecture training and TOGAF 9 courses which are the best training value anywhere – just check us out. - Intensive, Proven and Comprehensive Curriculum
We teach Enterprise Architecture as mandated and applied by the US Federal Government, covering an assortment of frameworks and methodologies in an intensive and comprehensive program, while remaining tool vendor neutral. - Hands-On Practicum Project, the Cornerstone of our Approach
Unique to FEAC™ is an EA practicum project requirement, providing a valuable, relevant and hands-on experience that enhances and reinforces the lectures and course work while also helping to develop important architect communication skill. Our students often bring back to their organizations an EA, that many of our CEAs describe as having 5 to 10 times the value of the investment. - Graduate Level Accreditation, Graduate Credits towards MS/PhD
FEAC™ alone has collaborated with major universities to offer graduate academic university credits (up to 16 graduate quarter credit hours) or included automatically are continuing education units (20 CEUs) for each of our certification programs. - TOGAF 8 Training in context of overall program
Achieving the Green Belt Certificate or the full Black Belt Certification automatically, with payment of the Open Group’s fee, enables award of TOGAF 8 Certification. This means that for TOGAF 9 FEAC grads only have to prepare for the bridging test. - TOGAF 9 Training Provider in the US, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Spain and many other countries

Included at no charge are 200 PDU (Professional Development Units) for Certified Enterprise Architects (less for EA Short and TOGAF courses) for maintaining their PMI PMP Certification. Our program also qualifies students for the educational requirement to take the PMI exam. - Accomplished Faculty and Instructors - SEE BELOW
