TOGAF 9 Certified

Part 2 · OG0-092

TOGAF 9 Certified is The Open Group's Level 2 credential — the standard most enterprise-architect roles list as a hard requirement. You earn it by passing the Part 2 exam (OG0-092), an open-book, scenario-based test of how well you apply the Architecture Development Method, not just recall it. A stalled certification can hold up a promotion, a consulting engagement, or a job offer. This page breaks down exactly what Part 2 tests, how it's scored, and how to clear it the first time.

EXAM FORMAT

How the TOGAF 9 Part 2 exam is built — at a glance

8

Scenario Questions

Each question opens with a paragraph of business context, then asks how a TOGAF architect should respond. You apply the framework to the situation rather than recall a definition.

5/3/1/0

Gradient Scoring

Most options are partly right. The best answer scores 5 points, the next 3, the third 1, and the clearly wrong distractor 0 — so you pick the strongest of several plausible choices.

24/40

Pass Threshold

Maximum 40 points across the 8 scenarios; you need 24 or more (60%) to pass. The result is reported as pass or fail — there is no numeric score printed on your certificate.

Timing & the open book

You get 90 minutes for 8 scenarios — roughly 11 minutes each. An electronic copy of the TOGAF Standard is built into the exam, but there is no time to read it cover to cover. The reference is there to confirm a detail you already half-know, not to learn the framework on the spot. Candidates sitting the exam in a non-native language are commonly granted extra time.

Part 2 in the bigger picture

TOGAF 9 Certified (Level 2) is awarded only when you hold both Part 1 (Foundation) and Part 2. This page covers Part 2 — the scenario exam that proves you can apply the method. If you have not yet cleared Foundation, you can take Part 1 first, then sit Part 2, or take a combined sitting where both are scheduled together.

WHAT'S TESTED

The scenarios draw on the full Level 2 learning outcomes — applied, not memorised

1

Architecture Development Method

Applying the ADM phases (Preliminary through H) to a scenario — choosing the right phase, deliverable, and technique for the situation described.

2

Adapting & scoping the ADM

Tailoring the method to an organisation — iteration, levels of architecture, security and SOA considerations, and how to scope an engagement.

3

Architecture Content & deliverables

The content framework, building blocks (ABBs/SBBs), and the key deliverables — Architecture Definition Document, Roadmap, Requirements, and more.

4

Architecture Governance

Establishing and running governance — the Architecture Board, contracts, compliance reviews, and capability — so architecture stays aligned with the business.

5

Stakeholders & views

Stakeholder management, views and viewpoints, the Architecture Repository, and the Enterprise Continuum used to organise and reuse assets.

6

Migration planning & risk

Transition architectures, the Implementation and Migration Plan, gap analysis, business value, and managing risk across the change.

The Part 2 syllabus is not broken into fixed percentage weights — instead, each of the 8 scenarios can touch any part of the Level 2 outcomes. That breadth is exactly why so many candidates know the framework yet still pick the second-best answer under time pressure.

DELIVERY & PROCTORING

Two ways to sit the exam — and what to expect on test day

At a Pearson VUE test center

The Open Group delivers TOGAF exams through Pearson VUE. At a center, staff verify your government-issued ID, store your belongings, and monitor the room while you work on a provided workstation. The open-book TOGAF Standard is on-screen — no printed materials are allowed in the room.

Online, proctored via OnVUE

You can take Part 2 from home through Pearson VUE OnVUE remote proctoring. A proctor checks your ID, runs a 360° webcam scan of the room, and monitors you for the full session. You need a quiet private space, a working webcam and microphone, and a stable connection — and the room must stay clear of notes and devices.

ID & identity check

A valid, unexpired government photo ID with a name matching your Pearson VUE booking exactly. The proctor captures a photo before the exam unlocks.

Environment scan

A clear desk, no second monitor, no phone within reach, no printed notes. Because the exam is open book on-screen, outside reference material is strictly prohibited.

During the exam

Stay in frame and on-camera the whole time. There are no scheduled breaks in the 90 minutes. Leaving the seat, talking aloud, or losing connection can flag the session.

WHO SHOULD TAKE THIS

TOGAF Certified is the baseline credential for enterprise architecture roles

  • Enterprise, solution, and domain architects
  • Technical and IT leads moving into architecture
  • Consultants who need TOGAF for client engagements
  • Programme and portfolio leads owning architecture
  • Anyone already holding TOGAF 9 Foundation

PREREQUISITES & DIFFICULTY

Part 1 is required first — and Part 2 is the harder half

  • Must hold TOGAF 9 Foundation, or pass Part 1 first
  • Solid working knowledge of the ADM phases
  • Familiarity with where topics live in the standard
  • Comfort reading dense English business scenarios

Difficulty: Part 2 trips up well-prepared candidates because the gradient scoring rewards judgement, not recall — several options "work," and you have to find the one most aligned with TOGAF best practice. Add 90 minutes for 8 dense scenarios and an open book you cannot lean on, and the result is a genuinely demanding exam. That pressure point is exactly what our help is designed to remove.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Straight answers about the TOGAF 9 Certified (Part 2) exam

Is TOGAF 9 Certified the same as the Part 2 exam? +
TOGAF 9 Certified (Level 2) is awarded once you pass both the Part 1 (Foundation) and Part 2 exams. This page covers the Part 2 exam — OG0-092 — the scenario-based component that takes you from Foundation to full Certified. You must already hold TOGAF 9 Foundation, or pass Part 1 first on the same day, before the Part 2 result counts toward Certified.
What is the pass mark for the TOGAF 9 Part 2 exam? +
The pass mark is 60 percent. The exam has 8 scenario questions scored on a gradient — the best answer earns 5 points, the next 3, the third 1, and the distractor 0 — for a maximum of 40 points. You need 24 or more points out of 40 to pass. There is no separate numeric score on your certificate; the result is simply pass or fail.
Is the TOGAF 9 Part 2 exam open book? +
Yes. Part 2 is open book — an electronic copy of the TOGAF Standard is built into the exam interface for you to reference. The catch is time: with only 90 minutes for 8 dense scenarios, you cannot read the whole standard during the test. The open book rewards candidates who already know where things live in the ADM and can confirm details quickly, not those reading from scratch.
Can I take the TOGAF 9 Part 2 exam online from home? +
Yes. The Open Group delivers the exam through Pearson VUE, both at authorized test centers and online via OnVUE remote proctoring. The OnVUE version is taken from a private room at home, with an ID check, a webcam room scan, and a live or AI proctor monitoring the session. You need a quiet space, a working webcam and microphone, and a stable connection.
How long are TOGAF 9 certifications valid? +
TOGAF 9 certifications do not expire and there is no recertification requirement — once you are TOGAF 9 Certified, the credential stays on your record in The Open Group's certification register. Note that The Open Group has since released newer editions of the TOGAF Standard, so some employers may prefer or also ask about the latest version.
How hard is the TOGAF 9 Part 2 exam? +
Part 2 is considered the harder half of TOGAF certification. The gradient scoring is the trap: most answer options are partially correct, so you are picking the best response among several plausible ones rather than spotting one right answer. It tests applied judgement about the ADM, governance, and stakeholder management under tight time pressure — which is exactly where structured preparation pays off.
Do I pay Exam Assist before or after I see my TOGAF result? +
You settle only after your verified passing result is confirmed. There is no upfront fee — you share your exam details, receive an honest feasibility answer, and decide before any money changes hands. We advertise a guaranteed pass with money back if you do not pass; we offer a transparent, results-first arrangement.
