Course details and modules

Enrolling on our enterprise architecture course is the first step towards gaining the strategic skills you need to align IT with business goals. You’ll focus on how to streamline processes, functions, and workflows, while also learning how to manage stakeholder engagement. What’s more, you’ll have access to a variety of resources to help you stay up-to-date with technological trends and developments as you study.

In this programme you study partially on your own and then get further instruction in the classroom sessions. I like that it’s independent but you still have guidance and can ask questions if you need clarification. The online learning aspect of the course has been excellent.
