  2. Congratulations to The Open Group team !
    It denotes that the EA engagement around the world is growing.
    Is it possible to publish the entire ranking ?
    I am interessed on Brazil and LATAM growing rates.

    Thanks Mr. Andrew for this information and for your excellent job around Open Group Certification Program.

    1. We publish a larger ranking to members of The Open Group Architecture Forum periodically. Colombia is #26 with 78 certifications. Brazil is currently ranked #29 with 63 individual certifications. Peru is #39 with 16. Argentina has 6 and ranked #50. Chile is #51 with 5.

  3. Hi Andrew Josey,

    You have mentioned “TOGAF is being adopted globally. The top five countries include the UK, Netherlands, USA, Australia and South Africa” but as per your statistic India is in 5th position and South Africa is in 7.

  5. Thanks for this vital information. I am from Kenya where EA engagement is fairly at infancy. I have just certified on TOGAF 9 and I would be interested in knowing the numbers in Kenya and the rest of Africa other than south Africa.

    Thanks.

  6. Hi, can you please confirm number of foundation or certified professionals from Pakistan ?

    Thank you.

  7. How about a person of Indian origin passing this certification in the UK? Will it be counted in India or UK?

    1. Hi Ajay
      I believe just like any high rated certification like IBM is valid irrespective of location, same is applicable to TOGAF !
      Syed
      All the best though for your quest !

      1. Hi Syed

        Sorry for not being too clear. I meant to ask when a person of Indian nationality pass certification in the UK, the statistics like above will add him/her in India kitty or UK kitty?

        Thanks.
        Ajay
