Welcome to The Open Group and thank you for choosing to deliver a training course about our standard.

Whether you wish to include a first Accredited Training Course or add an Accredited Training Course to your portfolio, the same approach applies; the legal documents that need to be signed and the fees are different though.

The Open Group training course accreditation like any other is built upon 3 components of compliance:

  • Procedures
  • Courseware
  • Trainers

The Accreditation Team will take you through the process step-by-step.
