The Enterprise Architecture Applied Concepts course builds on the theory and practice that was presented in the Enterprise Architecture Basic Concepts (QB151) course, and extends your understanding of these concepts through hands-on exercises to develop Enterprise Architecture (EA) documentation (artifacts) at each level of the architecture framework. Nearly 50 artifact types are covered, and you will practice the development of several key artifacts (for example, SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) table, workflow diagram, data model, use case, system diagram, and network diagram). This course is the second course of the three course series. Taught over four days, each day consists of morning lectures, discussions, and afternoon hands-on documentation workshops. Those who complete the Enterprise Architecture Applied Concepts course will receive a completion certificate from IBM. Those who complete all three courses in the series (Enterprise Architecture Basic Concepts (QB151), Enterprise Architecture Applied Concepts (QB156) and Enterprise Architecture Advanced Concepts (QB161)), and who successfully pass the in-class exams, will also receive the Certified Enterprise Architect (CEA) designation and certificate from the International Enterprise Architecture Institute http://www.internationaleainstitute.org
