EA Fundamentals
Course Description:
This course provides an ideal introduction to Enterprise Architect. It is aimed at anyone who needs an overview of Enterprise Architect’s features and capabilities. With a practical focus this course provides delegates with the opportunity to use Enterprise Architect to produce UML requirements diagrams and domain models.
Prerequisites:
No prior Enterprise Architect experience is required.
Delegates should have knowledge of UML concepts and notation.
Equipment:
For on-site delivery the customer should provide a suitable training room with a screen or projector to connect to our trainer’s laptop and a whiteboard or flipchart. All delegates require a PC or laptop running Enterprise Architect.
For webinar delivery delegates require a PC or laptop running Enterprise Architect with an Internet connection (a headset can be helpful). If you wish to test your environment join a test WebEx meeting: www.webex.com/test-meeting.html
A trial version of Enterprise Architect is fine for training and can be downloaded from Sparx Systems website: www.sparxsystems.com/products/ea/trial.html. It is also helpful to have a mouse as this makes creating diagrams much easier.
Course Style:
45% theory, 55% practical.
Each module is accompanied by a hands-on exercise to allow delegates to apply the theory and become confident using Enterprise Architect.
Delegate Handouts:
Each delegate receives a folder containing all the course slides and comprehensive theory notes which form excellent reference material. Folders also contain exercises and suggested solutions. Following successful completion of the course each delegate receives a certificate.
