The TEAF training and certification platform is live
Real lessons, exercises, a quiz graded 100% deterministically, and a “TEAF Light” attestation for all five TEAF roles: how the platform works, what it isn't, and how to request access.

The TEAF training and certification platform is live. It's the direct follow-up to what I announced in the article on first public testimonials and training in preparation: the five roles TEAF defines — Architecture Owner, Decision Steward, AI Control Officer, Capability Owner, Compliance Liaison — stop being theoretical definitions in a book and become concrete learning paths, with real lesson content, exercises, a graded quiz and an attestation. This article announces the launch and explains how to access it — it doesn't duplicate the platform's own content.
What the platform offers
Each of the five roles has its own dedicated path: real lesson content (not a few summary lines), practical exercises, and a graded quiz at the end of the path. Quiz scoring is entirely deterministic — a fixed rubric, applied mechanically, with no language model or machine-learning component anywhere in the grading loop. A candidate who completes a path receives a "TEAF Light" attestation, with a printable certificate and a verification code unique to that attestation.
What it isn't: not an accredited certification
It's worth being explicit about what this attestation represents, and what it doesn't. The TEAF Light attestation is self-issued by the platform and validated locally, within the framework — it is never an accredited professional certification issued by a third-party body, a professional order or a recognized certifying authority. I'd rather say that plainly than let a candidate misread the value of the document: it's evidence of competence against the TEAF reference framework, not a diploma or a professional license.
How to access it today
Access isn't open self-registration. The platform relies on access control that only lets in email addresses the organization has explicitly allow-listed — a candidate can't simply create an account on their own. At this stage, access stays limited to candidates the organization judges relevant, based on an initial conversation rather than an open sign-up. Once selected, access is free: there's no tuition and no certification fee. To request access, use the site's contact form — that's the channel I use for any request of this kind, including this one.
Several roles, one account
A candidate isn't limited to a single one of the five roles. The same account lets you pursue several paths — useful for a consultant or architect who covers more than one TEAF function on the same engagement, or for an organization that wants the same person certified on two complementary roles, for example Architecture Owner and Decision Steward.
Verifying an attestation, no account needed
A TEAF Light attestation issued by the platform can be verified publicly, by anyone, from its verification code — without needing an account on the platform. It's designed so a client, a recruiter or a partner can confirm that an attestation being presented is genuine, without relying on a manual exchange or blind trust in a PDF.
Where the platform actually lives
The platform itself lives on temporal-architecture.com, the TEAF framework's own site — not here. This article is only an announcement: it doesn't replicate the platform on architecture-strategique-ia.com, it points to where it actually exists.
- The TEAF training and certification platform is live, on temporal-architecture.com — real lessons, exercises, a quiz graded 100% deterministically (no LLM, no machine learning) and a "TEAF Light" attestation.
- The attestation is self-issued and validated locally — it is never presented as an accredited professional certification.
- Access currently stays limited to candidates the organization judges relevant, not open self-registration — and it's free once selected. Request access through the contact form.
- One account can pursue several of the five roles, and any attestation can be verified publicly by its code, with no account needed.
