For Individuals
COBIT 5 Assessor training helps experienced governance and audit professionals turn framework knowledge into specialist assessment capability. It suits IT auditors, GRC specialists and consultants who plan to conduct evidence-based process capability assessments. Whether you are formalizing your assessor role, moving up from COBIT 5 Implementation, or leading assessments in IT, financial services or the public sector, this training builds capability aligned with senior expectations.
If you want to stand at the top of the COBIT 5 qualification scheme with a credential employers trust, the Assessor level is the clear next step. You gain PAM fluency, exam readiness and a structured, supported path to certification.
For Organizations
COBIT 5 Assessor group training equips governance, audit and GRC teams to plan, conduct and report capability assessments in-house. The program can be delivered for audit functions, PMOs or IT governance groups. For organizations that need consistent, defensible measurement of IT governance capability, this training provides a scalable, flexible solution.
If your organization struggles to prove how well its IT governance processes perform, Assessor training creates a shared, ISO/IEC 15504-aligned assessment language. Teams gain a standardized approach to evidence, rating and reporting.
The COBIT 5 Assessor exam validates your ability to conduct structured process capability assessments using the COBIT 5 Process Assessment Model (PAM). The exam focuses on the COBIT 5 PAM, the 6 capability levels (0-5), the 9 process attributes (PA 1.1 through PA 5.2), the N/P/L/F rating scale, evidence-to-attribute mapping, and every stage of the assessment lifecycle (initiating, planning, data collection, validation, attribute rating, reporting). Through a combination of case-study questions (8 questions per paper with 10 marks per question), candidates are tested on their ability to apply COBIT 5 assessment principles in real-world enterprise IT assurance environments.
Note: Prices may vary depending on your location and delivery preferences. Reach out to our learning advisors for the exact pricing details.
