    What COBIT 5 Implementation Certification Training Delivers in the UKUntitledFrom Framework Theory to Real Governance Change

    COBIT 5 Implementation Certification Training in the United Kingdom prepares IT governance professionals to plan and lead a governance improvement programme using the globally recognised COBIT 5 framework. COBIT 5 Implementation (COBIT 5-I) is the intermediate qualification in the COBIT 5 scheme, sitting above Foundation, and it validates your ability to apply the seven-phase implementation lifecycle in real organisational scenarios. Built around the COBIT 5 Implementation Exam Syllabus (2022 version) and delivered through PeopleCert, the credential covers the need for a governance framework, change enablement, programme management and continuous improvement. The exam is open book, with four scenario questions worth 20 marks each (80 marks in total), sat online or at a test centre. COBIT 5 Foundation is the prerequisite.

    Exam

    What is the format of the COBIT 5 Implementation exam?

    It is an open-book, objective test based on the COBIT 5 Implementation Exam Syllabus (2022 version). Only the COBIT 5 Implementation book and COBIT 5 Enabling Processes Guide are permitted. Questions require scenario-based analysis, so deep method knowledge still matters.

    How many questions are on the exam and how long is it?

    The exam has four questions, each worth 20 marks, for 80 marks in total, sat over two and a half hours (150 minutes). It is delivered online through PeopleCert OnVUE proctoring or at an authorised test centre.

    What is the passing score for COBIT 5 Implementation?

    COBIT 5 Foundation is the formal prerequisite, and no set work experience is required. The Implementation level is designed for practitioners who lead or support governance improvement, and the training assumes Foundation concepts rather than re-teaching them.

    What are the seven phases of the implementation lifecycle?

    The seven phases are: what are the drivers; where are we now; where do we want to be; what needs to be done; how do we get there; did we get there; and how do we keep the momentum going. The lifecycle is a continuous improvement cycle, not a one-off project.

    What learning resources are provided?
