    Skills You Will Build in COBIT 5 Foundation

    Governance Capability You Can Apply

    This COBIT 5 Foundation programme helps you build the framework knowledge and governance vocabulary the exam expects. By the end, you can explain the principles, enablers, process model and goals cascade, and apply them to real IT governance situations.

    Understand the COBIT 5 Framework

    Explain what COBIT 5 is, why IT governance matters, and how it integrates frameworks such as ITIL, TOGAF and ISO standards into a single model for the governance and management of enterprise IT.

    Apply the Five COBIT 5 Principles

    Work with the five principles, from meeting stakeholder needs and covering the enterprise end-to-end to applying a single integrated framework, enabling a holistic approach and separating governance from management.

    Work with the Seven Enablers

    Navigate the Process Reference Model
