    General

    What is the COBIT 5 Implementation certification?

    COBIT 5 Implementation is the intermediate-level qualification in the COBIT 5 scheme. It validates your ability to apply the COBIT 5 framework to plan and manage an IT governance improvement programme, covering the seven-phase implementation lifecycle, change enablement, programme management and continuous improvement.

    Who should take COBIT 5 Implementation training?

    It suits IT governance managers, GRC and compliance professionals, IT auditors, consultants, and CIOs or IT leaders driving governance improvement. It is designed for COBIT 5 Foundation holders who want to lead implementation rather than only understand the framework.

    Is COBIT 5 Implementation recognised in India?

    Yes. COBIT is the globally recognised framework for enterprise IT governance, and the Implementation credential is valued by employers across India, including IT services firms, GCCs, BFSI, consulting and public-sector organisations under RBI, SEBI and DPDP obligations.

    Is COBIT 5 Implementation worth it for my career?

    Yes. IT governance roles in India average around 27 lakh a year, with senior bands far higher, and certifications are linked to pay premiums of 13 to 27 percent. As governance rises to board level, certified implementers are in demand. Talk to a learning advisor to plan your path.

    What are the prerequisites for COBIT 5 Implementation?

    COBIT 5 Foundation certification is required. Candidates who do not hold Foundation must take and pass it before sitting the Implementation exam, as Foundation knowledge of the principles, enablers and process reference model is assumed throughout.

    Pricing

    What is included in the COBIT 5 Implementation course fee?

    The training fee typically includes instructor-led sessions, syllabus-aligned courseware, scenario-based mock questions, open-book exam technique practice and learner support. Exam voucher inclusion varies by package. Request a quote to confirm what your plan covers.

    How much does COBIT 5 Implementation training cost in India?

    Pricing varies by delivery format, batch and inclusions, so it is available on request. The PeopleCert exam fee is billed separately in USD under regional pricing and is not part of the training fee. Contact us for a tailored quote.

    Is the exam fee included in the training price?

    Not always. The COBIT 5 Implementation exam is delivered by PeopleCert and priced separately by region and channel. Some training packages bundle the exam voucher while others do not, so confirm inclusion when you enrol.

    Do you offer corporate or group discounts?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for governance, GRC and IT leadership teams. Ask about corporate or group pricing for a quote tailored to your team size.

    What payment options are available?

    We accept major credit and debit cards and bank transfers, and offer instalment options on selected plans. Speak with a learning advisor to choose the option that suits you.

    Exam

    What is the format of the COBIT 5 Implementation exam?

    The exam has four objective test questions, each worth 20 marks, for 80 marks in total. It is an open-book exam that permits only the COBIT 5 Implementation book and the COBIT 5 Enabling Processes Guide, and questions require scenario-based analysis.

    How long is the COBIT 5 Implementation exam?

    You have two and a half hours (150 minutes) to complete the exam. Because it is open book with only four scenario questions, efficient navigation of the permitted materials and sound judgment both matter under the time limit.

    What is the passing score for the exam?

    The pass mark is 50 percent, which means 40 marks or more out of the 80 available. Each of the four questions carries 20 marks, so broad command across all topic areas is important.

    Which books are allowed in the open-book exam?

    Only two references are permitted: the COBIT 5 Implementation book and the COBIT 5 Enabling Processes Guide. No other materials are allowed, so training includes practice in navigating both efficiently under exam conditions.

    How is the COBIT 5 Implementation exam delivered?

    The exam is delivered by PeopleCert, either through OnVUE online proctoring available around the clock or at authorised test centres. You can sit it from home or office, or at a centre convenient to you in India.

    What if I do not pass the first time?

    You can re-sit the exam through PeopleCert; verify the current re-sit policy and any fee at peoplecert.org. Our training includes scenario-based mocks and open-book technique practice to help you prepare thoroughly for your first attempt.

    Course Content

    What topics does COBIT 5 Implementation training cover?

    The programme covers four topic areas: the need for a governance framework and the seven-phase implementation lifecycle, change enablement, programme management, and continuous improvement, all aligned to the COBIT 5 Implementation Exam Syllabus (2022 version).

    What are the seven phases of the COBIT 5 implementation lifecycle?

    The 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.

    Do I need COBIT 5 Foundation before this course?

    Yes. COBIT 5 Foundation is the mandatory prerequisite and its concepts are assumed, not re-taught. If you do not yet hold Foundation, complete it first so you can focus on applying the framework during Implementation training.

    Is the courseware aligned to the latest syllabus?

    Yes. The courseware is aligned to the COBIT 5 Implementation Exam Syllabus (2022 version), built on the COBIT 5 framework, so what you learn maps directly to the four examined topic areas and the open-book format.

    Are mock exams and practice questions included?

    Yes. The programme includes scenario-based practice questions and mock assessments mapped to the four-question, open-book format, helping you identify weak areas and build confidence before exam day.

    Enrollment

    How do I enrol in the COBIT 5 Implementation course?

    You can enrol through the Invensis Learning website. Choose your preferred format, complete payment, and you will receive access to schedules, courseware and learning resources. Confirm you hold COBIT 5 Foundation before booking your exam.

    What training formats are available?

    We offer online (live virtual) instructor-led training, classroom sessions and customised corporate group training. Choose the format that fits your schedule, whether you prefer guided live learning or an onsite programme for your team.

    How long is the COBIT 5 Implementation training?

    The programme runs for 16 hours, typically delivered as two full days or four half-days depending on the schedule. It covers all four topic areas at application level and prepares you for the open-book exam.

    Can I reschedule or transfer my batch?

    Yes. Flexi options let you reschedule or transfer to another batch, and selected plans allow you to attend the training twice. Contact our support team to arrange a change that suits you.

    What is the refund or cancellation policy?

    Refunds and cancellations are handled per our published policy, and selected plans include a money-back option. Reach out to our team for the details that apply to your enrolment before you book.
