    What Is the COBIT 5 Assessor Certification?UntitledYour Route to Specialist Assessor Status

    COBIT 5 Assessor certification training in Latvia equips IT governance and audit professionals to plan, conduct, rate and report formal process capability assessments. The COBIT 5 Assessor (COBIT 5-A) credential is the highest level of the COBIT 5 qualification scheme, built on the COBIT 5 framework and the COBIT 5 Assessor Exam Syllabus (2024 version). The course centres on the COBIT 5 Process Assessment Model (PAM), which is aligned to ISO/IEC 15504, together with the six capability levels and nine process attributes used to rate each assessed process. You learn to gather evidence, apply the four-point rating scale and produce a defensible assessment report, with the open-book PeopleCert exam as your goal. With DORA and the National Cybersecurity Law raising the bar for IT assurance across Latvia's banks, fintechs and global business services centres in Riga, employers increasingly value assessors who can measure governance capability objectively.

    General

    What is the COBIT 5 Assessor certification?

    COBIT 5 Assessor is the highest-level qualification in the COBIT 5 scheme. It validates your ability to plan, conduct, rate and report formal process capability assessments using the COBIT 5 Process Assessment Model (PAM), which is aligned to ISO/IEC 15504.

    Who should take COBIT 5 Assessor training in Latvia?

    It suits IT auditors, IT governance consultants, GRC specialists and governance managers who conduct or lead capability assessments. In Latvia it is especially relevant to banks, fintechs and Riga's global business services centres facing DORA and NIS2 assurance demands.

    Why choose Invensis Learning for this training?

    Invensis Learning is a PeopleCert Authorized Training Provider delivering the 16-hour COBIT 5 Assessor course. You get PeopleCert-authorised trainers, aligned courseware, practice questions and flexible live virtual, onsite or one-to-one delivery.

    Is the Assessor credential recognised internationally?

    Yes. COBIT is the globally recognised standard for IT governance, and the Assessor level is its highest specialist qualification. The exam is delivered by PeopleCert, which operates in over 200 countries, so the credential travels well across the EU and beyond.

    What are the prerequisites for COBIT 5 Assessor?

    COBIT 5 Foundation certification is required, and COBIT 5 Implementation is recommended before the Assessor level. The Assessor course assumes Foundation and Implementation knowledge and does not reteach it.

    Pricing

    How much does COBIT 5 Assessor training cost in Latvia?

    Fees are quoted in euros and are available on request, as pricing varies by delivery format and whether the PeopleCert exam is bundled. Request a quote and a learning advisor will confirm the current price for your chosen format.

    What is included in the course fee?

    The training fee typically includes aligned courseware, case studies, mock questions, learner support and a course completion certificate. Many packages also include the PeopleCert Assessor exam voucher; confirm this when you enrol.

    Is the exam fee included in the training price?

    It depends on the package. PeopleCert bills the exam separately unless it is bundled into your training. Ask about a combined training and exam option, and talk to a learning advisor for the current figures.

    Do you offer corporate or group discounts?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for internal audit, GRC and governance teams. Contact us for a tailored group quote.

    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 Assessor exam?

    It is an open-book, objective examination of 8 questions, each worth 10 marks, for a total of 80 marks. Only the COBIT 5 Assessor Guide: Using COBIT 5 and the COBIT Process Assessment Model are permitted during the exam.

    How many questions are there and how long is the exam?

    The exam has 8 questions worth 80 marks in total, and you have 2 and a half hours (150 minutes) to complete it. It is based on the COBIT 5 Assessor Exam Syllabus (2024 version).

    What is the passing score for the exam?

    The pass mark is 50%, so you need 40 marks or more out of the 80 available. Questions require specialist analysis and professional judgement, so efficient use of the open-book materials matters.

    How is the exam delivered in Latvia?

    You can sit it online through PeopleCert's OnVUE proctoring, available 24/7, or at a PeopleCert authorised test centre. Both options use the same open-book format and permitted materials.

    What can I bring into the open-book exam?

    Only two references are allowed: the COBIT 5 Assessor Guide: Using COBIT 5 and the COBIT Process Assessment Model. No other materials are permitted, so practising fast navigation of both is part of the preparation.

    What if I do not pass on the first attempt?

    You can resit the exam through PeopleCert; verify the current resit policy and any fee at peoplecert.org. Our trainers provide guidance and mock questions to help you prepare thoroughly for a first-time pass.

    Course Content

    What will I learn in the COBIT 5 Assessor course?

    You learn to plan, conduct, rate and report formal capability assessments. The course covers the PAM, the six capability levels, the nine process attributes, the four-point rating scale, evidence management and assessment reporting.

    What does the COBIT 5 PAM cover?

    The Process Assessment Model has two dimensions: the process dimension (the 37 COBIT 5 processes that define what is assessed) and the capability dimension (six levels from 0 Incomplete to 5 Optimising that define how well each is performed).

    What are the six capability levels?

    They are Level 0 Incomplete, Level 1 Performed, Level 2 Managed, Level 3 Established, Level 4 Predictable and Level 5 Optimising. Each is assessed through process attributes and the four-point rating scale.

    What is the four-point rating scale?

    Attributes are rated Not Achieved (0 to 15%), Partially Achieved (15 to 50%), Largely Achieved (50 to 85%) or Fully Achieved (85 to 100%). The pattern of attribute ratings determines the overall capability level for each process.

    How long is the training and what materials are provided?

    The programme runs for 16 hours, typically over two days, and can be delivered full-day or half-day. You receive aligned courseware, realistic case studies, mock questions and learner support throughout.

    Enrollment

    Do I need prior certification to enrol in the training?

    Anyone can attend the training, but to sit the exam you must hold COBIT 5 Foundation, with Implementation recommended. If you are working towards the full scheme, an advisor can help you plan the right order.

    How do I enrol in the course?

    Enrol through the Invensis Learning website. Choose your preferred format, complete payment, and you receive access to schedules, courseware and learning resources. Talk to a learning advisor if you need help choosing.

    What training formats are available online and in person?

    We offer live virtual (online) instructor-led training, onsite classroom training, one-to-one sessions and customised corporate group training, so you can pick the format that fits your schedule in Latvia.

    Can I reschedule or transfer to another batch?

    Yes. Flexi options let you reschedule or move to another batch, and selected plans let you attend the training twice. Contact support to arrange a change.

    What is the refund or cancellation policy?

    Refunds and cancellations follow our published policy, and selected plans include a money-back option. Reach out to our team for the details that apply to your enrolment.
