A Specialist Edge in IT Governance
For Individuals
COBIT 5 Assessor training helps experienced IT governance and audit professionals move beyond reviews into formal, evidence-based capability assessment. The credential suits IT auditors, GRC specialists and governance consultants who want to measure and report process maturity using the COBIT 5 PAM. Whether you are formalising your assessment practice, stepping up to lead assessments, or completing the COBIT 5 scheme after Foundation and Implementation, this training builds skills aligned to senior assurance expectations.
If you want a globally recognised, ISO/IEC 15504-aligned assessment credential that employers across New Zealand value, COBIT 5 Assessor is a clear next step. You gain the PAM knowledge, rating technique and reporting skill to lead assessments with confidence.
For Organizations
COBIT 5 Assessor group training helps organisations build an in-house capability to assess IT governance maturity against a recognised standard. Teams learn to plan, conduct and report ISO/IEC 15504-aligned assessments using the COBIT 5 PAM. For PMOs, internal audit functions and governance teams, the training creates a consistent, evidence-based approach to measuring and improving process capability.
If your organisation needs to demonstrate governance maturity to boards, auditors or regulators, COBIT 5 Assessor training gives your team a shared, defensible assessment method. It supports compliance, benchmarking and continuous improvement across business units.
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.

Initiate and scope assessments using the goals cascade, select the Lead Assessor and Competency Assessors, and build the assessment plan, schedule and instruments before fieldwork begins.
Collect evidence through interviews, document review and observation, and record it with full traceability to Base Practices, Generic Practices and process attributes as an auditable trail.
Apply attribute ratings from collected evidence, run assessor consensus meetings, manage disagreement, and derive defensible capability profiles for each assessed process.
