The Introduction of COBIT version 5 - status update
The precise approach and content of COBIT 5 is currently under development by ISACA, and will hopefully go live early in 2012; training will be available later in 2012 with dates still to be finalised.
Training paths being considered will include additional certificates and a formal assessor certification.
We at IT Governance Ltd, plan to offer foundation, implementation and assessment-level training in COBIT 5, readying the delegate for the official ISACA examination.
ISACA are considering if there will be a transition course from COBIT 4.1 to COBIT 5, as COBIT 5 is significantly different – there should be an announcement on this shortly!
However, IT Governance will be offering COBIT 5 seminar days to familiarise the holders of COBIT 4.1 with new syllabus, as soon as it is released by ISACA - in advance of the full COBIT 5 training courses being launched.
Until COBIT 5 is fully understood and embraced,
ISACA will continue to support COBIT 4.1.
