COBIT 5 Foundation Training Course in London

This is the official, 2-day COBIT 5 Foundation Course using content with the permission of ISACA and includes the official COBIT 5 Foundation exam from APMG in the final hour of the course, leading to the foundation certificate.

The course carefully explains the elements of the COBIT 5 framework using a case study and interactive presentations. The course will help professionals build their knowledge and understanding of the COBIT 5 guidance to be able to understand the governance and management of enterprise IT; create awareness with their business executives and senior IT management and assess the current state of their enterprise IT with the objective of scoping what aspects of COBIT 5 would be appropriate to implement.

Ideal training for senior IT managers and consultants

The course is aimed at Business management, Chief Executives and Managing Directors, IT/IS Auditors, Internal Auditors, Information Security and IT Practitioners, IT Consultants, IT/IS Management, and those looking to be certified as either a COBIT implementer or COBIT Assessor.
