About the Course
This COBIT 5 Foundation Certification online course delivers comprehensive training on COBIT 5’s globally-accepted principles, tools, practices and models.
The COBIT 5 framework supports organizations in realizing business benefits through the effective and innovative utilization of IT. The framework provides formal mechanisms for the reliable and efficient application of technology. In turn, this delivers optimized costs and keeps the maintenance of IT-related risks at an acceptable level.
The course trains individuals to use metrics and maturity models that measure the success of IT and its alignment with business goals. The course also builds awareness of essential compliance issues, including relevant laws, regulations, contractual agreements and policies.
Passing the COBIT 5 Foundation exam is a prerequisite for achieving the COBIT 5 Implementation certification. Certification training focuses on applying the framework in practice.

Windows XP is no longer supported by its original vendor, Microsoft, but if your organization has internal policies that have extended the use of Windows XP, our LMS provider, Docebo, recommends that your PCs be migrated to MS Windows 8 or above at your earliest convenience.
