    What Does COBIT 5 Implementation Training Deliver?Your Route to IT Governance Leadership

    COBIT 5 Implementation certification training in Bahrain prepares IT governance professionals to apply the COBIT 5 Implementation (COBIT 5-I) approach and lead a governance improvement programme from first driver to sustained momentum. It is the intermediate level of the COBIT 5 scheme, sitting above Foundation and below Assessor, and it validates your ability to apply the seven-phase implementation lifecycle in real organisational scenarios. The course is built on the COBIT 5 framework and the COBIT 5 Implementation Exam Syllabus, 2022 version, with the examination delivered through PeopleCert. COBIT 5 Foundation is the required prerequisite, and the four topic areas cover the need for a governance framework, change enablement, programme management and continuous improvement. While COBIT 2019 is the current COBIT edition, the COBIT 5 Implementation credential remains widely held and recognised for governance programme leadership. With Bahrain's banks, telecoms and public sector under active Central Bank of Bahrain regulation and rapid digital transformation, credentialed governance leaders are in real demand. Start your COBIT 5 journey with Invensis Learning and turn framework knowledge into governance delivery.

    Exam

    It is an open-book, objective-testing exam of 4 questions, each worth 20 marks (80 marks total). Only the COBIT 5 Implementation book and the COBIT 5 Enabling Processes Guide are permitted. Questions require scenario-based analysis, not simple lookup.

    How long is the COBIT 5 Implementation exam?

    You have 2.5 hours (150 minutes) to complete the four questions. The exam is delivered online proctored through PeopleCert OnVUE or at a PeopleCert authorised test centre.

    What is the passing score for the COBIT 5 Implementation exam?

    The pass mark is 50%: you must achieve 40 marks or more out of the 80 available. Because it is open book, both efficient book navigation and genuine method knowledge are needed.

    Which books can I use during the exam?

    Only two: the COBIT 5 Implementation book and the COBIT 5 Enabling Processes Guide. No other materials are permitted. Our training includes technique for navigating both efficiently under timed conditions.

    Four topic areas: the need for a governance framework and the seven-phase implementation lifecycle; change enablement; programme management; and continuous improvement. Each is examined as one 20-mark question in the exam.

    What are the seven phases of the COBIT 5 implementation lifecycle?

    Phase 1: What are the drivers? Phase 2: Where are we now? Phase 3: Where do we want to be? Phase 4: What needs to be done? Phase 5: How do we get there? Phase 6: Did we get there? Phase 7: How do we keep the momentum going? It is a continuous cycle, not a one-off project.

    Do I need prior experience to take this course?

    You need COBIT 5 Foundation certification, since Implementation builds on it. Beyond that, no formal work experience is mandated, though the level suits practitioners who lead or support governance improvement. Foundation concepts are assumed and not re-taught.

    How long is the COBIT 5 Implementation training?

    The programme runs 16 hours, typically delivered as two full days or four half-days. It covers all four topic areas at application level and prepares you for the open-book exam.

    Is the courseware aligned to the current syllabus?

    Yes. The courseware is aligned to the COBIT 5 Implementation Exam Syllabus, 2022 version, based on the COBIT 5 framework. COBIT 2019 is the current COBIT edition, but the COBIT 5 Implementation credential remains widely recognised.
