    Frequently Asked QuestionsHere's everything you may ask...

    COBIT 5 Foundation is the entry-level qualification that validates your knowledge of the COBIT 5 framework for the governance and management of enterprise IT. It suits IT governance, audit, risk and compliance professionals at any career stage, and has no formal prerequisites.

    General

    What is COBIT 5 Foundation and who is it for?

    COBIT 5 Foundation is the entry-level qualification that validates your knowledge of the COBIT 5 framework for the governance and management of enterprise IT. It suits IT governance, audit, risk and compliance professionals at any career stage, and has no formal prerequisites.

    What is COBIT 5?

    COBIT 5 is a comprehensive framework for the governance and management of enterprise IT, and the fifth edition of COBIT, published in 2012. It is built on five principles and seven enablers, covering 37 processes across five domains: EDM, APO, BAI, DSS and MEA.

    Is COBIT 5 Foundation recognised in Bermuda?

    Yes. COBIT is the globally recognised standard for IT governance, valued by Bermuda's insurers, reinsurers, banks and digital-asset firms, particularly as the Bermuda Monetary Authority sharpens its focus on cyber and IT governance.

    How does COBIT 5 relate to COBIT 2019?

    COBIT 5, published in 2012, is the predecessor to COBIT 2019. COBIT 2019 updates the framework with revised objectives and a more flexible design approach, but COBIT 5 Foundation remains valid and widely recognised, and organisations using COBIT 5 continue to hold the credential.

    What is the next step after COBIT 5 Foundation?

    COBIT 5 Foundation is the mandatory prerequisite for COBIT 5 Implementation, which applies the seven-phase implementation lifecycle, and COBIT 5 Assessor, which conducts formal process capability assessments. Foundation is the entry point to both.

    Pricing

    How much does COBIT 5 Foundation training cost in Bermuda?

    Pricing depends on the format you choose and whether the exam voucher is bundled. COBIT 5 Foundation is usually purchased as a combined training and exam package, and exact fees are available on request. Contact us for a quote or ask about group pricing.

    Is the exam fee included in the training price?

    It depends on the package. COBIT 5 Foundation is often sold as a training and exam bundle, though the exam can also be purchased separately through PeopleCert. Ask a learning advisor which option applies to your enrolment.

    Do you offer group or corporate discounts?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for IT, risk, audit and compliance teams. Ask about corporate or group pricing for a tailored quote.
