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

    COBIT 5 Assessor is the highest-level qualification in the COBIT 5 certification scheme. It validates your ability to plan, conduct, rate and report formal process capability assessments using the COBIT 5 Process Assessment Model (PAM), which is aligned to ISO/IEC 15504.

    General

    What is the COBIT 5 Assessor certification?

    COBIT 5 Assessor is the highest-level qualification in the COBIT 5 certification scheme. It validates your ability to plan, conduct, rate and report formal process capability assessments using the COBIT 5 Process Assessment Model (PAM), which is aligned to ISO/IEC 15504.

    Who should take COBIT 5 Assessor training in Cyprus?

    The course is built for IT governance and audit professionals: IT auditors, GRC specialists, governance consultants and lead assessors who plan to conduct formal capability assessments. In Cyprus it suits professionals in banking, fintech, iGaming and professional services.

    Is the COBIT 5 Assessor certification recognised in Cyprus?

    Yes. COBIT is the globally recognised standard for IT governance, and the Assessor credential is delivered by PeopleCert, which operates in over 200 countries. It is valued by Cyprus employers across banking, fintech, iGaming and advisory firms.

    What are the prerequisites for the Assessor certification?

    COBIT 5 Foundation certification is required, and COBIT 5 Implementation is recommended. The Assessor exam assumes Foundation and Implementation knowledge, so both are built upon rather than retaught during the course.

    Is the COBIT 5 Assessor certification worth it?

    Yes, if you want specialist IT governance assessment roles. With DORA, MiCA and MiFID II raising assurance demand in Cyprus, certified assessors are scarce and sought after for IT audit, GRC and governance manager roles that command strong salary bands. Talk to a learning advisor to plan your route.

    Pricing

    How much does COBIT 5 Assessor training cost in Cyprus?

    Training fees vary by format and are available on request. Prices depend on whether you choose live virtual, onsite or corporate group delivery, and whether the PeopleCert exam voucher is bundled. Request a quote for pricing tailored to your needs.

    What is included in the course fee?

    The fee typically includes aligned courseware, case studies, mock questions, open-book exam technique and learner support. The PeopleCert exam voucher is often bundled with training. Confirm current inclusions when you request a quote.

    Is the exam fee included in the training price?

    The COBIT 5 Assessor exam is delivered by PeopleCert and may be bundled with training or purchased separately, depending on the package you choose. Ask a learning advisor which option includes the exam voucher.

    Do you offer corporate or group discounts?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for IT audit, GRC and governance teams. Contact us for a tailored group quote for your organisation in Cyprus.

    What payment options are available?

    We accept major credit and debit cards and bank transfers, and offer instalment options on selected plans. Speak with a learning advisor to choose the option that suits you.

    Exam

    What is the format of the COBIT 5 Assessor exam?

    The exam is an open-book, objective-testing paper delivered by PeopleCert, either through OnVUE online proctoring or at an authorised test centre. Only the COBIT 5 Assessor Guide: Using COBIT 5 and the COBIT Process Assessment Model are permitted.

    How many questions are in the exam and how long is it?

    The Assessor exam has 8 questions, each worth 10 marks, for a total of 80 marks. You have 2 and a half hours (150 minutes) to complete it. All 8 questions are scored.

    What is the passing score for the exam?

    The pass mark is 50 percent, so you need 40 marks or more out of the 80 available. Ratings and answers must be justified with evidence, so broad mastery across the five topic areas matters.

    Which books can I use in the open-book exam?

    Only two references are permitted: the COBIT 5 Assessor Guide: Using COBIT 5 and the COBIT Process Assessment Model. No other materials are allowed, so efficient navigation of these documents is a skill the course builds.

    What if I do not pass the exam on the first attempt?

    You can re-sit the exam through PeopleCert; the training includes mock questions and first-attempt guidance to help you prepare thoroughly. Confirm the current re-sit policy at peoplecert.org before you book.

    Course Content

    What topics does the COBIT 5 Assessor training cover?

    The programme covers five topic areas: an overview of COBIT 5 process assessment, the COBIT 5 PAM, capability levels and attributes, assessment planning and execution, and evidence, rating and reporting, all aligned to the 2024 syllabus.

    What is the COBIT 5 Process Assessment Model (PAM)?

    The PAM is the ISO/IEC 15504-aligned model used to assess COBIT 5 process capability. It has two dimensions: the process dimension (the 37 COBIT 5 processes) and the capability dimension (six levels from 0 Incomplete to 5 Optimising).

    Are practice questions and mock exams included?

    Yes. The programme includes scenario-based practice and mock questions mapped to the 8-question, open-book format, plus case studies, to help you identify weak areas and build readiness for the Assessor exam.

    Is the courseware aligned with the latest syllabus?

    Yes. The courseware is aligned to the COBIT 5 Assessor Exam Syllabus (2024 version), the COBIT 5 Assessor Guide and the COBIT Process Assessment Model, so you prepare against current exam content.

    Do I need prior COBIT knowledge before this course?

    Yes. COBIT 5 Foundation is assumed and required, and Implementation knowledge is recommended. The Assessor course builds on both levels and focuses on assessment at application and analysis level rather than reteaching the basics.

    Enrollment

    How do I enrol in the COBIT 5 Assessor course in Cyprus?

    You can enrol through the Invensis Learning website. Choose your preferred format, complete payment, and you will receive access to schedules, courseware and learning resources. See upcoming batches or talk to a learning advisor to get started.
