    What You Will Master as a COBIT 5 AssessorSkills You Apply on Real Assessments

    COBIT 5 Assessor training builds the specialist ability to plan, conduct, rate and report formal IT process capability assessments. By the end, you can apply the COBIT 5 PAM and the ISO/IEC 15504 method to measure governance and drive improvement.

    The COBIT 5 Process Assessment Model

    The Four-Point Rating Scale

    Apply the Not Achieved, Partially, Largely and Fully Achieved scale consistently, anchor every rating in evidence, and manage the over-rating and under-rating that undermine assessment credibility.

    Planning and Running an Assessment

    Scope an assessment with the goals cascade, build the assessor team, and gather evidence through interviews, document review and observation before reaching rating consensus with your team.

    Evidence, Reporting and Improvement

    Maintain a traceable evidence record, produce PAM-compliant capability profiles, and write assessment reports that translate findings into prioritised improvement actions for leadership.

    Open-Book Exam Technique

    Navigate the COBIT 5 Assessor Guide and the Process Assessment Model efficiently under timed conditions, and practise the scenario-based, 8-question exam format used by PeopleCert.
