    Exam

    What is the format of the COBIT 5 Assessor exam?

    It is an open-book, objective exam based on the COBIT 5 Assessor Exam Syllabus (2024 version). Only the COBIT 5 Assessor Guide: Using COBIT 5 and the COBIT Process Assessment Model are permitted. Questions require professional judgement in realistic assessment scenarios.

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

    The exam has 8 questions, each worth 10 marks, for 80 marks in total, and you have 2.5 hours (150 minutes). All 8 questions are scored, covering the five Assessor topic areas.

    What is the passing score for COBIT 5 Assessor?

    The pass mark is 50%, so you need 40 marks or more out of the 80 available. Because it is open book, efficient navigation of the Assessor Guide and the PAM matters as much as knowledge.

    How and where is the exam delivered?

    The exam is delivered through PeopleCert, either online proctored via the OnVUE system, available 24/7, or at PeopleCert authorised test centres. You can sit it from Guatemala using online proctoring.

    The six capability levels run from Level 0 Incomplete through Performed, Managed, Established, Predictable to Level 5 Optimising. The nine process attributes span PA 1.1 Process Performance to PA 5.2 Process Optimisation, each rated on a four-point scale.

    Do I need prior experience or COBIT knowledge?

    You must hold COBIT 5 Foundation, and Implementation is recommended. Practical IT audit or governance experience helps, since the exam requires professional judgement, but the course teaches the assessment method step by step.

    What materials and practice are provided?

    You receive syllabus-aligned courseware, case studies, and scenario-based mock questions mapped to the open-book exam format. Practice focuses on evidence gathering, rating with the four-point scale and reporting capability profiles.

    Yes. After completing the training you receive a course completion certificate. The COBIT 5 Assessor credential itself is awarded by PeopleCert once you pass the Assessor exam.
