    How long is the exam and what is the passing score?

    You have two and a half hours (150 minutes). The pass mark is 50%, meaning 40 marks or more out of the 80 available. All four questions are scored, with no unscored pretest questions.

    How and where do I take the exam?

    Can I take this course without governance programme experience?

    You need COBIT 5 Foundation first, but no formal work experience is required. The Implementation level is designed for practitioners who lead or support governance improvement, and the training uses realistic scenarios and support to build applied capability.

    How long is the COBIT 5 Implementation training?

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