    The Governance Skills You Will BuildFrom Drivers to Sustained Maturity

    This programme builds the applied governance improvement skills the COBIT 5 Implementation exam and real leadership roles expect. By the end, you can plan, deliver and sustain a governance improvement programme in a real organisational setting.

    Make the Case for Governance

    Skills covered in COBIT 5 Implementation begin here: identify the business, risk and compliance drivers behind governance improvement, quantify the cost of weak governance, and build a compelling business case that secures executive sponsorship.

    Run the Seven-Phase Lifecycle

    Apply the full COBIT 5 implementation lifecycle, from identifying drivers and assessing current capability through target state, roadmap, implementation, outcome evaluation and sustaining momentum, using the goals cascade to prioritise.

    Lead Change Enablement

    Apply the five-component change enablement cycle of awareness, desire, knowledge, ability and reinforcement. Run stakeholder analysis, plan communication and manage resistance so governance change actually takes hold.

    Manage the Improvement Programme

    Structure and govern the improvement programme: define roles and the programme office, build the roadmap, prioritise initiatives, track progress and manage benefits realisation and interdependencies to keep delivery on course.

    Embed Continuous Improvement

    Turn governance from a one-off project into an ongoing discipline. Use assessment results to drive successive cycles, sustain maturity through change, and build in-house capability so the organisation can self-improve.

    Master Open-Book Exam Technique

    Navigate the COBIT 5 Implementation book and COBIT 5 Enabling Processes Guide efficiently under timed conditions, and practise the scenario-based analysis the four-question, open-book exam demands.

    How long is the exam and what is the pass mark?

    You have 2 and a half hours (150 minutes). The pass mark is 50%, meaning 40 marks or more out of the 80 available. Questions are scenario-based and require applied judgement, not just recall.

    How and where do I sit the exam?

    Four topic areas, each a marked question: the need for a governance framework and the implementation lifecycle; change enablement; programme management; and continuous improvement. All are examined at application level using the 2022 syllabus.

    What if I do not pass on the first attempt?

    You can resit the Implementation exam. Retake policy and any fees are set by PeopleCert, so verify the current re-sit terms before booking. Our training and mock exams are designed to prepare you to pass first time.

    Course Content

    Can I take this course if I am new to governance implementation?

    You should already hold COBIT 5 Foundation, since it is the prerequisite and its concepts are assumed. Beyond that, the course builds implementation skills from the ground up, with case studies and practice that suit first-time programme leads.

    What will I learn in the COBIT 5 Implementation course?

    You will learn to build the governance business case, run the seven-phase implementation lifecycle, lead change enablement, manage the improvement programme, embed continuous improvement, and apply efficient open-book exam technique.

    How long is the training?

    The programme runs for 16 hours of instructor-led training, delivered either as two full days or four half-days depending on the schedule. It covers all four topic areas at application level.

    What learning materials are provided?

    You receive courseware aligned to the 2022 syllabus, industry case studies illustrating the implementation lifecycle and change enablement, practice questions and mock exams, plus first-attempt exam guidance.

    Is the courseware aligned to the current syllabus?

    Yes. The courseware is aligned to the COBIT 5 Implementation Exam Syllabus (2022 version) and references the COBIT 5 Implementation book and COBIT 5 Enabling Processes Guide used in the open-book exam.
