    The Assessment Skills You Will BuildAcross the Five COBIT 5 Assessor Topic Areas

    This programme takes you from framework knowledge to assessment competency at application and analysis level. By the end, you can plan an assessment, rate capability against evidence, and report findings that withstand scrutiny.

    Run Formal Process Capability Assessments

    Skills covered in COBIT 5 Assessor start here: plan, scope and conduct a formal assessment end to end, from initiation and sponsorship to team selection, scheduling and consensus, using the goals cascade to justify scope.

    Apply the COBIT 5 Process Assessment Model

    Work confidently with the two-dimensional PAM: the process dimension across the 37 COBIT 5 processes, base practices, work products, generic practices and process profiles that anchor every rating.

    Rate the Six Capability Levels

    Apply the six capability levels, from Level 0 Incomplete to Level 5 Optimising, and the nine process attributes (PA 1.1 to PA 5.2), deriving an overall level from attribute ratings with the correct threshold rules.

    Use the Four-Point Rating Scale

    Apply Not Achieved, Partially Achieved, Largely Achieved and Fully Achieved consistently against collected evidence, managing over-rating, under-rating and assessor subjectivity through calibration.

    Gather and Manage Assessment Evidence

    Collect evidence through interviews, document review and observation, then record it with full traceability to process attributes and practices so every rating has a defensible audit trail.

    Report and Communicate Findings

    Build process capability profiles, write a structured assessment report, present results to stakeholders and link findings to prioritised, goals-cascade-aligned improvement planning.
