    The IT Governance Skills You Will MasterAcross the Five COBIT 5 Topic Areas

    This programme covers the full COBIT 5 Foundation syllabus, so you will learn the five principles, seven enablers, the 37-process reference model and the goals cascade that underpin enterprise IT governance. Each topic is mapped to the COBIT 5 Foundation Exam Syllabus (2020 version) and its five weighted topic areas.

    The Five COBIT 5 Principles

    The Seven COBIT 5 Enablers

    Understand the seven enablers, from principles, policies and frameworks through to people, skills and competencies, and how they work together to make IT governance and management effective across an organisation.

    Governance Versus Management

    Distinguish governance (the EDM domain, owned by the board) from management (the APO, BAI, DSS and MEA domains, owned by executives), and explain why separating the two improves accountability and clarity.
