    General

    What is the COBIT 5 Assessor certification and who is it for?

    What are the prerequisites for COBIT 5 Assessor?

    COBIT 5 Foundation certification is required before you can sit the assessor exam, and COBIT 5 Implementation is recommended. The assessor exam assumes both Foundation and Implementation knowledge, so it is not retaught during the course.
