    Frequently Asked QuestionsHere's everything you may ask...

    COBIT 5 Assessor is the highest-level qualification in the COBIT 5 scheme.

It is designed for IT auditors, IT governance and GRC professionals, and lead assessors.

    General

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

    COBIT 5 Assessor is the highest-level qualification in the COBIT 5 scheme. It validates the ability to plan, conduct, rate and report formal process capability assessments using the COBIT 5 Process Assessment Model (PAM), which is aligned to ISO/IEC 15504. It is designed for IT auditors, IT governance and GRC professionals, and lead assessors.

    Is COBIT 5 Assessor worth it in Mauritius?

    Yes. As Mauritius grows as a regional fintech and data-centre hub, banks, Big Four firms and ICT employers increasingly need professionals who can formally measure IT governance capability. The credential positions you for IT audit manager, governance manager and lead assessor roles, where senior IT pay reaches Rs 150k a month and beyond.

    Is COBIT 5 Assessor recognised internationally?

    Yes. COBIT is a globally recognised standard for IT governance, and the Assessor credential is the highest level of the COBIT 5 scheme. Its PAM is aligned to ISO/IEC 15504, giving assessments international credibility. Exams are delivered by PeopleCert, which operates in over 200 countries.

    What are the prerequisites for COBIT 5 Assessor?

    COBIT 5 Foundation certification is a mandatory prerequisite. COBIT 5 Implementation is recommended, as the Assessor exam assumes both Foundation and Implementation knowledge. There is no formal education or work-experience requirement, though practical IT audit or governance experience is strongly advised.

    How does COBIT 5 Assessor differ from COBIT 5 Implementation?

    Implementation validates the ability to plan and manage a governance improvement programme using the seven-phase lifecycle. Assessor validates the specialist ability to conduct formal process capability assessments using the PAM and ISO/IEC 15504. Implementation covers governance delivery, while Assessor covers governance measurement.

    Pricing

    How much does COBIT 5 Assessor training cost in Mauritius?

    Fees vary by format, whether you choose live virtual, corporate onsite or one-to-one training, and by whether an exam voucher is bundled. The PeopleCert exam fee is billed separately and varies by region and channel. For current pricing in Mauritius, request a quote and a learning advisor will share the details.

    What is included in the course fee?

    The training fee typically includes COBIT 5 Assessor-aligned courseware, industry case studies, mock exams and practice questions, first-attempt guidance and learner support. Confirm whether the PeopleCert exam voucher is included when you enrol, as this varies by package.

    Is the exam fee included in the training price?

    Not always. Some packages bundle the PeopleCert COBIT 5 Assessor exam voucher, while others price training and exam separately. PeopleCert bills the exam fee under regional pricing. Ask a learning advisor to confirm what your chosen package includes.

    Do you offer corporate or group discounts?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for internal audit, risk and governance teams. Contact us for a tailored group quote for your organisation in Mauritius.

    What payment options are available?

    We accept major credit and debit cards and bank transfers, with instalment options on selected plans. Speak with a learning advisor to choose the option that suits you.

    Exam

    What is the format of the COBIT 5 Assessor exam?

    The COBIT 5 Assessor exam is an open-book, objective-testing paper delivered by PeopleCert, either online proctored or at an authorized test centre. It is based on the COBIT 5 Assessor Exam Syllabus, 2024 version, and requires application and analysis of realistic assessment scenarios.

    How many questions are on the exam and how long is it?

    The exam has 8 questions, each worth 10 marks, for 80 marks in total. You have two and a half hours (150 minutes) to complete it. All 8 questions are scored.

    What is the passing score for the Assessor exam?

    The pass mark is 50 percent, so you must achieve 40 marks or more out of the 80 available. Because the paper is scenario-based, focus on applying the PAM, capability levels and rating scale accurately rather than on recall alone.

    Which books are permitted in the open-book exam?

    Only the COBIT 5 Assessor Guide: Using COBIT 5 and the COBIT Process Assessment Model are permitted. No other materials are allowed, so efficient navigation of both references is essential, which the training practises directly.

    What if I do not pass on the first attempt?

    You can re-sit the PeopleCert exam; confirm the current re-sit policy and fee at the time of booking. Our training includes mock exams and first-attempt guidance to help you pass the first time. Verify current re-examination terms with PeopleCert.

    Course Content

    What topics does the COBIT 5 Assessor training cover?

    The 16-hour programme covers all five syllabus areas: overview of COBIT 5 process assessment, the COBIT 5 PAM, capability levels and process attributes, assessment planning and execution, and evidence, rating and reporting, at application and analysis level.

    What is the COBIT 5 Process Assessment Model (PAM)?

    The PAM is the ISO/IEC 15504-aligned model used to assess COBIT 5 process capability. It has two dimensions: the process dimension (the 37 COBIT 5 processes) and the capability dimension (six levels from 0 Incomplete to 5 Optimising), assessed through nine process attributes.

    What are the six COBIT 5 capability levels?

    They are Level 0 Incomplete, Level 1 Performed, Level 2 Managed, Level 3 Established, Level 4 Predictable and Level 5 Optimising. Each is assessed through process attributes rated on a four-point scale of Not, Partially, Largely and Fully Achieved.

    Do I need prior COBIT knowledge to attend?

    Yes. COBIT 5 Foundation is assumed and mandatory, and Implementation knowledge is assumed too. The Assessor course does not re-teach the five principles, seven enablers or the process reference model, so hold Foundation before you attend.

    What learning resources are provided?

    You receive COBIT 5 Assessor-aligned courseware, industry-driven case studies on assessment planning, evidence gathering, rating and reporting, plus mock exams and practice questions mapped to the open-book format.

    How long is the COBIT 5 Assessor training?

    The programme runs for 16 hours in total, typically delivered as two full days or four half-days depending on the schedule. It covers all five syllabus areas and prepares you for the open-book Assessor exam.
