    The COBIT 5 Foundation (COBIT 5-F) certification validates your understanding of COBIT 5, the comprehensive framework for the governance and management of enterprise IT, examined by PeopleCert. COBIT 5 Foundation certification training in Norway prepares IT governance, audit, risk and compliance professionals to apply the framework with confidence and speak the language of governance with the board. Published in 2012 as the fifth edition of COBIT, the framework is built on five principles and seven enablers, and organises 37 governance and management processes across five domains. This course is aligned to the COBIT 5 Foundation Exam Syllabus (2020 version) and covers the goals cascade that links stakeholder needs to enterprise and IT-related goals. As Norwegian organisations respond to the Digital Security Act and tighter regulatory expectations, employers in Oslo, Bergen and Stavanger increasingly value structured IT governance skills.
