    The COBIT 5 Foundation certification validates your understanding of COBIT 5, the globally recognised framework for the governance and management of enterprise IT. COBIT 5 Foundation certification training in Oman gives IT governance, audit, risk and compliance professionals a structured route to master the framework's five principles, seven enablers and 37-process reference model, and to prepare for the PeopleCert COBIT 5 Foundation exam.
