    General

    What is COBIT 5 Implementation and who is it for?

    COBIT 5 Implementation is the intermediate-level qualification in the COBIT 5 scheme, validating the ability to plan and manage a governance improvement programme using the seven-phase implementation lifecycle, change enablement, programme management and continuous improvement. It suits IT governance managers, GRC leads, consultants and enterprise architects.

The credential positions you for governance manager, GRC lead and enterprise architect roles.

    Do I need COBIT 5 Foundation before this course?

    Yes. COBIT 5 Foundation certification is the prerequisite for the Implementation level. The Implementation exam assumes Foundation knowledge, such as the five principles and seven enablers, and does not re-teach it.

    Which COBIT version does this certification cover?

    The course is based on the COBIT 5 framework and maps to the COBIT 5 Implementation Exam Syllabus (2022 version), delivered by PeopleCert. It covers governance drivers, the seven-phase lifecycle, change enablement, programme management and continuous improvement.

    Exam

    What is the format of the COBIT 5 Implementation exam?

    It is an open-book, objective-testing examination. Four questions are set, each worth 20 marks, for 80 marks in total. Only the COBIT 5 Implementation book and the COBIT 5 Enabling Processes Guide are permitted during the exam.

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

    The exam has four questions, each worth 20 marks, giving 80 marks in total. You have two and a half hours (150 minutes) to complete it. All four questions are scored.

    What is the passing score?

    The pass mark is 50 percent, which is 40 marks or more out of the 80 available. Because it is open book and scenario based, deep method knowledge and efficient navigation of the permitted books both matter.

    How and where do I sit the exam?

    The exam is delivered by PeopleCert, either online proctored through the OnVUE system, available around the clock, or at an authorised test centre. You can sit it from Qatar online or at a centre convenient to you.

    What if I do not pass the first time?

    You can resit the COBIT 5 Implementation exam; the current resit policy and any reexamination fee are confirmed at the time of booking with PeopleCert. Our training and practice materials are designed to help you clear it on the first attempt.

    Course Content

    What topics does the COBIT 5 Implementation course cover?

    The course covers four topic areas: the need for a governance framework and the seven-phase implementation lifecycle, change enablement, programme management, and continuous improvement, all at application level per the 2022 syllabus.

    What are the seven phases of the implementation lifecycle?

    The phases are: what are the drivers; where are we now; where do we want to be; what needs to be done; how do we get there; did we get there; and how do we keep the momentum going. It is designed as a continuous improvement cycle, not a one-off project.

    Can I take this course if I am new to leading governance programmes?

    You need COBIT 5 Foundation first, but you do not need prior programme-leadership experience. The course builds applied skills step by step using scenarios, so professionals moving from audit, risk or IT into governance leadership can follow it comfortably.

    What learning materials are provided?

    You receive courseware aligned to the COBIT 5 Implementation Exam Syllabus (2022 version), scenario-based practice questions, mock exams and guidance on navigating the two permitted open-book references efficiently.

    How long is the training?

    The instructor-led programme runs for 16 hours, typically delivered over two full days or four half-days depending on the schedule format. It covers all four topic areas and prepares you for the open-book exam.
