    What is the format of the COBIT 5 Assessor exam?

    The Assessor exam is an open-book, objective-testing paper based on the COBIT 5 Assessor Exam Syllabus, 2024 version. Only the COBIT 5 Assessor Guide: Using COBIT 5 and the COBIT Process Assessment Model are permitted. It is delivered online proctored via PeopleCert OnVUE or at a test centre.

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

    The paper has 8 questions, each worth 10 marks, giving 80 marks in total, and you have 2 and a half hours (150 minutes) to complete it. All eight questions are scored; there are no unscored pretest questions.

    What is the passing score for COBIT 5 Assessor?

    The pass mark is 50%. You must achieve 40 marks or more out of the 80 available. The eight questions span the five topic areas, so aim for broad mastery across the PAM, capability levels, assessment execution and reporting.

    You can resit the exam; PeopleCert sets the re-sit policy, which we help you confirm. Our training includes scenario-based practice and open-book navigation techniques to support a first-attempt pass, and our team guides you on rebooking if needed.

You also apply the nine process attributes and the four-point rating scale to build capability profiles.

    Do I need prior COBIT experience to attend?

    You should hold COBIT 5 Foundation, and ideally Implementation, before attending, because the Assessor course assumes that knowledge and does not repeat it. If you are new to COBIT, we can advise on completing Foundation first.

    Are practice questions and mock exams provided?

    Yes. The programme includes scenario-based practice aligned to the 8-question, open-book format, plus mock questions and techniques for navigating the COBIT 5 Assessor Guide and PAM efficiently under timed conditions.
