    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, validating 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, GRC specialists, governance consultants and lead assessors.

    Is the COBIT 5 Assessor certification worth it in Vietnam?

    Yes. As Vietnam's banks, IT services exporters and public bodies must increasingly evidence control effectiveness, qualified assessors are in demand. Roles range from IT Auditor, averaging around 589 million VND, to IT Audit Manager and Head of IT Governance, so the credential supports strong career and salary progression.

    What are the prerequisites for COBIT 5 Assessor?

    COBIT 5 Foundation certification is required before you sit the Assessor exam, and COBIT 5 Implementation is recommended. The Assessor level assumes Foundation knowledge, such as the five principles, seven enablers and process reference model, and builds on it at an advanced, specialist level.

    Is COBIT 5 Assessor recognised in Vietnam?

    Yes. COBIT is the globally recognised standard for IT governance, and the Assessor credential is valued by employers in Vietnam and worldwide for IT audit, GRC and governance assessment roles, including banks, telecoms, IT services firms and Big Four advisory practices. Exams are delivered globally via PeopleCert.

    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; Assessor covers governance measurement.

    Pricing

    What is included in the COBIT 5 Assessor course fee?

    The training fee typically includes instructor-led sessions, COBIT 5 Assessor aligned courseware, case studies, mock questions and learner support, plus guidance on the open-book PeopleCert exam. Verify current inclusions, such as the exam voucher, when you enrol. Request a quote for full details.

    How much does COBIT 5 Assessor training cost in Vietnam?

    Training is usually purchased as a combined training and exam package through an authorised provider, and pricing varies by format and delivery mode. Exact fees are available on request. Talk to a learning advisor for a quote tailored to individual or group enrolment.

    Is the exam fee included in the training price?

    It depends on the package. COBIT 5 Assessor is often bought as a bundled training and exam package, though PeopleCert exam pricing varies by region and channel. Confirm whether the exam voucher is included when you enrol, and ask us for a quote that sets this out clearly.

    Do you offer group or corporate discounts?

    Exam

    What is the format of the COBIT 5 Assessor exam?

    The COBIT 5 Assessor exam is an open-book, objective test based on the COBIT 5 Assessor Exam Syllabus (2024 version). It uses scenario-based questions that require you to apply the PAM and professional judgement. Only the COBIT 5 Assessor Guide and the Process Assessment Model are permitted.

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

    The exam has 8 questions, each worth 10 marks, for a total of 80 marks. You have 2.5 hours (150 minutes) to complete it. All 8 questions are scored, so there are no unscored pretest questions.

    What is the passing score for the COBIT 5 Assessor exam?

    The pass mark is 50%. You need 40 marks or more out of the 80 available to pass. Because the questions require specialist analysis, prepare to apply the PAM and the four-point rating scale across realistic assessment scenarios.

    Which materials are allowed in the open-book exam?

    Only two references are permitted: the COBIT 5 Assessor Guide: Using COBIT 5 and the COBIT Process Assessment Model. No other materials are allowed, so efficient navigation of these documents under timed conditions is an important exam skill the training builds.

    How is the exam delivered and what if I do not pass?

    The exam is delivered by PeopleCert, either online proctored through the OnVUE system, available 24/7, or at authorised test centres. If you do not pass first time, a re-sit can be arranged; confirm the current re-examination policy with PeopleCert before you book.

    What are the six COBIT 5 capability levels?

    The six levels are Level 0 Incomplete, Level 1 Performed, Level 2 Managed, Level 3 Established, Level 4 Predictable and Level 5 Optimising. Each is assessed through the nine process attributes and a four-point rating scale of Not Achieved, Partially Achieved, Largely Achieved and Fully Achieved.

    Enrollment

    What are the eligibility requirements to enrol in the training?

    To sit the exam you must hold COBIT 5 Foundation, with Implementation recommended. There is no formal education or work-experience requirement, though practical IT audit or governance experience is strongly advised given the specialist nature of the credential.
