    COBIT 5 Implementation (COBIT 5-I) is the intermediate-level qualification in the COBIT 5 scheme that proves you can plan and lead a governance improvement programme end to end. COBIT 5 Implementation certification training in Zambia from Invensis Learning takes you through the seven-phase implementation lifecycle, change enablement, programme management and continuous improvement, so you can turn the COBIT 5 framework into real organisational change. With Zambia tightening IT governance through the Cyber Security Act 2025, the Data Protection Act and Bank of Zambia oversight, employers in banking, mining, telecoms and government need practitioners who can lead governance improvement, not just describe it.

    General

    What is COBIT 5 Implementation certification?

It validates your ability to apply the COBIT 5 implementation approach to plan and lead a governance improvement programme, covering the seven-phase lifecycle, change enablement, programme management and continuous improvement.

    Who should take COBIT 5 Implementation training in Zambia?

    It suits IT governance managers, IT auditors, risk and compliance leads, CIOs and consultants who lead or support governance improvement. In Zambia it is especially relevant in banking, mining, telecoms and the public sector, where new cyber and data laws raise governance expectations.

    Is COBIT 5 Implementation worth it for my career?

    Yes. It proves you can lead governance improvement, not just describe the framework, and positions you for senior IT governance, GRC and audit roles that pay well above general IT positions in Zambia's regulated sectors. Talk to a learning advisor about your path.

    Is COBIT 5 Implementation recognised internationally?

    How does Implementation differ from COBIT 5 Foundation?

    Is the exam fee included in the training price?

    Not always. The PeopleCert exam fee varies by region and purchasing channel and may be bundled or billed separately. Verify the current inclusion with our team before you enrol.

    Do you offer corporate or group pricing?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for governance and IT risk teams. Contact us for a tailored group quote.

    What payment options are available?

    Exam

    What is the format of the COBIT 5 Implementation exam?

    It is an open-book, objective-testing exam of four questions, each worth 20 marks, for 80 marks in total. Only the COBIT 5 Implementation book and the COBIT 5 Enabling Processes Guide are permitted. It is based on the 2022 syllabus.

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

    The exam has four scenario-based questions worth 20 marks each, and you have 150 minutes, which is two and a half hours, to complete it.

    What is the passing score for COBIT 5 Implementation?

    What if I do not pass on the first attempt?

    You can resit the exam. Our training includes mock questions and open-book technique practice to help you prepare thoroughly. Confirm the current resit policy and fees with PeopleCert.

    Which syllabus and edition is the exam based on?

    The exam is based on the COBIT 5 framework and the COBIT 5 Implementation Exam Syllabus (2022 version), covering the seven-phase lifecycle, change enablement, programme management and continuous improvement.

    Course Content

    What topics does the COBIT 5 Implementation course cover?

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

    What are the seven phases of the implementation lifecycle?

    They 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. The lifecycle is a continuous improvement cycle, not a one-off project.

    Do I need prior experience to follow the course?

    You should already hold COBIT 5 Foundation, as its concepts are assumed. Beyond that, the course is designed for practitioners who lead or support governance improvement, with practical scenarios that build applied skill.

    How long is the training and how is it delivered?

    The programme runs for 16 hours, typically over two days, delivered as live virtual or classroom training. Corporate teams can choose onsite or blended formats to suit their schedules.

    What learning materials are provided?

    You receive COBIT 5 Implementation aligned courseware, case studies, mock questions and open-book exam practice mapped to the 2022 syllabus, plus trainer guidance throughout the programme.
