COBIT

COBIT 4.1 Foundation Certificate Course

This three day course provides a foundation level understanding of the COBIT Governance Framework for IT. It covers the need for an IT control framework and how this is addressed by COBIT. The elements of the COBIT Framework are explained using practical examples and real world scenarios.  You will learn about IT governance issues that are affecting organizations globally and how COBIT  addresses the need for sound IT governance practices with a globally accepted IT control and governance framework.

The course will step through the components of the COBIT Framework, both at a general conceptual level, and then with an “in depth” analysis of two specific Control Processes. Questions and exercises based on the experience of the instructor and students will help you learn how to apply COBIT in practice. Additional subjects are COBIT Online, COBIT and other best practice methodologies and an overview of Val-IT 2.0.

The course prepares you for the official COBIT Foundation Exam organized under the umbrella of ISACA. The instructor will be able to answer questions and provide advice based on personal practical experience in addressing IT Governance, Audit and Management issues.
