Course Introduction -

The COBIT Foundation course is an interactive, classroom-based learning experience. Participants learn about the need for an IT control framework and how COBIT addresses this need by providing a globally accepted IT governance and control framework. This course explains the elements and supporting materials of the COBIT framework in a logical and example-driven approach for everyone interested in obtaining foundation level knowledge of COBIT.

Practical classroom exercises support the classroom presentations. Candidates learn the true meaning of COBIT by practicing the use of COBIT in a case-based scenario. The course includes an exam preparation module, preparing participants to take on the COBIT Foundation exam.
