About the course

In this course, participants learn the need for an IT control framework and how COBIT addresses this need by providing a globally accepted IT governance and control framework. The course explains the elements of the COBIT framework and supporting materials in a logical and example-driven approach for everyone interested in obtaining foundation-level knowledge of COBIT.

The course material is supported by practical exercises built around a virtual company. Candidates learn the true meaning of COBIT by practicing the use of COBIT in a safe, case-based scenario.
