About
COBIT is considered the de-facto framework for IT Governance. It is a supporting toolset that allows managers to bridge the gap between control requirements, technical issues and business risks.
In the COBIT 4.1 Foundation Course, participants learn the principles of an IT control framework and how COBIT addresses this need by providing a globally accepted IT governance and control framework.
The elements of the COBIT Framework are explained using practical examples and real world scenarios. Additional subjects covered are COBIT Online, COBIT’s relationship with other ‘best practice’ methodologies and an overview of Val IT. Also covered in the course (but not included in the examination) will be an overview of the new International Standard for IT Governance ISO/IEC 38500.
