Cobit 5

Hi ,

Im still within my first year of work after graduation and been trying to acquire some foundation certifications in various IT fields.

I came across the COBIT 5 foundation, and it seemed very interesting , i just want to know if any one could share their experiences with the exam and after that.

is it really worth it ? did it make a difference on the resume ?

your feed back is much appreciated

I would recommend focusing more on either ITIL or obtaining the CISA certification - they are more commonplace and will give you a better background than COBIT 5.

Aka, it's not worth the cert - just read the materials on COBIT 5 and you should be OK.

I have already obtained the ITIL Foundation cert , and thought with COBIT 5 it would make a good combination somehow.

Thank you very much for the reply

I've seen some jobs that want COBIT certification within 1 year of employment.

There are a few - Cobit Certification Jobs, Employment | Indeed.com , but it's definitely not common.

Hi all,

ITIL is framework for IT Service Management
Cobit 5 is framework for IT Governance

Cobit with the latest version 5, it is not substitute ITIL but is fullfilling it from the point of managers (up to bottom).
Cobit 5 uses the RACI chart which is nice (my opinion) because shows the responsibility of any person in the chart.

It is not difficult to obtain it. You can purchase the framework paper's from the ISACA site.

Dimitris.
