Introduction
Implementing effective IT governance and control enhances stakeholder value by enabling more efficient and effective leveraging of IT assets. Control Objectives for Information and Related Technology (COBIT) provides best practice in IT Governance for IT professionals and managers. Created by the IT Governance Institute (ITGI), COBIT provides a comprehensive set of measures, indicators, processes and control objectives across a broad spectrum of IT processes.

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.
