The Five Principles and Seven Enablers

The COBIT5 framework is based on Five Principles and Seven Enablers. The course curriculum has been aligned to these:

The Five Principles

  • Principle 1: Meeting Stakeholder Needs
  • Principle 2: Covering the Enterprise End-to- End
  • Principle 3: Applying a Single, Integrated Framework
  • Principle 4: Enabling a Holistic Approach
  • Principle 5: Separating Governance From Management

The Seven Enablers

  • Principles, policies and frameworks
    The vehicle to translate the desired behaviour into practical guidance for day-to-day management
  • Processes
    An organized set of practices and activities to achieve certain objectives and produce a set of outputs in support of achieving overall IT-related goals
  • Organizational structures
    The key decision-making entities in an enterprise
  • Culture, ethics and behaviour
    The culture, ethics and behaviour of individuals and of the enterprise are very often underestimated as a success factor in governance and management activities
  • Information
    Required for keeping the organization running and well governed, but at the operational level, information is very often the key product of the enterprise itself
  • Services, infrastructure and applications
    Includes the infrastructure, technology and applications that provide the enterprise with information technology processing and services
  • People, skills and competencies
    Required for successful completion of all activities, and for making correct decisions and taking corrective actions

Yes, we do provide courses suitable for beginners. However, Firebrand's accelerated courses aren't easy and it's essential that you are interested and actively pursuing a career in IT.

Traditional training providers usually run their courses from 9am to 5pm. At Firebrand Training we maximise the number of learning hours to minimise the number of training days, so you’ll be back to your job as quickly as possible. You don’t waste time travelling to several courses and finding an exam centre after that.

Firebrand's accelerated courses are constantly reviewed. We ask our delegates for feedback after every course. We are official partners with leading vendors and therefore, we're provided with certification changes and updates, which we can then implement in our course delivery at a very early stage. This feedback is then analysed in view of changes or discrepancies. We will then address the topics mentioned and have a panel of subject matter experts provide us with valuable suggestions for improvement and solutions.

If you need to learn new skills and you want to be able to put them into practice quickly, then Firebrand is the right training company for you.

Our unique accelerated training method means that we are your fastest way to learn. By delivering training for up to 12 hours per day, seven days per week, with exam centres on-site, we ensure that you are trained and certified quicker than anywhere else, having spent less time out of the office away from the day job.
