Objectives

To deliver a structured five-day training programme that equips participants with foundational knowledge of the COBIT 5 framework, enables practical application in professional IT governance environments, and validates learner proficiency through formal assessment and accredited certification.

Scope

The engagement covers a five-day training initiative scheduled for the last week of July 2026. The scope includes curriculum design, delivery methodology planning, participant assessment, financial costing, defined project deliverables, post-training support, and facilitator credential verification. Training must be conducted exclusively at the Training Service Provider’s (TSP) facility. Joint ventures are explicitly prohibited. Proposals must follow a mandated structure covering institutional background, daily programme outlines, assessment strategies, cost breakdowns, timelines, facilitator qualifications, and accreditation documentation.

Technical Requirements

• Provider must hold current ISACA and/or APMG accreditation for COBIT 5 training, alongside institutional accreditation as a registered training service provider.
• All instructional materials, delivery formats, and assessment tools must align with official COBIT 5 foundation standards.
• Proposals must include a day-by-day programme outline, assessment methodology, unit and group costing (including travel and accommodation where applicable), clear deliverables, aftercare benefits, and a fixed five-day implementation schedule.
• Facilitators must possess verified ICT qualifications with specific expertise in COBIT 5 phases, plus a recognised facilitation certificate. Submitted CVs must correspond exactly to deployed personnel; any replacements require prior departmental approval and equivalent credentials.
• Training delivery is restricted to the TSP’s designated training facility.

Skills Requirements

• Facilitators must demonstrate advanced instructional capabilities, deep subject-matter expertise in IT governance frameworks, and proven experience preparing learners for workplace application.
• Providers must exhibit competency in designing blended delivery formats (e.g., instructional blocks, lectures, formative and summative assessments) and issuing accredited Certificates of Competence.
• Organisational capability to deliver uncapped post-training value-add services that extend beyond the core curriculum.
