Advanced Organizational Performance Techniques (AdOPT) Schedules a COBIT Boot Camp which Allows Students to Obtain Two COBIT Certifications in One Week
COBIT Foundation and COBIT Assessor certification courses have been scheduled back to back creating the unique opportunity to understand the basics of COBIT as well as the more advanced COBIT Process Assessment Model.
TUCSON, AZ, August 22, 2016 /PressRelease/ -- AdOPT is offering the first US based COBIT boot camp that includes both COBIT Foundation and COBIT Assessor certification in a one week format. This course has been added to the schedule the week of December 5th in New York City, NY.
"The COBIT 5 framework has evolved over the years into an incredibly valuable tool for the governance and management of IT. The Assessor component of COBIT 5 provides a structured, repeatable process that can be used to understand the performance and capability of critical processes. The Assessor course is rarely offered in the US which makes it difficult for IT professionals to attend and grow their knowledge in this area. We hope by providing the courses in a boot camp format, we make it easier for IT leaders and auditors to understand the framework and how it can be leveraged to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the enterprise." - Pam Erskine
In one week, students can obtain two incredibly valuable COBIT certifications. Both certification exams are included in the course. Additional information about the courses is available at http://www.adoptitsm.com/workshops--simulations.html. Private courses are also available.
At AdOPT, we are transformation consultants focused on strategy, process, innovation, and culture change to improve IT efficiency, increase effectiveness, and optimize costs. For more information, phone 520-591-2427, visit our website at http://www.adoptitsm.com or email us at info@adoptitsm.com.

In today's world, IT is evaluating and often implementing good practices such as DevOps, Lean, ITIL, Cobit, etc. Implementation of these practices won't provide the results that are necessary to thrive in this rapidly changing environment.
