    What our clients say

    Real opinions. Real experiences.

    The COBIT® 2019 Foundation training with Inprogress gave me a much clearer view of how IT governance connects to real business value. I came away with practical tools to improve decision-making, align IT with organizational goals, and spot the factors that make governance succeed or fail. It was excellent preparation for the exam, but even more importantly – it’s knowledge I can apply directly in my daily work.

    Participant of COBIT® 2019 Foundation IT Risk & Compliance Manager

    For me, the COBIT® 2019 Foundation training was more than just another course. It gave me a structured way to look at IT from an enterprise perspective, not only through day-to-day operations. The group discussions were especially valuable - hearing how other organizations approach IT governance helped me identify areas where I could make improvements in my own work. Passing the exam was important, but the real gain was having the language and tools to engage senior leadership in conversations about IT as a driver of business value.
