With 5 million certified professionals, ITIL® is the most widely used ITSM (information technology service management) framework globally.
The latest version – ITIL 4 – was released by AXELOS® in February 2019.
It’s an entirely new approach to ITSM and requires practitioners to update their knowledge with further qualifications.
So, what do those looking to become ITIL certified need to know? Let’s take a look and learn about ITIL 4 online training.
How does ITIL certification work?
Whereas ITIL v3 had five certification levels, ITIL 4 has four.
The first level, ITIL 4 Foundation, was launched in February 2019 and is the natural starting place for those who don’t have previous experience with ITIL.
Completing this course enables you to progress to the MP (Managing Professional) and SL (Strategic Leader) levels, comprising four and two modules.
Once you’ve passed both of these levels, you can study to attain the rank of ITIL Master.
Transitioning from ITIL v3 to ITIL 4 certification
The introduction of ITIL 4 has left many people who are studying the previous iteration in a difficult position.
Depending on how far into your studies you are, the best course of action might be to continue with ITIL v3 until you gain 17 credits, at which point you can take the MP transition module.
If you’ve already certified to ITIL v3, you should take the ITIL 4 Foundation training course to update your knowledge.
The core concepts remain the same, but there are some fundamental changes that you must familiarize yourself with.
