Why study this course

ITIL® got an upgrade, so you should too! Upgrade your existing ITIL v3 skills and knowledge to ITIL 4 which is built on the established core of best practice in the ITIL guidance, and earn the ITIL 4 Foundation Certificate in IT Service Management in two days or 5 evenings!

ITIL is the most widely adopted approach for IT Service Management in the world. ITIL 4 provides a practical and flexible approach to move to the new world of digital transformation and embrace an end-to-end operating model for the delivery and operation of products and services. ITIL 4 also provides a holistic end-to-end picture that integrates frameworks such as Lean IT, Agile, and DevOps.

Our ITIL 4 upgrade course is designed to help participants who already have a solid comprehension of ITIL v3 and have attained the ITIL v3 Foundation Certificate gain an understanding of what’s new and different in the ITIL 4 principles and relate ITIL 4 to their own work environment. The course will inspire participants to serve as a change champion by sharing and using what they have learned, and continue to learn, about ITIL 4 to lead and mentor others.

This course includes a digital copy of the ITIL 4 Foundation Official Guidance handbook, and is supported by additional learning tools such as post-course reading materials, quick reference cards, and practical material for reference back in the workplace.

Examination
This course pricing includes a voucher for the ITIL 4 Foundation Exam, which is an online proctored exam through PeopleCert. It is a 60 minute exam, with 40 multiple choice questions and a pass mark of 65%. Practice exam papers are provided in the course, and reviewed to assist in preparation.

After passing the exam, each student’s certificate will be made available to them via PeopleCert.

Note that there is no bridging exam for ITIL 4 – it is the same exam for both the standard Foundation course and this Upgrade course.

It is highly recommended that you spend some time each evening of this course reviewing and consolidating what you’ve learned, to be well prepared for the exam.
