Still questions on ITIL v3 certification
I am still getting questions about the ITIL v3 certification scheme. Here is the latest set of questions I got and the associated answers.
1. I would like to find out if the Manager’s is a certificate or the Diploma?
If there is any Diploma in this ITIL course let me know which one.
2. I have also learnt about the ITIL Expert, please elaborate what it is all about.
ITIL Managers, Diploma and Expert are all synonymous with the highest level qualification in ITIL.
The ITIL version 2 top level qualification is (and was always) referred to as “ITIL Managers”.
When ITIL v3 was published there was a lot of planning done by the APM Group regarding the new certification structure. Foundation level still remains as the entry level and pre-requisite for more training, then comes the Service Lifecycle and Service Capability programs, finally the top level examinable qualification (Managing Across the Lifecycle).
The plan was that if you were successful at all the examinable courses and once you had passed sufficient exams, you would automatically qualify for the ITIL DIPLOMA in IT SERVICE MANAGEMENT.
However, after a few months the DIPLOMA name was dropped and it is now referred to as “ITIL EXPERT”.
Remembering there is no exam to be receive the ITIL Expert certification, you have to qualify for it.
3. There was also what is called Practitioner Exam and Manager’s Exams. Does Practitioner’s exam still exist?
The ITIL v2 Managers exams and ITIL v2 Practitioner exams still exist and are likely to until APM Group decide that they are to be withdrawn. At this stage there are no plans to withdraw these exams until at least the end of 2008.
In ITIL v3 the Practitioner exams level is effectively replaced by four Service Capability courses and five Service Lifecycle courses.
4. I have also learnt of the Managers Exam V3 Bridge. In other words, are Managers V3 Exams available or not?
If you are ITIL v2 Managers certified or you have sufficient credit points earned from ITIL v2 Practitioner courses, then you can in fact take the ITIL v2 Managers Bridge course and exam. At the time of writing the exam is only available to Accredited Training Organizations, but it is expected the exams will be publicly available in the next few months.
