Overview

This courseis designed for professionals who hold an ITIL® 4 Foundation certificate (or any higher-level ITIL 4 credential, excluding Cloud and Sustainability) and wish to transition to ITIL (Version 5).

The associated exam assesses a candidate’s ability to recall and understand the ITIL (Version 5) framework as defined in the syllabus. Successful completion awards the ITIL Foundation (Version 5) certification, fulfilling the prerequisite for all higher-level ITIL (Version 5) qualifications.
