You are here: ITIL V3 Qualification Scheme
The ITIL Version 3 (V3) Qualifications scheme provides a modular approach to ITIL certification, and is comprised of a series of certifications focused on different aspects of ITIL Best Practice, to various degrees of depth and detail.
There are four levels of certification within the V3 scheme:
The modular, tiered approach to certification not only offers increased flexibility to candidates relating to the disciplines or areas of ITIL that they are able to study, but generally makes ITIL certification more accessible and achievable.
The entry level for the scheme is the ITIL V3 Foundation in IT Service Management, and upon successful completion a candidate becomes eligible to take further V3 certifications within the scheme.
The ITIL Intermediate Level is the core of the qualifications scheme, and the modular construct allows candidates to select specific Intermediate certifications which are of interest to them, based on their own individual educational or career-driven requirements.
The Intermediate level provides two specific streams of education – the Service Lifecycle "Management" focused stream, and the Service Capability "Process" focused stream.
Candidates can choose to take as few or as many ITIL Intermediate modules as they require over time and at their own pace, building a portfolio of certifications tailored to their own individual requirements.
The ITIL V3 Expert Certificate is awarded to candidates in recognition of their achievement of ITIL V3 certifications. This level of certification also recognizes qualifications from earlier ITIL versions and through endorsed Complementary Qualifications.
The Expert level is supported by the ITIL V3 Credit System which explains how credits are awarded to candidates for successful completion of modules of ITIL study.
The final level of the scheme, the ITIL V3 Master Qualification, is the highest qualification available within the V3 program. This particular qualification is reserved for those individuals who can demonstrate and provide evidence of their ability to implement defined ITIL disciplines and IT Service Management Best Practices within the real world working environment.
This level of the scheme is currently in pilot phase and more information will be available early in 2010.
