The ITIL® Credit Profiler System.

The ITIL V3 Qualification Scheme introduces a modular credit system for each of the V3 certifications. All modules are given a credit value, and candidates meeting the requisite entry criteria and accumulating the required number of credits (22) can apply for ITIL Expert level certification. Click here to learn more about the V3 Qualification Scheme.

Certifications from earlier ITIL versions (V1 and V2) are also recognized within the system, together with qualifications endorsed as complementary to the V3 qualification portfolio.

The purpose of the ITIL Credit Profiler is to advise ITIL candidates of the total credit value they have attained within the scheme and to provide general guidance on potential routes for further study based on candidate educational or certification objectives.
