The ITIL® v3 journey is coming to an end
AXELOS has announced they will be taking a phased approach to the retirement of ITIL v3 courses allowing customers and students sufficient time to transition to the latest version of the ITIL framework (ITIL 4). Customers will no longer be able to purchase ITIL v3 training and examinations from the 1st July 2021, followed by the discontinuation of the Intermediate examinations on 1 January 2022.
Customers and students will, however, have another 6 months to book an ITIL 4 Managing Professional Transition examination. The ITIL 4 Managing Professional Transition module allows practitioners to transition to the ITIL 4 Managing Professional designation when they have accumulated enough certification credits in ITIL v3 to qualify for the transition examination.
