ITIL 4 Certification Cost in 2024 [Exam Fee & Other Expenses]

Monday, 22 July, 2024

 

We actively scan the internet to see what is being posted about ITIL Certification fees and came upon a post with this title that is telling students that the price of the ITIL 4 Foundation Exam is “typically priced at $150 to $300” and this is just not true.

  • As an ITIL ATO/AEO we purchase exam vouchers from PeopleCert at a discount.  Depending on the country location of the student our price from PeopleCert ranges from $310 to $405.

The article goes on to say you can buy advanced ITIL 4 exams “costing between $250 and $350”, and this is just not true.

PeopleCert charges us hundreds more to purchase these exams so how could anyone sell one at these prices?  In addition, training companies have to sell training with the advanced exams.

Buyer Beware!!!

Is GogoTraining a PeopleCert Accredited Training Provider?

Friday, 3 May, 2024

 

YES, GogoTraining is a PeopleCert Accredited Training Provider?

What Does That Mean?

It means that all the ITIL courses on the GogoTraining site have been officially reviewed and accredited by PeopleCert.  When you take one of these courses you are 100% sure that they cover all the Certification requirements and that they come with all the required documentation.

Does GogoTraining Offer PeopleCert Exam Vouchers?

Yes, as an Official PeopleCert Accredited Training Organization (ATO) all courses must include the PeopleCert Official Exam Voucher.

Is the PeopleCert Exam Voucher from GogoTraining Identical to the one from PeopleCert?

Yes, all PeopleCert exam vouchers come with the same content.  You can buy the exam voucher from PeopleCert or an ATO and you will get the very same content:

  • The Exam Voucher
  • The Official eBook
  • The Official Resource Kit

Why Should I Purchase ITIL Exam Vouchers from GogoTraining Versus PeopleCert?

For 2 very important reasons:

  • PeopleCert does not include Accredited Training with their Exam Vouchers – GogoTraining does!
  • PeopleCert does not discount their exam vouchers – GogoTraining does!

Bottomline:

  • GogoTraining offers the highest quality PeopleCert Accredited eLearning Training Courses and all courses come with the Official PeopleCert Exam Vouchers.
  • GogoTraining discounts exam vouchers for every region so you pay as little as possible for PeopleCert Exams.
  • GogoTraining courses include the required Letter of Course Attendance required for all courses after ITIL 4 Foundation.
  • GogoTraining courses include instructor support – learn and interact with your instructors.
  • GogoTraining offers the highest quality courses and the best customer service in the world!

Thursday, 28 October, 2021

The quick answer is no.  ITIL Expert is available to achieve until December 31, 2021.

Why Now?

For this answer we went to ITIL Expert, Dr. Suzanne Van Hove:  Suzanne shared that if you have achieved 17 ITIL V3 credits, then there are four reasons to take MALC and achieve the ITIL Expert designation:

  • Becoming an ITIL Experts puts you in a very elite group.
  • Taking the MALC gives you a great understanding of the 2011 processes and how they interact; so important to have those thought processes when addressing ITIL 4.
  • Taking MALC gives you a solid understanding of the service lifecycle and where it fits into the ITIL 4 schema, so you have a leg up when you go to adopt and adapt ITIL 4 into your organization.
  • Taking MALC solidifies the concept of ‘process’ to a point where ITIL 4 practices and their application across the enterprise makes sense.

Do you have 17 ITIL V3 credits?  If yes, it’s not too late to become an ITIL EXPERT – but, time is running out.  The last MALC exam will be given on December 31, 2021.  The time to act is now.

Great Answer from Dr. Van Hove on VeriSM™ & ITIL®

Thursday, 27 February, 2020

VeriSM™ and ITIL®4 are very different. It’s the same story as any other question of how VeriSM differs from ITIL, COBIT®, IT4IT®, ISO/IEC 20000, etc. VeriSM isn’t a standard, methodology, or framework, but rather an operating model. ITIL, 20K, COBIT, etc. all are process (practice) driven standards, methodologies, or frameworks.

VeriSM recognizes that all the various standards, frameworks, methodologies have a different emphasis. What VeriSM points to is that depending on the requirements, the appropriate methodology should be used be it ITIL, COBIT, Agile, Lean, etc. VeriSM expands the service management philosophy across the enterprise.

ITIL still is focused in the technology area even though it’s putting forth practices around workforce and talent management, project management, and business analysis – it’s trying to take the enterprise step but it’s not quite there yet (note: there is still information not yet released and therefore a full judgement can’t be made). ITIL 4 states that it is incorporating Lean, Agile, DevOps into its practices (processes) and operating models. That may well be true, but there is a lot of altering of the methodologies in order to ‘fit’ the ITIL principles.

VeriSM is an operating model; ITIL, et al are all players within that operating model. VeriSM is the only service management philosophy that is truly neutral and non-biased. The operating model clearly states to use whatever framework, methodology, or standard that is most appropriate for the consumer requirements, organizational capabilities, and the mission/goals of the organization. Lastly, as with any of the management practices, ITIL is just one strand of the mesh (key concept in VeriSM) and it is up the organization to populate that mesh with the practices, disruptive technologies, resources and environment that accurately reflect the organization.
