Yes, PeopleCert can accommodate special allowances and make reasonable adjustments to the examination process. The first thing a candidate with a visual impairment needs to do is to submit a medical documentation that confirms the nature of disability and specific requirements for assessment. This way PeopleCert has it on record for you.
Visual Impairment Adjustments
Regarding visual impairment , there are 3 options available to the candidate:
How to book a Visually Impaired Exam with a Scribe/Reader
If the candidate would like a scribe/reader to be allocated to their exam, the exam session must be booked only for the specific candidate and the name and email of the scribe/reader must be provided.
How to Request Special Materials
If the candidate would also like exam material to be printed in a specific color/font size, it is best to book the exam a few days in advance, in order for us to print the exam material as per candidate’s requirements and dispatch it on time for the exam.
How to Request Additional Time for the Exam
Regarding the extra time, when the candidate creates their PeopleCert profile, please provide us your candidate number and medical documentation by sending an email to customerservice@peoplecert.org
It used to be that when you were ready to get your ITIL Certifications you signed up for a live instructor-ed, classroom-delivered course. When you did that, you had to get approval to take off from work and the budget to take the class. Live ITIL classroom courses can cost anywhere from $1,200 to $3,500 depending on the course, the length of the course and whether or not the certification exam was included in the cost of the training. With training budgets being the first to be hit when budgets are tightened, many individuals and organizations are turning to online self-paced ITIL courses.
The biggest downside is time. Whenever you are assigned or decide to take a class you MUST allocate the time to take the class. We have found that the most successful students setup a schedule and, if assigned by their company, get approval to take the time to take the class from their manager. This ensures that there is a timetable and approval to take the class. Almost like getting approval to take a live class. When you treat an online class like a live class you will have a much better chance of completing the class and sitting for the certification exam.
If you are good at managing your time and setting goals, then online self-paced training will be a good vehicle for you to achieve your goals in a timely and cost-effective manner. The most important thing to do is to set your goals and to allocate the time to achieve them. The next most important thing is to find a course that is engaging. There are courses taught by computers and animation and there are courses taught by real instructors. Everyone has different interests and most companies allow you to sample their courses before you buy them. Take the time to sample and find the type of course that you find most engaging.
The most important feature of any online self-paced class is that it is created by an expert instructor and designed and proven to be a successful knowledge transfer course. For example, there are organizations today that allow anyone to put up a course without checking the author’s credentials. To be successful you want to make sure that the organization you choose is working with expert instructors. You want to make sure that the classes are accredited. In the case of ITIL you want to make sure that the courses are taught by ITIL Experts and that they include sample exams, exercises designed to help you master the materials and you want to be able to ask the instructor questions. Do not accept a substitute.
Here are a list of questions you will want to ask to help ensure your success:

Hello, my name is Adrian Bates and I have utilized GogoTraining to acquire three ITIL certifications: ITIL Foundations; ITIL Release Control and Validation Intermediate; and Planning Process and Optimization Intermediate Certification.
Here are a couple of tips and tricks that I use to identify what information is critical to absorb during training. Additionally, I listed a couple of tips that have helped me prepare for an exam.
Prior to taking the training, I briefly reviewed the “Example Exams” within the module. I tended to focus on the “Question Rationale” portion of the test exam. This explains the reasoning behind how it was determined what the best answer is for each question. There is an area within the question and rationale titled “Bloom’s Taxonomy Testing Level”. This portion explains what the candidate is expected to understand. This tends to help me during training as key parts of the course tend to stand out as critical pieces of information when reflecting on the example exams.
Another key piece of information that assists with passing the exams is understanding the functional roles and responsibilities of each process. Each scenario speaks to a specific process and generally asks that you align the process or manager role accordingly. If you have a fundamental understanding of the Capacity, Availability, Demand, Continuity processes etc…, you will have a higher chance of answering the question correctly.
The last tip I have is that you thoroughly read the question being asked. Every scenario presents a challenge or obstacle that has to be overcome. Close attention must be paid to what question is being asked. For example, the question may ask something along the lines like; what is the best “approach” to create a successful continuity plan that addresses the issues listed by the Information Security Officer. The answers will vary, some of the answers are known as “distracters”. For example, one of the answers might illustrate a plan. The plan will sound great and may be best way to solve the issue. Keep in mind, you were not asked to solve the problem. You were asked to assess the best way to approach the problem, and to create a plan that in the end will address the issues. Again, it is very important that you read the question being asked slowly and to answer it as direct as possible.
Thank you for the opportunity to share my tips and tricks! My goal is to achieve ITIL expert and I have found this technique to be very helpful. I have passed every exam on the first try and I strongly recommend GogoTraining when preparing for your exams. Their training material is a great asset. The cost, accessibility to the site, support and training, in my opinion all receive good marks. You will realize this when you take the exam.
