ITIL 4 to ITIL 5 Rules & Tips

Friday, 14 August, 2026

Getting to ITIL 5 from ITIL 4 is very easy.  Take a look at the options below and Contact Us with Questions.

  1. If you have an ITIL 4 Foundation Certification (Active or Not) you can upgrade your Foundation Certification to ITIL 5 by taking the ITIL 5 Bridge Certification. This is the fastest and least expensive way to update your ITIL 5 Foundation and recertify for 3-years. This is for people who are Foundation Certified and have no plans to go on to advanced ITIL 5 certifications.
  2. If you have the ITIL 4 Practice Manager or Strategic Leader Designations you only need to take 1 course & exam to achieve the ITIL 5 Designation. The Certification is ITIL Transformation, and my understanding is that it is an amazing class. Probably the best ITIL 5 class because it gives you the tools you need to use in the real world.
  3. If you hold the ITIL V3 Expert, ITIL 4 Managing Professional or ITIL 4 Master Designations you too only need to take 1 Certification to upgrade to ITIL 5. The Certification is the Managing Professional Transition. It is a 5-day course in the classroom (about 20 hours in eLearning) and includes 2-exams (one for MP and one for Transformation).
  4. If you hold only ITIL 4 Foundation you have the option to go right into any ITIL 5 Advanced course without having to take the ITIL 5 Foundation.
  5. If you are New to ITIL you have the choice to do either ITIL 4 or ITIL 5. ITIL 4 will be available until December 31, 2027. If your organizations uses 4 or you are going after a job that requires V4, go for V4. Otherwise you can go straight to ITIL Version 5.

Beyond Certification: Helping the Military Community Build Long-Term Technology Careers

Friday, 7 August, 2026

Transitioning from military service to a civilian career is more than finding the next job. It is about building a long-term career with opportunities for growth. Veterans, service members, military spouses, and dependents bring leadership, discipline, problem-solving, and a mission-first mindset that employers value across the technology sector.

That’s why GogoTraining is proud to support the Act Now Education and PeopleCert initiative to introduce the military-connected community to ITIL, the world’s leading framework for IT service management. The goal is not simply to help participants earn a certification. It is to help them understand how ITIL can open doors to rewarding careers in technology and provide a foundation for continuous professional growth.

Technology Careers Continue to Grow

Demand for technology professionals remains strong. According to data highlighted in the program, U.S. computer and IT occupations offer a median annual salary of $105,990, with approximately 635,000 job openings expected each year. Up to 40% of mid- and senior-level technology positions either require or strongly prefer ITIL knowledge, especially when combined with certifications such as CompTIA, Cisco, AWS, PMP, or Agile credentials.

Professionals with recognized certifications are 35% more likely to be promoted, while ITIL-certified professionals often earn 10 to 25% higher salaries than their non-certified peers.

One Framework, Many Career Paths

ITIL provides a strong foundation for a wide range of civilian careers, including:

  • IT Service Management
  • Service Desk and Technical Support
  • Systems, Network, and Cloud Administration
  • Digital Operations
  • Project, Program, and Product Management
  • Cybersecurity Operations and Risk Management
  • Compliance, Governance, and AI Risk Management

These roles exist across both the public and private sectors, giving military-connected professionals flexibility as they plan their next chapter.

Military Experience Already Fits

Many of the principles behind ITIL will feel familiar to military professionals. Standard operating procedures, mission planning, risk management, continuous improvement, teamwork, and after-action reviews all align closely with ITIL practices. Participants will learn how to translate the skills they already possess into language and practices recognized by civilian employers.

More Than Passing an Exam

Throughout this initiative, the participants will learn how to connect ITIL concepts to real-world careers in IT service management, cybersecurity, project management, cloud operations, and digital transformation.

Program Objective

The objective of the Act Now Education, PeopleCert and GogoTraining Partnership is to help military-connected learners make informed career decisions, understand where their experience creates value, and build confidence to pursue opportunities in one of today’s fastest-growing industries.

At Act Now Education, PeopleCert, and GogoTraining, we believe the greatest value of ITIL is not the certification itself. It is the opportunity it creates. By helping veterans, service members, military spouses, and dependents understand the breadth of technology careers available to them, we hope to support successful transitions into meaningful, long-term careers that continue their commitment to serving others in a new way.

ITIL 5 News & Discounts from GogoTraining

Thursday, 30 April, 2026

ITIL 5 Foundation and ITIL 5 Foundation Bridge released in February. Feedback is good on both courses.

We get a lot of questions about which version to take (4 Foundation or 5 Foundation) since ITIL 4 Foundation is also available. Standard answer is to take V4 if your job or job search requires V4. We don’t expect job postings to list ITIL 5 until the end of the year since it just released.  If you are new to ITIL, then start with ITIL 5.

ITIL 4 includes 15 of the 24 practices and that is valuable to many students. ITIL 5 Foundation does not include the practices.

  • If you are interested in what’s different between ITIL 4 and 5 Foundation, here is a complimentary 40-minute presentation we put together for you. Click Here to Watch.

For everyone who has ITIL 4 Foundation and is not going on to advanced certs, then you can take advantage of the ITIL 4 Foundation Bridge Exam. It’s short (half the length of Foundation) and much less expensive ($263 versus $690 for Foundation).

After Foundation, PeopleCert released the new ITIL 5 Managing Professional Courses (Product, Service & Experience).

Next, they released ITIL Transformation. From what I hear it a very valuable course and it follows in the footsteps of ITIL V3 that was much more prescriptive. We have a short video overview (9 minutes) on what makes it so good. Click Here to Watch. Transformation is part of ITIL 5 Practice Manager, Managing Professional and Strategic Leader designations.

  • ITIL Transformation is also the course that ITIL 4 Practice Managers and Strategic Leaders will need to take to receive their ITIL 5 Designation.  The GogoTraining eLearning Transformation Course will be released by June 15th.  You can purchase the course & exam package now for $999.  It will be $1,499 when released.
  • Save $500 when you purchase the Pre-Release Package.

Coming in May is the course that all Managing Professionals, ITIL V3 Experts and Masters, ITIL 4 Managing Professionals and Masters, have been waiting to take – ITIL 5 Managing Professional Transition. It will take all ITIL V3 and ITIL 4 Master’s and bestow the ITIL 5 Master Designation and it will take all ITIL 4 Managing Professionals and bestow the ITIL 5 Managing Professional Designation.
