Attention all ITIL 4 Managing Professionals

There is a clear and easy path for you to achieve the ITIL 4 Master Designation and recertify.  PeopleCert has initiated a Recertification program.  The program requires students to recertify every 3-years.  There is a lot of information we need to share with you so please read to the end where we will share a very special offer with you.

Key Points

1. Recertification is only required for ITIL 4 Certifications.
2. If you received your last ITIL 4 Certification before June 2020, then your certifications must be renewed by July1, 2023 to keep them active.
3. If you received your ITIL 4 Certification after June 2020, then you have 3-years from the date of your last certification to renew.
4. If you do not renew before your certification expires, then it becomes inactive, and your certifications will renew for 3 more years when you take of the actions below.

How to Recertify

There are 3 ways to recertify.  We will discuss them all here and give you the pro’s and con’s.

1. You can pay for and take the same exam again.
   • We think this is the worst way to recertify.  It is expensive and you really get nothing in return, but renewal.
2. You can pay $122/year for 3-years for a MyAxelos subscription and record 60 hours a year of study on the MyAxelos site .
   • This is the most expensive way to recertify when you consider what your time is valued at.
3. You can take a new course, gain a new certification and recertify everything – This is a really good option, and we are not saying this because that is our business.

How Taking A New Course Gets You Recertified

Taking a new course is a great option because PeopleCert has just released the New Practice Manager Certifications and they have  2 GREAT Features:

• It offers 1-day Practice Courses with Certification exams – Very, Very Economical.
• It offers a 3-day Practice Manager course and exam that is required to become an ITIL Master.

The New Practice Manager Certification Gets you the ITIL Master Designation

Ok, for those of you that read to this point – thank you.  Here is the scoop.  ITIL 4 Master requires you to hold the ITIL 4 Managing Professional, Strategic Leader and Practice Manager Designations and you automatically become an ITIL Master.

• For those of you who hold the Managing Professional designation, then you only need to take 2 courses to become an ITIL Master (Digital & IT Strategy and the new ITIL Practice Manager course, Monitor, Support & Fulfil).
• If you hold the Managing Professional and Strategic Leader Certifications, then you only need 1 course to achieve ITIL 4 Master – the new ITIL 4 Practice Manager course, Monitor, Support & Fulfil).

SPECIAL OFFERS

This offer may not be combined with other offers.  Please note that the Digital & IT Strategy course will go into your account when you make your purchase.  The Monitor, Support & Fulfil course will be available late July  2023 and we will contact you to find out when you would like to activate the course.  Purchasing the package now during the pre-release sale, locks in your savings.

PeopleCert’s ITIL Recertification Program goes into effect July 1, 2023 and it starts with ITIL 4 Certifications.  Earlier Certifications are exempt.  The program requires students to recertify every 3 years.

How Do I Know When to Recertify?

• If you received your ITIL 4 Certifications prior to June 2020, then you must renew your certification(s) by July 1, 2023.
• If you received your ITIL Certifications after June 2020, then you must renew 3 years from the date of certification.

What if I Hold Multiple Certifications?

The good news is that you do not need to recertify each certification. When you recertify one of your certifications, all of them automatically update.

How Do I Recertify?

PeopleCert offers 3 ways to recertify.

• You can take one of your certification exams over. You have to pay for it, take it and pass it.
• You can take a new course/certification. When you take and pass the exam, all of your previous certifications are updated.
• You can purchase the MyAxelos Subscription for $122/year and take 20 hours of classes/year or $366 in total plus 60 hours of study.

Which Method of Recertification is Most Cost Effective?

PeopleCert is releasing a new series of ITIL courses under the heading of Practice Manager. These courses are 1-day and the certification exam is the lowest cost of all the exams – only $237. With these courses you can gain a new certification, valuable knowledge and recertify at the lowest possible price.

The MyAxelos Subscription is well priced too, but you have to allocate 60 hours of your time to achieving your CPD’s. When you factor in what your time is worth, this option becomes very expensive. Paying to take the same exam again, seems like the biggest waste of money. The other options are more economical and give you the opportunity to enhance your skills.

There are 32 ITIL 4 Certifications and 28 Certification Exams. How could this be possible?

The short answer is that students achieve the Practice Manager, Managing Professional, Strategic Leader and ITIL Master designations after they take the certification exams in that category. There is no extra exam to achieve the designation that covers the courses in the respective category.

For example, ITIL 4 Managing Professional consists of 4 courses and 4 exams. When completed students hold the designation for each exam taken PLUS the exam for the category which is ITIL 4 Managing Professional.

• ITIL 4 Specialist: Create, Deliver & Support
• ITIL 4 Specialist: Drive Stakeholder Value
• ITIL 4 Specialist: High Velocity IT
• ITIL 4 Specialist: Direct, Plan & Improve
• Complete all 4 courses & exams and you achieve the ITIL 4 Managing Professional designation.

Same holds true for ITIL 4 Strategic Leader. When students complete the 2 courses in this category, they hold the designation for each certification and automatically hold the ITIL 4 Strategic Leader Title.

• ITIL Strategist: Direct, Plan & Improve
• ITIL 4 Strategist: Digital & IT Strategy
• Complete both of these courses and you achieve the ITIL 4 Strategic Leader designation.

Same for Practice Manager – Only a bit more complicated. With Practice Manager there are 3 categories each with 5 individual courses/certifications and an option to take each course or to take 1 course that is 3-days long and covers the same information.
