Yes, you do!\u00a0 Why? Because ITIL\u00ae Practitioner is the Certification that brings ITIL to life.\u00a0\u00a0 It will give you the practical skill-set to successfully adopt and adapt ITIL.\u00a0 In short, you will take your \u201cBook Knowledge\u201d and turn into \u201cStreet Smarts\u201d.<\/p>\n

Without the skills to support your Adopt and Adapt initiative, you cannot put ITIL to work.\u00a0 Bottom Line \u2013 if you want to bring ITIL to life, and take advantage of all of the benefits it has to offer, then you need to know how to adopt and adapt the ITIL Framework and ITIL Practitioner will give you the tools.<\/p>\n

ITIL Practitioner\u2019s Place in the ITIL Framework<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the diagram above you can see that ITIL Practitioner sits right in the middle of the Lifecycle and the Capability track of courses.\u00a0 The Practitioner Certification is worth 3 credits towards ITIL Expert and may be taken any time after you achieve the Foundation Certificate.\u00a0 However, it is a certification exam unlike any of the other ITIL Certification exams and we HIGHLY RECOMMEND that in addition to the ITIL Foundation Certificate that you have 2 years of experience working in IT Service Management and that you have taken at least 1 ITIL Intermediate course.<\/p>\n

The ITIL Practitioner Certification Exam<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

The ITIL Practitioner Certification exam expects that you will have taken the time to read\u00a0\u201cAXELOS ITIL Practitioner\u00a0Guidance\u201d and really understand the material.\u00a0 Success depends on knowing how to\u00a0apply\u00a0what you have learned.\u00a0 It is NOT, I repeat, NOT like any other ITIL Exam.\u00a0 It requires you to take your time and to study.<\/p>\n

GogoTraining ITIL\u00a0and Industry Expert Dr. Suzanne Van Hove designed a class with 8\u00a0practical exercises<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0These exercises utilize the exam\u00a0case studies and give you the opportunity to\u00a0apply\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>key course concepts, which will assist you when you take\u00a0the ITIL Practitioner exam.<\/p>\n

While taking a course is not required to sit for the ITIL\u00a0Practitioner Exam, the exam is $356 and that is a lot of money to pay and not pass the exam.\u00a0 After Dr. Van Hove (with 18 years of experience) took the ITIL Practitioner exam she decided to put a class together which focuses on the skill sets that a student needs to have in order to successfully take and pass.\u00a0 Each of the eight exercises Dr. Van Hove has prepared will\u00a0take students 2.5 to 3 hours each to complete. That is 24 hours of study on the practical skills of the ITIL Practitioner.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

ITIL Practitioner is a \u2018Must-Have\u2019 Certification<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"ITIL_Must-Have\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When it comes to Practitioner, we believe it is a must-have Certification because it\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>stresses the\u00a0skill-set you need to successfully adopt and adapt ITIL.\u00a0 That said, remember, you need to prepare thoroughly before you take the exam.\u00a0 ITIL Practitioner is heavily focused on application of concepts<\/em> and as such, completing all exercises and spending time with the course materials will only increase your success rate. Additionally, having a background within Service Management, beyond the Foundation exam, is another important criterion. Focusing on both of the above aspects provides a level of confidence not only for the exam but, to participate and lead ITIL Adopt and Adapt initiatives.<\/p>\n
