Getting to ITIL 5 from ITIL 4 is very easy.\u00a0 Take a look at the options below and\u00a0Contact Us with Questions.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. If you have an ITIL 4 Foundation Certification<\/strong> (Active or Not<\/em>) you can upgrade your Foundation Certification to ITIL 5 by taking the ITIL 5 Bridge Certification<\/a>. 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.<\/li>\n
  2. If you have the ITIL 4 Practice Manager or Strategic Leader Designations<\/strong> you only need to take 1 course & exam to achieve the ITIL 5 Designation. The Certification is ITIL Transformation<\/a>, 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.<\/li>\n
  3. If you hold the ITIL V3 Expert, ITIL 4 Managing Professional or ITIL 4 Master Designations<\/strong> you too only need to take 1 Certification to upgrade to ITIL 5. The Certification is the Managing Professional Transition<\/a>. 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).<\/li>\n
  4. If you hold only ITIL 4 Foundation<\/strong> you have the option to go right into any ITIL 5 Advanced course without having to take the ITIL 5 Foundation.<\/li>\n
  5. If you are New to ITIL<\/strong> you have the choice to do either ITIL 4 or ITIL 5. ITIL 4<\/a> 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<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
