What is ITIL® 4?

ITIL® (Information Technology Infrastructure Library) is the most widespread and globally used framework and best practice for IT Service Management. It has undergone several changes over time since the first version of the late '80s to the version of the early 2000s, known as ITIL v2. Later ITIL v3 was the term frequently used for the 2007 update, which should be more correctly referred to as ITIL 2007. The later edition of ITIL was published in 2011 and, therefore, it is sometimes referred to as ITIL 2011. Since 2019, a new version of ITIL is available: ITIL® 4. ITIL 4 courses are provided by iLEARN online (self-paced), in classroom or remotely. 

ITIL (ITIL 4 Edition framework) has been designed to help organizations meet the increasing demand from the current complex digital environment. The new qualification scheme has been designed to be backwards compatible with ITIL v3 and streamlined to encourage conversion beyond ITIL Foundation level. ITIL Practitioner level, Intermediate level (ITIL® v3 Service Lifecycle and ITIL® v3 Service Capability) and ITIL® v3 Managing Across Lifecycle level will be replaced by new and more simplified modules. 

What is ITIL® 4 useful for?

Effective IT Service Management implementation according to best practices and, in particular ITIL4, provides many benefits to organizations. These benefits increase with the size and dependency of the organization from digital technology.

Key experienced benefits are:

• Improvement in IT services efficiency, effectiveness and availability
• Reduction of costs
• Improvement in customer satisfaction due to a better approach to service delivery
• Improvement in productivity
• Better use of skills and experience
• Improved supply of services compared to third parties

How do I get ITIL® certified?

The ITIL Qualification Scheme (ITIL 4 Edition) provides a modular approach to gain competences on the ITIL framework and is made up of a series of qualifications based on different aspects of ITIL Best Practice, with varying degrees of depth and detail. For each module an exam is available to prove the achieved competences and get certified.

The ITIL certification and qualification Scheme (ITIL 4 Edition) compromises of the following modules:
