You can decide to learn autonomously and directly attempt the examination, but this is approach is recommended only when the candidate has already a good level of knowledge in Service Management and has access to ITIL publications. The recommended approach is following an accredited official course that has been checked by PeopleCert on behalf of Axelos and that covers all the topics needed to know for the examination at the correct level of depth.
