Prerequisite Entry Criteria

Candidates must currently hold a Manager’s Certificate in a previous version of ITIL. Significant work experience in IT services is also highly recommended. You need to bring to the course proof of having gained your Manager’s Certificate for a previous version of ITIL. If you cannot provide this proof you may join the course but you will be unable to sit the exam. This is a requirement of ISEB. We strongly recommend that you obtain copies of the five core publications describing the service lifecycle. You will be provided with a pre-reading guide which refers to specific parts of these books. We would expect you to spend time studying this and reprising your ITIL v1 or v2 knowledge. You can purchase these publications directly from Purple Griffon.
