ITIL 4 – the Ultimate in IT Service Management
ITIL 4 is widely seen as a game changer that has breathed new life into IT Service Management. The ITIL 4 Foundation training is an advanced guidance that prepares organisations for success in their digital transformation journey by focusing on creating and delivering value to their customers. The result of a great amount of global research and development work across IT and service management industries, the latest ITIL 4 has been designed to help organisations meet the increasing challenges of today’s complex digital environment by integrating concepts from Agile, DevOps and Design Thinking.
ITIL 4 Foundation
The ITIL Foundation certification course is the essential starting point for anyone wanting to get started in ITIL. No longer a “nice to have” but a “must have” for any organisation or department or individual serious about improving IT Service Management.
ITIL 4 Certification Scheme
You can get a good idea of the new ITIL 4 Certification Scheme in the diagram below. The Scheme comprises a number of modules:
- ITIL 4 Foundation Certificate – the entry level to ITIL 4 Certification
- Three ITIL Specialist modules (Create, Deliver & Support; Drive Stakeholder Value; High Velocity IT)
- ITIL Strategist
- ITIL Leader
There are three high-level designations that can be attained:
- ITIL Managing Professional (MP)
- ITIL Strategic Leader (SL)
- ITIL Master, the highest level certification.
To obtain the ITIL Managing Professional (MP) or ITIL Strategic Leader (SL) designations you must complete all modules in each stream, with ITIL Strategist being common to both.
NOTE: There is no transition module (bridging course) from ITIL v3 Foundation to ITIL 4 Foundation. If you already have ITIL v3 Foundation and wish to take an ITIL 4 Specialist/Strategist/Leader course, then the recommended approach is to first take ITIL 4 Foundation in order to be able to transition to the new scheme.

ITIL Foundation is available as Virtual Instructor-led Training (VILT). You get the same world-class trainer and the same excellent training that you would normally get from ALC. It is fully live and interactive. The only difference is that the ITIL 4 Foundation course is conducted online.
