ITIL® 4 Foundation
ITIL 4 Foundation shows that you understand the key concepts of modern IT service management: the service value system, the four dimensions, the guiding principles and the core ITIL practices. It is the entry point for IT staff, service desk teams, managers and anyone who works in or with IT services.
The certification is earned through a single one-hour multiple-choice exam with no prerequisites. Preparation follows the ITIL 4 Foundation syllabus with clear explanations, real service scenarios and mock exams, and opens the way to the Specialist and Strategist modules.

Renewal and validity
PeopleCert asks ITIL holders to renew within three years: pass the same exam again, pass another exam in the ITIL product suite, which renews all your ITIL certifications, or log 20 CPD points a year for three consecutive years through its PeopleCert Plus membership. Unrenewed certificates stay on the register with a note that renewal is needed, and PeopleCert is phasing in ITIL (Version 5) with a short bridge route for ITIL 4 holders, so check its current renewal policy.
