What is the impact of ITIL® V3 on existing ITIL credentials and will they need to be refreshed?
It is inevitable that people will eventually regard a V3 certificate as more valuable than a V2 certificate. ITIL® V1 and V2 qualifications will remain valid indefinitely and the new qualifications scheme will not affect your current qualification. However, you will have the option to update your knowledge and, essentially, your qualification through the proposed ‘V2>V3 Foundation Bridge’ and ‘V2>V3 Managers Bridge’ which will be a course and examination which aims to bring your knowledge inline with V3 and your existing qualification inline with those available in the new qualifications scheme.
