This certification is achieved by accumulating credits through the first two levels of the Scheme.
There is no examination required for this level; however candidates must achieve credits through a selection of balanced subject areas which represent and are examined across the full spectrum of the ITIL Service Management Practice areas.
To achieve the certification, candidates must obtain a minimum of 22 credits, 2 of which must be from the Foundation module which is a mandatory first step, and 5 of which must be from the ‘Managing Across the Lifecycle’ module which is a mandatory final step.
Candidates can choose modules from the Capability (4 credits per module) or Lifecycle (3 credits per module) streams to gain the other 15 credits, but are expected to choose a balanced program overall.
