The Information Technology Infrastructure Library, (ITIL), is the main framework for managing IT service delivery across all industries. It defines a service cycle model that outlines the activities and processes involved in designing, developing, and delivering IT services.
ITIL is made up of five core phases, or areas of practice, of the IT Service Lifecycle. Each phase includes supporting principles.
Service Strategy
Service Design
Service Transition
Service Operation
Continual Service Improvement
ITIL(r), Certification – Benchmark to Demonstrate IT Service Management Skills. To implement the ITIL Framework, professionals must have a thorough knowledge and proficiency in IT Service Management (ITSM (r)). This can be achieved by obtaining an ITIL qualification. You need to be familiar with the ITIL certification scheme if you want to become qualified in ITIL.
ITIL Certification Roadmap
ITIL Certifications are based on a modular credit system. Each ITIL qualification is assigned a credit value.

The ITIL Foundation exam is not required. After passing the foundation level exam, you will earn 2 credits.
ITIL Intermediate
Candidates must have completed the Foundation level to be eligible for the Intermediate level. Candidates can choose from any combination of the nine ITIL Intermediate modules in order to earn at least 15 credits to advance to the next ITIL level. It is divided into two stages: Service Lifecycle and Services Capability. The Service Lifecycle includes five modules: Service Strategy and Service Design, Service Transition, Services Operation, Service Operation, Service Transition, and Continual Improvement. The Service Lifecycle modules offer management-oriented knowledge about ITIL processes. Each module is given three credits.
