    General

    What is the ITIL 5 Foundation Bridge certification?

    The ITIL 5 Foundation Bridge is an AXELOS (PeopleCert) transition qualification that updates ITIL 4 Foundation holders to ITIL 5, the latest edition of the ITIL service management framework. Passing the bridge exam grants the full ITIL 5 Foundation credential without taking the full Foundation exam.

    Who should take the ITIL 5 Bridge in Dublin?

    It is designed for practising ITSM professionals who already hold ITIL 4 Foundation, such as service desk leads, change and problem managers, service delivery managers, consultants and trainers who want to update their knowledge and credential to ITIL 5.

    Is the ITIL 5 Bridge worth it?

    Yes. As Dublin employers across tech, financial services and consulting adopt the current ITIL edition, an up-to-date credential keeps you competitive and supports progression into roles such as service delivery manager, which can pay around EUR 82,000 in Dublin. Talk to a learning advisor to plan your path.

    Do I need ITIL 4 Foundation before the bridge?

    Yes. The ITIL 5 Foundation Bridge assumes ITIL 4 Foundation knowledge and requires the ITIL 4 Foundation certification. Candidates who do not hold it should take the full ITIL 5 Foundation course instead.

    How long is the ITIL 5 Foundation credential valid?

    The ITIL 5 Foundation credential is valid for three years. To keep it current, you renew by earning 60 CPD points within the three-year cycle or by passing a higher ITIL 5 qualification.

    Is the credential recognised in Dublin and internationally?

    Yes. ITIL is the world's most widely adopted IT service management framework, and the AXELOS (PeopleCert) credential is recognised by employers across Ireland and globally, including the major technology, financial services and consulting firms based in Dublin.

    Pricing

    What is included in the ITIL 5 Bridge course fee?

    Your fee covers accredited instructor-led training, courseware aligned to the ITIL 5 Bridge syllabus, exam-focused preparation and learner support. The PeopleCert exam may be bundled or billed separately depending on the package. Request a quote for a full breakdown.

    How much does ITIL 5 Bridge training cost in Dublin?

    Pricing depends on the delivery format and whether the exam is bundled, so a precise figure is available on request. Contact a learning advisor for current Dublin pricing and group rates.

    Is the exam fee included in the training price?

    It depends on the package. PeopleCert sets the exam fee, which can be bundled with training or purchased separately. Ask our team which option applies to your chosen batch.

    Do you offer corporate or group discounts?

    Yes. We offer group pricing for teams transitioning to ITIL 5 together, with onsite or live online delivery. Ask about corporate or group pricing for your team.

    What payment options are available?

    We accept major credit and debit cards and bank transfer, with instalment options on selected plans. Speak with a learning advisor to choose the option that suits you.

    Exam

    What is the format of the ITIL 5 Bridge exam?

    The ITIL 5 Foundation Bridge exam is a closed-book, multiple-choice examination delivered by PeopleCert, either online with remote proctoring or at an authorised test centre.

    How many questions are on the ITIL 5 Bridge exam?

    The exam has 20 multiple-choice questions with a duration of 30 minutes. It focuses only on what is new and changed in ITIL 5 relative to ITIL 4.

    What is the passing score for the exam?

    You need 65%, which is 13 out of 20 questions correct, to pass the ITIL 5 Foundation Bridge exam.

    What are the prerequisites for the bridge exam?

    You must hold the ITIL 4 Foundation certification to sit the ITIL 5 Foundation Bridge exam. There is no formal education or work experience requirement.

    What happens if I do not pass the first time?

    You can resit the PeopleCert exam. Our trainers provide exam-focused preparation and guidance to help you prepare with confidence. Ask our team about resit options and support.

    How is the bridge exam delivered?

    PeopleCert delivers the exam online through its proctored OnVUE system, available 24/7, or at authorised test centres worldwide, so you can choose what suits you.

    Course Content

    What will I learn in the ITIL 5 Bridge?

    The bridge covers only what is new in ITIL 5: key enhancements since ITIL 4, the product and service lifecycle, digital and AI-enabled service management, the evolved ITIL Value System, updated language, and applying ITIL 5 in practice.

    Do I need prior experience to take the course?

    You need ITIL 4 Foundation knowledge and certification, as the bridge builds on it rather than repeating it. Beyond that, the one-day programme is structured to guide you through the changes step by step.

    How long is the training?

    The ITIL 5 Foundation Bridge is delivered as a focused one-day programme, because it covers only the new and changed content rather than the full Foundation syllabus.

    What learning materials are provided?

    Is the courseware aligned to the latest ITIL 5 syllabus?
