    Value for Professionals and Teams

    ITIL V5 Foundation Exam Format in South AfricaWhat to expect on exam day

    The ITIL Foundation Bridge (Version 5) exam tests only what is new and changed in ITIL (Version 5) relative to ITIL 4. Existing ITIL 4 knowledge is assumed as the baseline and is not re-tested. The exam covers the five topic areas PeopleCert publishes for the Bridge: key enhancements in ITIL (Version 5), digital product and service management evolution, updated language and core concepts, the enhanced value creation approach, and applying ITIL (Version 5) in practice. Through a combination of multiple-choice questions, candidates are tested on their understanding of the differences between ITIL 4 and ITIL (Version 5).
