  • ITIL Practitioner Certification Overview

    You already possess your Foundation certificate. Excellent. So does almost everyone else. But you remain stuck in the daily grind, observing your team overwhelmed by incidents, clashing with change advisory boards that reject nearly everything, and contending with processes that appear fine in documentation but fail when implemented. You are familiar with the what of ITIL, but you are grappling with the how. That is precisely why you are still designated a "Service Desk Lead" while others are advancing to "Service Delivery Managers" with salaries that are 40% higher. The sector is saturated with "paper-certified" professionals who can parrot definitions but become ineffective when asked to genuinely improve a workflow. Employers are weary of them. They seek individuals capable of solving problems. They desire people who can utilize the "CSI approach" and genuinely translate it into reduced costs and quicker resolution times. Your resume is passed over because you appear to be just another ordinary IT support staff member. That ends now. This is not another tedious series of lectures focused on terminology. Our ITIL Practitioner Training Program is created by experienced ITSM consultants who have successfully overhauled malfunctioning IT departments in the local area's largest tech parks and financial hubs. They do not merely teach you the "Guiding Principles"?they show you how to apply them to dismantle unnecessary bureaucracy, simplify change management, and compel your organization to prioritize value. We developed this for the working professional who contends with genuine chaos. We eliminate the theoretical excess and concentrate on the "Adopt and Adapt" methodology. You?ll learn how to navigate Organizational Change Management (OCM) to manage reluctance from resistant teams, utilize metrics that actually resonate with your CIO, and implement improvements that draw attention to your work. Whether you are aiming for the legacy ITIL v3 Practitioner concepts or the modern ITIL 4 practice modules, this training closes the gap between knowing the vocabulary and speaking the language of leadership.

    ITIL Practitioner & Exam FAQ

    Find answers to common questions about our course and certification

    What exactly is the ITIL Practitioner certification?
    It is the "how-to" certification. While Foundation teaches you the what (definitions), Practitioner teaches you the how (application). It focuses on Continual Service Improvement (CSI), Organizational Change Management (OCM), and the 9 Guiding Principles .
    Is the ITIL Practitioner exam open book?
    Yes. This is one of the few open-book exams. You are allowed to use the official ITIL Practitioner Guidance publication during the exam. This structure proves the exam tests your ability to apply knowledge, not just memorize it.
    What is the difference between ITIL Practitioner and ITIL 4 Specialist?
    The classic ITIL Practitioner focuses heavily on the CSI approach and OCM skills applicable across all areas. The new ITIL 4 Specialist/Practitioner modules are often specific to one practice (like Incident Management). However, the core skills of CSI and Guiding Principles are universal.
    What are the prerequisites for the ITIL Practitioner exam?
    You must hold a valid ITIL Foundation certificate (v3, 2011, or ITIL 4). You cannot bypass the Foundation.
    How many questions are on the exam?
    The exam consists of 40 multiple-choice questions based on a scenario/case study.
    What is the passing score for ITIL Practitioner?
    You need to score 70% (28 out of 40 questions) to pass. This is notably higher than the Foundation passing score, reflecting the advanced nature of this certification.
    How long is the exam?
    You have 135 minutes (2 hours and 15 minutes) to complete the examination.
    Does this certification count towards ITIL Expert?
    Yes. In the credit system, ITIL Practitioner provides valuable credits (usually 3) that contribute towards your journey to becoming an ITIL Expert or Managing Professional.
    Can I take the exam online from home?
    Yes, via PeopleCert's Online Proctoring system. However, we strongly recommend utilizing a stable testing environment or center if your internet connection is unreliable, as technical disruptions can be detrimental.
    What is the "CSI Approach" mentioned in the syllabus?
    It is the core framework of the course, often described as a loop: What is the vision? Where are we now? Where do we want to be? How do we get there? Did we get there? How do we keep the momentum going? You will master this systematic loop.
    Is the ITIL v3 Practitioner still relevant?
    The fundamental principles (CSI, OCM, Guiding Principles) are timeless and form the actual foundation of modern ITIL 4. While the "v3" designation is legacy, the practical skills taught are exactly what employers seek today.
    How much does the ITIL Practitioner exam cost?
    Exam fees fluctuate based on region and bundling. In your region, it typically ranges between ₹25,000 to ₹35,000 when combined with training. Check our "Schedule" section for the most current, all-inclusive INR pricing.
    Do I need to renew this certification?
    Technically, ITIL certifications historically did not expire, but PeopleCert has implemented a renewal requirement every 3 years. You can renew by logging CPD points or by retaking an exam.
    Is this course useful if I work in an Agile/DevOps environment?
    Absolutely. The Guiding Principles (like "Progress Iteratively" and "Collaborate") are directly aligned with Agile and DevOps philosophies. This course aids you in bridging the gap between ITSM structure and Agile speed.
    How hard is the ITIL Practitioner exam compared to Foundation?
    It is significantly harder. Foundation is simple recall of information. Practitioner requires you to analyze a complex scenario and select the most appropriate course of action using the framework. This applied difficulty is why our dedicated training is crucial.

    Customer Testimonials

    Yes. Since it is an open-book exam, having the official text is critical. We provide the digital copy as part of your course kit, and hard copies are available for classroom participants.
    Is the training purely theoretical?
    No. The entire course is built around the "Adopt and Adapt" philosophy. We use real-world case studies and exercises to force you to apply the concepts, not just listen to slides.
    Who are the trainers?
    Our trainers are ITIL Experts and practicing consultants with 15+ years of experience in Indian IT service sectors. They don't just teach; they consult.
