Description

Already ITIL® 4 Foundation certified? This focused 1-day course is the fast, cost-effective route to upgrading your credentials to ITIL® Foundation (Version 5). Rather than repeating what you already know, the Bridge course covers only what is new in Version 5.

This course provides the expanded scope, updated concepts and unified digital product and service lifecycle. It will prepare you for the ITIL® Foundation Bridge examination, awarded by PeopleCert. Upon passing, you will be awarded the ITIL® Foundation (Version 5) certification.

Why upgrade to ITIL® Version 5?

ITIL® Version 5 is an evolution of ITIL® 4, not a reset. Your existing ITIL® 4 Foundation certification and learning investment remain valid, Version 5 builds on that foundation and expands the framework to better support modern, digital-first operating models.

Where ITIL® 4 focused on IT service management, ITIL® Version 5 goes further. As IT moves to the front lines of business, it is relevant wherever digital products and services create value. Version 5 is designed for AI-driven, digital-first organisations and expands the framework from service management to full digital product and service management.

Key updates covered in this Bridge course include:

  • The shift from IT service management to full digital product and service management

  • A unified lifecycle that brings products and services together as two sides of the same coin

  • How the ITIL® framework has evolved to support AI, automation, data-driven decision-making and modern ways of working

  • Updated shared language, core concepts and guiding principles relevant to Version 5

About this course

This 1-day virtual classroom course is designed exclusively for ITIL® 4 Foundation certificate holders. It focuses on the changes introduced in ITIL® Version 5 and gives you everything you need to pass the Foundation Bridge examination and earn your ITIL® Foundation (Version 5) certification. It does not repeat ITIL® 4 content you already know.

If you hold an ITIL® v3 certification rather than ITIL® 4, this course is not suitable, you will need to complete the full ITIL® Foundation (Version 5) course instead.

What will I learn?

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

  • Explain the key changes introduced in ITIL® Version 5 and how they build on ITIL® 4

  • Describe the unified digital product and service lifecycle and how it addresses gaps in delivery, reliability and customer experience

  • Explain how value is co-created through the effective management of digital products and services

  • Apply updated ITIL® Version 5 concepts, terminology and guiding principles in your organisation

  • Describe how the ITIL® framework has evolved to support AI, automation and modern digital operations

Who is this course for?

This course is designed specifically for professionals who hold an ITIL® 4 Foundation certification and want to upgrade to ITIL® Foundation (Version 5). It is particularly relevant to:

  • IT service managers and IT operations professionals holding ITIL® 4 Foundation

  • Help desk, service desk and support staff with existing ITIL® 4 credentials

  • Project managers, business analysts and IT leaders who completed ITIL® 4 Foundation

  • Anyone planning to pursue ITIL® (Version 5) advanced qualifications, for whom Foundation (Version 5) is a prerequisite

Are there any prerequisites?

ITIL® 4 Foundation certification is required to attend this course and sit the Bridge examination. You will need to provide proof of your ITIL® 4 Foundation certificate upon registration.

If you hold an ITIL® v3 certification, please enrol in the full ITIL® Foundation (Version 5) course instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the difference between the Bridge course and the full Foundation course?

    The full ITIL® Foundation (Version 5) course is a 2-day programme covering the entire framework from the ground up, designed for those new to ITIL® or upgrading from v3. The Bridge course is a 1-day programme for ITIL® 4 Foundation holders only, covering just the changes introduced in Version 5. Both lead to the same ITIL® Foundation (Version 5) certification.

  • Will my ITIL® 4 Foundation certificate still be valid after completing this course?

    Yes. ITIL® Version 5 is an evolution of ITIL® 4. Completing the Bridge course adds the ITIL® Foundation (Version 5) certification to your credentials, it does not invalidate your ITIL® 4 Foundation certificate.

  • I hold an ITIL® v3 certification. Can I take the Bridge course?

    No. The Bridge course is designed exclusively for ITIL® 4 Foundation holders. If you hold an ITIL® v3 certification, you will need to complete the full ITIL® Foundation (Version 5) course.

  • What comes after ITIL® Foundation (Version 5)?

    Foundation (Version 5) is the prerequisite for all ITIL® (Version 5) advanced modules. Depending on your role and goals, you can progress towards the Practice Manager, Managing Professional or Strategic Leader designation, or pursue all three to achieve ITIL® Master status.
