The IT Skeptic - Comments for "the world of ITIL V3 certification and training"

current decision

I think you will find that the current decision is very clearly NOT to put the exams on Prometric and to hell with the Developing Nations. if they are put on Prometric then that will be because APMG and IQB changed their minds. No matter who or where you are, right now the plan is that you will pay for training first.

I hope you are right and that they will listen and find a way to accomodate those who don't see a consulting career ahead to pay the training fees, or can't get their boss to fund it, or come from an economy where that kind of money is unthinkable.

APMG Group and APMG

Just to add to the confusion as well...

there is APM Group - the accreditor
and APMG - an Examination Institute in their own right - so akin to ISEB, EXIN, Loyalist College etc

It's no wonder we're all confused!

There's been a lot of good work done around the V3 accreditation scheme so far, but there is lots of work that still needs to be done. Hopefully groups like the QB will listen to the feedback that's coming from the market around issues like making exams available on Prometric, particularly to developing markets.
