ITIL certification decisions cost time and money. This guide exists to give you the facts, clearly, without guesswork.
We are an accredited training organization, not PeopleCert. We explain the framework and the scheme in our own words, and we say so where a summary is ours.
Every fact comes from one verified data set, checked against PeopleCert web pages and official documents, or against accredited training organization reports where PeopleCert has not published a detail. If we cannot source a fact, we leave it out.
The whole guide was last verified on 27 September 2026. When PeopleCert updates its guidance, we update the data and the date.
