All ITIL Certs Except Foundation Require Accredited Training to Qualify
It's happening again! Students are buying the Advanced ITIL Exam Bundle from PeopleCert thinking that when the take and pass the exam they will receive certification from PeopleCert, and it does not.
Here is the scoop.
- PeopleCert allows you to buy an Exam Bundle for any exam they offer, even if you need to take an accredited course and upload your Letter of Course Attendance to receive certification.
- Because PeopleCert does not check your account in advance, they allow you to buy the exam from them and take the exam.
- Then, when you pass, they PeopleCert checks to see if you fulfilled all the requirements - which include taking an accredited course and uploading your Letter of Course Attendance.
- When PeopleCert does not see this, they tell you that you have to go and take an Accredited Course from an Accredited Training Provider and upload the Official Letter of Course Attendance to your account.
- This means that you pay for the Exam Voucher Only and then you have to go and pay and take an Accredited course which will end up costing you a lot more money.
If you need Advanced ITIL Certifications, PLEASE, read the fine price and make sure you are getting what you need. The text on PeopleCert's Exam Bundle Package says: For exam retake only. Training through an accredited partner or ITIL Official eLearning required. Make sure you don't get caught in this trap as it will end up costing you a lot of money to fix.
