Changes to ITIL Accreditation Scheme

The ITIL v3 Accredited Training Organization Scheme defines the requirements for organizations offering ITIL training courses to the market. ITIL Accreditation Scheme includes the rules and regulations for training providers, trainers and Exam Institutes and is ratified by the official ITIL Qualification board.

An update of this document was recently published and includes relevant updates for all ITpreneurs partners. Some of the important changes:
  • Accredited Training Organizations defined and introduction of “ATO Affiliates” term
  • Trainer requirement changes
ITpreneurs is also going to offer full administrative support and related services towards our partners to obtain the Affiliate status, and be able to continue offering ITIL training to their customers. Please read more about the change to the ITIL certification scheme and the requirements which might apply for you.

The IT Governance Institute published the results of the report called “An executive view of IT Governance”.
