9 Credits required to train ITIL® v3 Foundation

Effective, June 1, 2009, all trainers will be required to have nine credit points in order to train ITIL® V.3 Foundation and the Qualification Board has waived the requirement for an accredited course for the trainer certification to enable trainers to more easily obtain this credit requirement.

As the new trainer criteria will be introduced by APMG as of June 1, 2009 affecting trainers on our English-language materials, we have reviewed our database and are approaching instructors not meeting the requirements. ITpreneurs will work with these trainers to support their study through bootcamps and special study packages.

If you need more information on how ITpreneurs can help you meet the new requirements, please contact us at marketing@itpreneurs.com.
