    Is this a problem for you? For example I passed the ITIL foundation cert over a year ago and I could barely tell you anything about it as I dont work in an ITIL environment. Do you find that if you take an exam and pass and you arent working around the technology described in the exam on a daily basis, that you forget alot of the things you learned?

    Definitely although I find when's I see something I remember or ignore a conversation comes up, I know what people are talking about. But out of the blue write all I know, it's just fog

    Yeah, it's happened to me lots of time... Especially the more you learn, when you change job roles and employment, etc...
