Is it worth getting? Work have mentioned that they want me to do it but it looks like a waste of time from what I've seen. At least now hopefully I won't have to travel to London to do it so thats one plus point.

 

Sorry mate... missed this.

It's boring as buggery... but yes, I believe it is probably worth going for. ITIL seems to be the way a lot of businesses are moving now. You don't need long to study for it, and you should be able to do it self-study too, unless your emplyer is willing to pay.

After the Foundation, you then have the 'opportunity' (should you wish) to go down various routes to become Practioner-type ITIL certified.

My emplyer has advised they are happy to fund my going for the higher ITIL certs. Plus, they have suggested Cobit as well. I may miss that one though.

 

Well I've done foundation and the Service Desk and Incident Management practitioner.. I would say they're worth having if you intend to move into Service management at all..

 

For the practitioner, I know there are separate "sections" to it, as you've done two of tem, does that mean an exam per section? I ask as I know squat about it

 

Service Desk and Incident Management may sound like two, but I believe it is one certificate. There are also Problem Mgt, Change Mgt, Config Mgt, Release Mgt.... and so on.

Funnily enough, there is also a part of the ISEB portfolio that specialises in IT Architecture - it's the Solution Development & Delivery one from memory. Now that 'may' appeal more to some of the techies out there...

 

Service Desk and Incident Management are indeed one certificate.. I could have done the others but missed my oiginal foundation date (which you have to have to take a practitioner).. shame as I'd have liked to do the problem and change ones..
