The ITIL Service Transition Certificate Course is one of five lifecycle courses that fit into the intermediate stream for ITIL certification. It is a free-standing qualification but it is also a module contributing to the ITIL Expert in IT Service Management Certificate.
This certification is aimed at people involved with the management and control of Service Transition and, as such, does not cover process details in great depth. (For that level of information see the ITIL Expert Qualification: Release, Control and Validation Certificate).
Target Audience

- anyone involved in the ongoing management, coordination or integration of Transitional activities within the Service Lifecycle
