ITIL® Managing Professional Transition (Version 5) provides an accelerated and efficient route for experienced ITIL professionals who want to move into ITIL (Version 5) without repeating knowledge they have already gained through previous certifications.
The five-day program is intended for professionals who hold ITIL 4 Managing Professional, ITIL 4 Master, ITIL v3 Expert or ITIL v3 Master. It protects the value of previous ITIL investment while concentrating on the most important changes introduced in the latest version of the framework.
The course focuses on updates across Foundation, Product, Service, Experience and Transformation. Learners explore how ITIL has evolved, which concepts have been enhanced, and how the updated guidance can be applied to modern digital product and service management.
A key element of the program is the stronger emphasis on human experience and the alignment of people, processes and technology. Learners examine how these elements can work together to create measurable organisational value and support sustainable transformation.
The course consolidates the essential concepts introduced across ITIL (Version 5) and prepares learners for both the ITIL Managing Professional Transition (Version 5) and ITIL Transformation (Version 5) certification examinations.
Throughout the program, learners will:
- Understand the most significant changes across the ITIL (Version 5) framework.
