Last Chance, Fast Track to ITIL Expert Certification Ends Soon

Jan. 17, 2011 - PRLog -- We live on a technology-reliant society. We have indeed arranged, as Dr. Carl Sagan once stated, a world in which the most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology. But with technology constantly changing, how can one capitalize on past investments in knowledge, without having to start over again? Is there a way to retain the value of that investment when technology changes so fast?

For IT support professionals who wish to apply existing skills and knowledge toward the latest ITIL Certification (http://www.the-resource-center.com/catalogs/certifications_ITIL.htm), the answer is yes. The RCCSP Professional Education Alliance is offering the last few ITIL v3 Service Manager Bridge Courses (http://the-resource-center.com/seminars/its-8.htm) for professionals who hold an earlier v2 version of ITIL Service Manager Certification and wish to upgrade their credentials to the ITIL v3 Expert Certification. This “bridging” opportunity is also available to ITIL v2 practitioners who have already earned 12 credits or more.

The v3 Bridge Course for Service Managers covers the subject areas of all five lifecycle stages new to v3 and those existing subject areas of v2 which have undergone significant change in v3. It will bridge the gap between the ITIL v2 Service Manager Certificate in IT Service Management and the ITIL Expert Certification.  

Once the Service Manager Bridge exam is retired on June 30, 2011, people with v2 Service Manager Certification will have to pass many ITIL exams to earn ITIL v3 credentials of equal prominence.

“Everyone in our industry expected the v2-to-v3 Bridge opportunity to evaporate in early 2010,” reports Nina Kawalek, CEO for RCCSP. “Many believe they missed the opportunity altogether. Not so. For those that made an enormous investment in Service Manager, there’s one last opportunity to reap the recognition at the v3 level. It’s the last chance for a cost-effective short-cut.”

RCCSP offers five remaining Service Manager Bridge Training and Examination sessions, before the opportunity ends:

Feb 14-18, '11 - Dallas, TX
Mar 7-10, '11 - Minneapolis, MN
Mar 7-10, '11 - Virtual Classroom
Apr 11-15, '11 - Ft Lauderdale, FL
May 2-6, '11 - Ottawa, ON
