Frequently Asked Questions

? What's the difference between ITIL 4 and ITIL 5?

ITIL 5 is an evolution of the ITIL 4 framework that preserves its core principles while expanding the methodology to cover digital product and service management, support for AI adoption, and a stronger emphasis on practical application in modern IT organizations. Compared to ITIL 4, it places greater weight on the full product and service lifecycle, their business value, and effective management within Agile, DevOps, and AI environments.

? How do I prove my ITIL 4 certification?

When ordering the new ITIL Foundation Bridge (Version 5), PeopleCert checks your ITIL 4 certification automatically, provided you use the same account, email address and Candidate ID you used for your ITIL 4 exam. The system matches your exam history and allows you to register.

If you took your ITIL 4 exam a long time ago or used a different email address, you may be asked to provide proof during registration. In that case, simply upload your ITIL 4 certificate as a PDF or enter your Candidate ID.

? Is there negative scoring for wrong answers?

No, there is no negative marking for incorrect answers. It is therefore worth answering every question, even if you are not completely sure of the answer.
