ISO/IEC 20000 Candidates Receive Credit in ITIL V3

UTRECHT, The Netherlands, December 1 - The skill-based broad approach to IT frameworks has earned EXIN's ISO/IEC
20000 certification program an official status within ITIL V3 Qualification
Scheme. The complementary status awarded to the ISO/IEC 20000 certification
grants one ITIL V3 credit to successful ISO Foundation candidates which can
then contribute to ITIL V3 Expert certification.

IT Service Management according to ISO/IEC 20000 is designed to give
professionals the knowledge they need to navigate the large selection of IT
best practice frameworks available today. This qualification program is
suitable for a wide variety of IT professionals, at all levels, who are
involved in the quality improvement of IT Services and ITSM.

ITIL V3 opens its doors

The 'Complementary Qualifications Scheme' is an initiative run by The APM
Group in association with itSMF International and its International
Qualifications and Certifications Committee (IQC). The scheme allows all
Licensed Exam Institutes to submit certifications for assessment by a panel
of experts at the IQC for their relevance and the supplementary content they
offer to the existing V3 portfolio of examinations and certifications.

The successful outcome of this assessment will be the recognition of
these certifications as 'Complementary Qualifications' and the awarding of
credits within the scheme. The Foundation certificate in IT Service
Management according to ISO/IEC 20000 qualification was jointly developed and
is offered by both EXIN and TUV SUD Akademie as part of a broad portfolio of
IT Service Management and Quality Management certifications.

All paths to excellence

EXIN Sales Director Aldo van Duivenboden said, "The Complementary
Qualifications Scheme initiated by The APM Group is an innovative approach to
integrating the complex world of IT best practices. The focus on skills and
competencies offered by the ISO/IEC 20000 Qualification Program makes it a
valuable addition to the renowned ITIL Qualification Scheme used by many of
the world's top businesses and organizations. We are very proud that
candidates now widely benefit from the many certification options available
on their path to personal career development."
