    The ITIL Foundation Bridge Version 5 is a one-day certification that updates existing ITIL 4 Foundation holders to ITIL 5, the latest edition of the IT service management framework from AXELOS and PeopleCert. It is designed for practising service management professionals who want the current credential without repeating ITIL 4 content.

    Is the ITIL 5 Bridge worth it for professionals in Abu Dhabi?

    Yes. Abu Dhabi is investing AED 13 billion in digital infrastructure and targeting an AI-native government by 2027, so employers in government, energy, telecom and banking increasingly expect the current ITIL edition. Holding ITIL 5 keeps you relevant and competitive for senior service management roles.

    What credential do I get after passing the Bridge exam?

    On passing, you hold the full ITIL 5 Foundation credential, equivalent to sitting the complete ITIL 5 Foundation exam. It also opens progression to higher ITIL 5 qualifications.

    Do I need ITIL 4 Foundation before taking the Bridge?

    Yes. The ITIL 4 Foundation certification is the prerequisite for the Bridge. Candidates who do not hold ITIL 4 Foundation should take the full ITIL 5 Foundation course and exam instead.

    How long is the ITIL 5 Foundation credential valid?

    The credential is valid for three years. You renew it by earning 60 CPD points within the three-year cycle or by passing a higher ITIL 5 qualification, as specified by PeopleCert.

    Pricing

    How much does ITIL 5 Bridge training cost in Abu Dhabi?

    Training is usually purchased as a combined one-day course and exam package, and pricing varies by format and schedule. Local pricing is available on request in AED. Request a quote and a learning advisor will share current options.

    What is included in the course fee?

    The fee typically includes instructor-led training on the new and changed ITIL 5 content, courseware aligned with AXELOS and PeopleCert standards, practice questions and exam preparation support. Confirm exact inclusions when you request a quote.

    Is the exam fee included in the training price?

    It depends on the package. Many enrolments bundle the PeopleCert exam with the training, while some are training only. PeopleCert pricing varies by region and channel, so confirm whether the exam is included when you ask for a quote.

    The exam is closed book with 20 multiple-choice questions to be completed in 30 minutes. It is delivered by PeopleCert, either online proctored through OnVUE or at an authorised test centre.

    What is the passing score for the ITIL 5 Bridge exam?

    The pass mark is 65%, which means answering at least 13 of the 20 questions correctly. The exam focuses only on what is new and changed in ITIL 5 relative to ITIL 4.

    Which ITIL version is the exam based on?

    The exam is based on the ITIL Foundation Bridge Version 5 syllabus published by AXELOS and PeopleCert. It tests only the new and updated ITIL 5 content, not the full Foundation syllabus you already covered in ITIL 4.

    Course Content

    What topics does the ITIL 5 Bridge cover?

    The course covers the key enhancements in ITIL 5, digital product and service management, updated language and core concepts, the enhanced value creation approach, and how to apply ITIL 5 in practice. It focuses only on what changed from ITIL 4.

    Do I need prior experience beyond ITIL 4 Foundation?

    No further qualification is required beyond ITIL 4 Foundation. The Bridge assumes your existing ITIL 4 knowledge and builds on it, so practising service management professionals can follow the one-day format comfortably.

    What learning materials are provided?

    You receive courseware aligned with AXELOS and PeopleCert standards covering the new ITIL 5 content, plus practice questions and exam preparation guidance to build readiness for the Bridge exam.
