    General

    What is the ITIL 5 Foundation Bridge and who is it for?

    The ITIL 5 Foundation Bridge is an accredited transition qualification that updates ITIL 4 Foundation holders to ITIL 5, the current edition of the ITIL service management framework. It is designed for practising ITSM professionals who already hold ITIL 4 Foundation and want the latest credential.

    Is the ITIL 5 Foundation Bridge worth it for my career?

    Yes. It gives you the current ITIL 5 Foundation credential that employers across Plovdiv's nearshore and shared-services sectors increasingly expect, and it opens the full ITIL 5 qualification pathway. Roles from service desk lead to service delivery manager value an up-to-date ITIL credential.

    Do I need ITIL 4 Foundation before taking the bridge?

    Yes. The bridge assumes ITIL 4 Foundation knowledge and is built only on what is new in ITIL 5. If you do not hold ITIL 4 Foundation, you should take the full ITIL 5 Foundation course instead.

    Who awards the ITIL 5 Foundation Bridge certification?

    ITIL was created by AXELOS, now part of PeopleCert, which owns, publishes and examines all ITIL qualifications. Passing the bridge grants the ITIL 5 Foundation credential, which is recognised worldwide.

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

    Is the exam fee included in the training price?

    It depends on the package. PeopleCert bills the bridge exam fee, which may be bundled with training or purchased separately. Ask us which option suits you best.

    Exam

    What is the format of the ITIL 5 Foundation Bridge exam?

    The bridge exam is closed book with multiple-choice questions covering only what is new and changed in ITIL 5. It is delivered online with PeopleCert remote proctoring or at an authorised test centre.

    How many questions are on the exam and how long is it?

    The exam has 20 multiple-choice questions and a duration of 30 minutes. It tests only the ITIL 5 updates rather than the full Foundation syllabus.

    What score do I need to pass the bridge exam?

    You need 65%, which is 13 of the 20 questions correct, to pass. Focus your preparation on the new ITIL 5 concepts, language and value approach covered in the bridge.

    What is the prerequisite for the bridge exam?

    You must hold ITIL 4 Foundation or an equivalent to take the bridge. It assumes that knowledge and tests only the ITIL 5 changes, not foundational content you already know.

    How do I book the exam, and can I resit it?

    After your training you schedule the exam through PeopleCert, either online with remote proctoring available 24/7 or at an authorised test centre. If you do not pass first time, you can resit by booking a new attempt, for which a re-examination fee applies.

    Course Content

    What does the ITIL 5 Foundation Bridge cover?

    The bridge covers five topic areas: key enhancements in ITIL 5, digital product and service management, updated language and core concepts, the enhanced value creation approach, and applying ITIL 5 in practice. It focuses only on what is new since ITIL 4.

    What is new in ITIL 5 compared with ITIL 4?

    ITIL 5 introduces the product and service lifecycle, an evolved ITIL Value System, value stream mapping and management, and an explicit focus on digital and AI-enabled services. The bridge concentrates on exactly these changes.

    Do I need prior experience to take this course?

    You need ITIL 4 Foundation knowledge, as the bridge builds on it. No additional work experience is formally required, though the course suits practising ITSM professionals.

    What learning materials are provided?

    You receive accredited courseware aligned to the ITIL Foundation Bridge Version 5 syllabus, practice questions, and trainer-led examples that map the ITIL 5 updates to real service work.

    How long is the training?

    The bridge is a focused programme delivered over a single training day, since it covers only the ITIL 5 updates rather than the full Foundation syllabus.

    Enrollment

    How soon can I start and how do I enrol?

    You can enrol through the Invensis Learning website, choose your preferred format, and get access to schedules and courseware. New online and onsite cohorts run regularly. See upcoming batches or talk to an advisor.
