    General

    What is the ITIL 5 Foundation Bridge certification?

    The ITIL 5 Foundation Bridge is a transition certification from AXELOS and PeopleCert that lets ITIL 4 Foundation holders update their credential to ITIL 5. It focuses only on what is new and changed, so you gain the current credential without repeating foundation content.

    Who should take the ITIL 5 Bridge course in Switzerland?

    It is designed for ITIL 4 Foundation certified professionals such as service desk staff, service and problem managers, ITSM consultants and IT team leads who want to keep their credential current. It suits individuals and teams across Swiss banking, pharma and IT services.

    Is the ITIL 5 Bridge worth it?

    Yes. Keeping your ITIL credential at the current version signals up-to-date service management knowledge, which Swiss employers in regulated banking, insurance and life sciences value. Certified ITSM professionals are well paid, with IT service managers averaging around CHF 143,862 a year.

    Do I need ITIL 4 Foundation before the bridge?

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

    How long is the ITIL 5 credential valid?

    The ITIL 5 Foundation credential earned through the bridge 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.

    Is ITIL recognised across Switzerland?

    Yes. ITIL is the most widely adopted IT service management framework worldwide, and Swiss employers regularly reference it in incident, problem and change management roles. The credential is globally portable across sectors and countries.

    Pricing

    How much does ITIL 5 Bridge training cost in Switzerland?

    Pricing varies by format and provider, and the bridge is usually bought as a combined training and exam package. Exact fees are available on request. Contact a learning advisor for a current quote for live virtual or corporate delivery.

    What is included in the course fee?

    The training fee typically covers accredited courseware, instructor-led sessions, practice questions and exam preparation support, plus a course completion certificate. Confirm whether the PeopleCert exam voucher is bundled when you request a quote.

    Is the exam fee included in the price?

    The bridge is often sold as a training and exam bundle, but this varies by package. PeopleCert sets the exam fee, which can vary by region and currency. Ask your advisor which option includes the exam voucher.

    Do you offer corporate or group pricing?

    Yes. We offer volume-based corporate pricing for teams transitioning together to ITIL 5, with onsite or live virtual delivery across Switzerland. Request a group quote for your organisation.

    What payment options are available?

    We accept major credit and debit cards and bank transfers, with instalment options on selected plans. Speak with a learning advisor to choose the option that suits you.

    Exam

    What is the format of the ITIL 5 Bridge exam?

    The ITIL 5 Foundation Bridge exam is a closed-book, multiple-choice test delivered online with PeopleCert proctoring or at an authorised test centre. It covers only the new and changed content in ITIL 5 across five topic areas.

    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 is closed book and uses single-answer questions.

    What is the passing score for the bridge exam?

    The pass mark is 65 percent, which means answering at least 13 of the 20 questions correctly. Focus your preparation on what is new and changed in ITIL 5 relative to ITIL 4.

    What are the prerequisites to sit the exam?

    You must hold the ITIL 4 Foundation certification before taking the bridge exam. There is no formal education or work-experience requirement, though the course assumes practising ITSM knowledge.

    What happens if I do not pass the first time?

    You can resit the exam with PeopleCert. Re-sit terms and fees vary, so confirm the current policy when you book. Our trainers and practice resources are designed to help you prepare with confidence before exam day.

    Which standard is the exam based on?

    The exam is based on the ITIL Foundation Bridge Version 5 syllabus published by PeopleCert and AXELOS. It tests the differences between ITIL 4 and ITIL 5, not the full ITIL 5 Foundation syllabus.

    Course Content

    What topics does the ITIL 5 Bridge course cover?

    The course covers the five bridge topic areas: the 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.

    Do I need prior experience to follow the course?

    You should already hold ITIL 4 Foundation, as the bridge builds on that knowledge. Beyond that, no extra experience is required; the trainer focuses on what has changed, so your existing ITIL 4 knowledge is enough to keep up.

    What learning resources are provided?

    You receive accredited ITIL 5 courseware, practice questions mapped to the bridge syllabus, and exam preparation guidance. The materials concentrate on the new and updated ITIL 5 content rather than full foundation topics.

    Is the courseware aligned with the latest ITIL 5 syllabus?

    Yes. The courseware is aligned to the current ITIL Foundation Bridge Version 5 syllabus from PeopleCert and AXELOS, covering the product and service lifecycle, the ITIL Value System and value stream management.

    Will I receive a certificate after the training?

    You receive a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning after the training, and the official ITIL 5 Foundation credential from PeopleCert once you pass the bridge exam.

    Enrollment

    How do I enrol in the ITIL 5 Bridge course?

    You can enrol through the Invensis Learning website. Choose your preferred format, complete payment, and you will receive access to schedules, courseware and learning resources. Talk to an advisor if you need help choosing a batch.

    What training formats are available?

    We offer online (live virtual) instructor-led training and customised corporate group training for teams. Choose the format that fits your schedule anywhere across Switzerland.

    How soon can I start the training?

    New live virtual cohorts run regularly, and corporate batches are scheduled around your team's availability. Check upcoming schedules or speak with a learning advisor to find the next suitable date.

    Can a team transition to ITIL 5 together?

    Yes. Corporate group training lets your whole ITSM team update to ITIL 5 in one coordinated programme, delivered onsite or live virtual. Request a group quote to arrange dates that suit your organisation.

    Can I reschedule or transfer my enrolment?

    Yes. Flexible options let you reschedule or transfer to another batch where your plan allows. Contact our support team to arrange a change.
