    Is the ITIL 5 Foundation credential recognised in the Netherlands?

    Yes. ITIL is a globally recognised IT service management framework from AXELOS, and the ITIL 5 Foundation credential is valued by Dutch employers across BFSI, high-tech, logistics, the public sector and managed service providers, as well as across the wider EU.

    How long is the ITIL 5 Foundation credential valid?

    The credential is valid for three years. To maintain it, you renew within each three-year cycle by earning 60 CPD points or by passing a higher ITIL 5 qualification. Confirm current renewal details on the PeopleCert portal.

    Pricing

    How much does the ITIL 5 Bridge training cost in the Netherlands?

    Pricing is available on request and depends on the delivery format and whether you choose individual or corporate training. The PeopleCert exam fee is billed separately and varies by region and channel. Request a quote or speak with a learning advisor for current figures.

    What is included in the course fee?

    The training fee typically includes accredited courseware, instructor-led sessions, practice questions and post-training support. Exam vouchers may be bundled or purchased separately. Ask a learning advisor for a detailed inclusions list and a quote.

    Is the exam fee included in the training price?

    The PeopleCert exam fee is usually billed separately from the training fee and varies by region, currency and purchasing channel. We can quote a combined training-and-exam package on request.

    Do you offer group or corporate pricing?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for ITSM teams, service desks and operations functions. Contact us for a tailored group quote.

    What payment options are available?

    We accept major credit and debit cards and bank transfers, and offer 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 closed book and uses multiple-choice questions. It is delivered through PeopleCert online proctoring, available 24/7, or at an authorised test centre. It tests only what is new and changed in ITIL 5 relative to ITIL 4.

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

    The bridge exam has 20 multiple-choice questions and a duration of 30 minutes. Because it is a transition exam, it focuses purely on the differences between ITIL 4 and ITIL 5.

    What is the passing score for the bridge exam?

    The pass mark is around 65%, which is 13 of 20 questions correct. Aim for solid understanding across all of the new and updated ITIL 5 topics. Confirm the current pass mark on the PeopleCert portal before booking.

    Do I need ITIL 4 Foundation to sit the bridge exam?

    Yes. The ITIL 4 Foundation certification is the prerequisite for the bridge. If you do not hold ITIL 4 Foundation, you should take the full ITIL 5 Foundation exam instead of the bridge.

    What if I do not pass the exam the first time?

    You can resit the exam by purchasing another attempt through PeopleCert. Our trainers help you target weak areas before you re-book, and selected plans include retake support. Ask a learning advisor about the options available to you.

    Course Content

    What topics does the ITIL 5 Bridge cover?

    The course covers what is new and changed in ITIL 5: the key enhancements over ITIL 4, digital and AI-enabled product and service management, updated language and core concepts, the enhanced value creation approach, and applying ITIL 5 in practice.

    Can I take the bridge if my ITIL 4 knowledge is rusty?

    Yes. The course assumes ITIL 4 Foundation as a baseline but the trainer briefly anchors each change against what you already know. If your ITIL 4 knowledge is very dated, a short refresher beforehand helps you get the most from the day.

    What learning materials are provided?

    You receive accredited ITIL 5 courseware, references to the ITIL Foundation Bridge Version 5 syllabus, practice questions and revision aids that focus on the differences between ITIL 4 and ITIL 5.

    Is the courseware aligned with the latest ITIL 5 syllabus?

    Yes. The courseware is aligned to the official ITIL Foundation Bridge Version 5 syllabus published by AXELOS and PeopleCert, so you learn the current, accredited content.

    Will I get a certificate after the training?

    You receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning after the training. The ITIL 5 Foundation credential itself is awarded by PeopleCert once you pass the bridge exam.

    Enrollment

    How soon can I start and how do I enrol?

    You can enrol through the Invensis Learning website, choose your preferred format and complete payment to receive schedules and courseware. New live online batches run regularly. See upcoming schedules or talk to a learning advisor to pick a date.

    What training formats are available?

    We offer live online (live virtual) instructor-led training and customised corporate group training, so you can choose the format that fits your schedule and team. Onsite delivery is available for organisations across the Netherlands.

    Do I need any prior certification to enrol?

    To gain full value and to sit the bridge exam, you should already hold ITIL 4 Foundation. You can enrol in the training to prepare, but the bridge credential pathway assumes existing ITIL 4 Foundation knowledge.

    Can I reschedule or transfer my enrolment?

    Yes. Flexi options let you reschedule or transfer to another batch where available. Contact our support team to arrange a change to your enrolment.

    What is the refund or cancellation policy?

    Refunds and cancellations are handled per our published policy, and selected plans include a money-back option. Reach out to our team for the details that apply to your enrolment.
