Demand is strong across nearshore IT and global business services hubs. Talk to a learning advisor to plan your route.

    Do I need ITIL 4 Foundation before the Bridge?

    Yes. ITIL 4 Foundation, or an equivalent qualification, is the prerequisite for the Bridge. Candidates who do not hold ITIL 4 Foundation should take the full ITIL 5 Foundation course instead.
