ITIL® 2011 Edition Intermediate Level Qualifications
There are two certification streams in the ITIL Intermediate Level, and they both assess your ability to comprehend and apply ITIL concepts. You need a minimum of 15 points to complete the intermediate level, and these must be obtained as part of a balanced program overall. The two streams are the Service Capability series and the Service Lifecycle series.
ITIL® 2011 Edition Service Capability Stream
The Service Capability series will give you a deep level understanding of ITIL® 2011 Editionprocesses and roles. While attention to the Service Lifecycle is illustrated as part of the curriculum, the primary focus is the process activities, execution and use throughout the Service Lifecycle.
