ITIL/Intermediate
ITIL Intermediate is the learning zone after the ITIL Foundations certificate.
It has two major streams - Service Capability and Service Lifecycle - followed by a unit called Managing Across the Lifecycle. Completing a minimum of 22 credits in the Capability and or Lifecycle units as well as completing the Managing Across the Lifecycle unit will qualify you for the ITIL Expert Certification.
