ITIL Bridge Course: Overview

The ITIL bridge lets existing ITIL holders move to the latest version without retaking Foundation from scratch.

If you already hold an ITIL certification, the bridge course is the efficient route to the latest version.

What the bridge is

A shorter, focused course that updates existing ITIL holders to the current version, covering what’s changed rather than re-teaching the whole framework.

Who should take it

People who already hold ITIL (for example ITIL 4 Foundation) and want to stay current without repeating the full Foundation course.

What you’ll cover

  • What’s new and changed in the latest version.
  • How existing concepts map forward.
  • What you need to know for the bridge exam.

Next steps

See the ITIL Foundation Bridge (Version 5) course, or read Upgrade to ITIL Version 5 to decide if you need it.
