The ITIL V3 Service Management methodology has now been in place since 2007, and is well established as the industry standard qualification framework for IT Service Management.

The Office of Government Commerce (OGC) who are responsible for ITIL recently conducted a survey, and found that less than 8% of the 1300 responses they received felt that there was a need for the old ITIL V2 qualification framework to be continued beyond the next 2 years.

They have therefore taken the decision to withdraw all ITIL V2 qualifications and publications by the end of 2010, being completely replaced by ITIL V3.

Silicon Beach Training provide regular public ITIL Training courses in Brighton.

The ITIL V2 withdrawal will occur in stages, and the timetable for withdrawal is as follows:

ITIL V2 Foundation to cease 30 June 2010

ITIL V2 Manager to cease 31 August 2010

ITIL V2 Practitioner to cease 31 Dec 2010

ITIL Foundation Bridge to cease 31 Dec 2010
(All of the above will be available for re-sits until 30 June 2011)

ITIL Manager Bridge to cease 30 June 2011

ITIL V2 Service Support and Service Delivery publications will be removed on 30 June 2011. Though in the later period these may only be available as ‘print on demand’ or in electronic formats.

Continued availability of all other ITIL version 2 publications will be considered on a case by case basis as they come up for reprint, with all being removed no later than 30 June 2011.
