ITIL exam coming up

I'm about to start my ITIL managers certificate next week and my colleagues have just done the exam last week. I also did my PRINCE2 foundation earlier this year. How could I be affected?

Ironic, isn't it?

"APMG was unable to respond adequately to the deadline laid down by UKAS due to staff shortage during the summer."

Exams are not affected

Dear Chris

APMG is not accredited by UKAS for its ITIL activities so ITIL exams are not affected by the suspension.

For PRINCE2, you also remain unaffected. The only difference will be for people taking the exams in the interim period before accreditation is regained, their certificates won't feature a UKAS logo.

For a full statement from Richard Pharro, APMG's managing director, please visit the press centre at www.apmgroup.co.uk

Anyone with queries should email APMG at [e-mail]
