The framework, the certification path and what it means for your career
ITIL (Version 5) is the most significant update to the world’s most recognised IT service management framework in years. If you work in IT, it affects you. But between the framework documentation, the certification updates, and the 2027 sunset deadline, knowing where to start and what actually matters can feel overwhelming.
This recorded session cuts through the complexity. Hosted by Alan Nixon, an ITIL (Version 5) Master and practising ITIL trainer, it gives you a clear and structured introduction to everything you need to know about ITIL (Version 5), from the history of the framework and how we got here, to a full walkthrough of the Version 5 framework itself, to a practical deep dive into the certification pathway and what it means for your career specifically.
Whether you are new to ITIL, already certified and planning your transition, or responsible for capability planning across an IT team, this session gives you the clearest and most complete overview of ITIL (Version 5) available in a single session.
