Frequently asked questions
Is HVIT a DevOps course?
Not in a technical sense. It is not about tools such as pipelines but about how service management works together with approaches such as DevOps, Lean and Agile.
Is an ITIL 4 module still worth it now that ITIL (Version 5) exists?
PeopleCert is running ITIL 4 and ITIL (Version 5) in parallel for a period and currently plans to retire all ITIL 4 modules on 31 December 2027. PeopleCert describes specific transition routes into ITIL (Version 5) for people who hold ITIL 4 certificates.
