Recently, there has been an increase in ITIL® and PRINCE2® training courses offered on platforms such as Udemy or by providers such as D+J Academy. We would like to expressly point out that many of these offerings are illegal.
These providers or platforms are not officially accredited training partners of PeopleCert. This means:
- The training sessions offered are not permitted.
- It is not possible to take the mandatory ITIL® and PRINCE2® exams through these providers.
- Buyers and sellers of such offerings are in violation of trademark law because they use protected terms such as ITIL® and PRINCE2® without the necessary license. This may result in legal consequences.
A training course offered for €69, for example, is on the same level—both legally and in terms of quality—as a so-called Louis Vuitton bag you might buy on the beach.
What should you look for?
To ensure that you receive high-quality, officially recognized training, always book your ITIL® and PRINCE2® courses with an accredited training partner.
You can find an official list of accredited training organizations (ATO) directly on the PeopleCert website: www.peoplecert.org. Only trust providers listed there—like us. This ensures not only the highest quality but also the opportunity to take the official exams.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
