Institute for Information Science in the

examination provider and an independent organization establishing
educational requirements, for developing and organizing examinations
in the field of Information Technology.
EXIN has already
certified more than 250 000 professionals in IT, worldwide. EXIN has
more than 40 years of experience, and has acquired a thorough and
extensive knowledge in the field of IT certification. The quality of
the various examinations, is warranted, both didactically and with
respect to content.
EXIN has been involved
in the ITIL Certification area since ITIL’s inception in the early
1990’s and is now, along with ISEB and OGC one corner of the
tripartite arrangement for ITIL’s continued development. The other
two corners are the worldwide itSMF and some of the vendors who now
structure the supporting software to conform to best
practice.
Who is
ISEB?

Systems Examination Board is aligned with the British Computer
Society and focuses on providing certifications that add value to
professional careers by providing both the means and the platform
for recognition and enhanced career development.

industry standards, promoting career development and providing
competitive edge for employers. ITIL Certification, has become a
focus area adding to the stable of ISEB certifications over the

worldwide.
Who to choose?
This question is not
as relevant for ITIL Certification, as is “Which accredited provider
organization can provide me with ITIL knowledge that is valuable in
‘the real world’?”
You should choose an
organization that focuses their content and materials to not only
have you pass an exam but, provide you with rudimentary knowledge
that you can apply every day. ITIL Certification is a good starting
point for your employer to be sure you have prerequisite knowledge,
but at the end of the day, this is secondary to being able
to apply that knowledge!
