PeopleCert certifications will have to be renewed

PeopleCert has recently announced that all its Global Best Practice certifications (also Foundation levels), including the most popular ones such as ITIL and PRINCE2, will have to be renewed.

If you were certified before 30 June 2020: You will have until 1 July 2023 to choose to renew your certification(s), regardless of your original award date.
If you were certified after June 2020: You will have the option to renew your certification(s) within 3 years of the original award date.

I just passed my ITIL foundation exam recently and it comes with renewal date.

There are several ways to renew the certification

  1. Retake the same exam: You can choose to renew your certification by re-taking your original exam before the renewal date.
  2. Take further courses and certifications: You can choose to renew your certification by attending another course and taking an exam within the same product suite before the renewal date.
  3. From March 2023, a third renewal path will be available: You will be able to choose to renew your certification through collecting and logging CPD points. More details on this path will follow soon.
