Important news about PRINCE2® and ITIL® and AXELOS

Written by SureSkills Training | Jan 27, 2022 3:06:59 PM

PeopleCert who were the sole examination and certification body for AXELOS programs, recently acquired AXELOS (the joint venture between the UK Government and Capita PLC). Following this, PeopleCert have embarked on a range of changes to the AXELOS courses that will affect your future certification and how you manage the certification of colleagues and teams in your organisation.

As one of the first AXELOS Accredited Training Organizations (ATO) for ITIL and PRINCE2, SureSkills continues to work closely with PeopleCert owners of AXELOS.

What Are These Important Changes & How Will They Affect You?

From February 2022; exams for PRINCE2 and ITIL can only be taken via Online Proctoring; your exam will now include the official textbook as an e-book, and as such PeopleCert has increased the exam price to incorporate the book cost.

Digital Courseware

ITIL and PRINCE2 exams now include the official eBook digitally bundled.

When you book your training course with SureSkills (ITIL4 or PRINCE2 etc) we will provide you with an exam voucher. With this voucher you will be entitled to schedule and book your exam slot and access the official textbook. This is to ensure that you have access to the best practice official textbook and to assist with your exam preparation.

You will get access to your own digital textbook through your PeopleCert account upon entering your voucher code. The digital textbook will be available in an App called Bookshelf. You will be able to make notes and access the official textbook offline through the Bookshelf App. You will be able to print up to 10 % of the digital official textbook.

Hard copy books are available for purchase direct from PeopleCert within your profile for an additional fee.

Scheduling Your Exam

You will NOT need to schedule your exam at the time of the voucher redemption - as is the case now. You will have the option to schedule the exam later, however, you will gain access to the official textbook on registration.
