Exam & certification

  • How do I become ITIL® Intermediate OSA certified?

    The certification is offered to candidates who fulfill the prerequisites and pass the exam. The ITIL® Intermediate OSA exam is governed by APMG, EXIN, and CSME. To qualify to take the exam you must first participate in a course offered through an Accredited Training Organization (ATO) or an accredited e-learning solution. Simplilearn is accredited by APMG and TUV as an ITIL Foundation and Intermediate Training provider. Simplilearn is also an Accredited Examination Centre (AEC) by APMG, TUV, and EXIN.

  • What are the prerequisites for the ITIL® Intermediate OSA certification?

    To be eligible for the examination leading to the ITIL® Intermediate OSA Certificate, you must fulfill the following requirements:
    • Undertake at least 28 contact hours (hours of instruction, excluding breaks) with an Accredited Training Organization (ATO) or an accredited e-learning solution as part of a formal, approved training course or program.
    • Hold the ITIL Foundation Certificate in IT Service Management (or other appropriate earlier ITIL and bridge qualifications).
    • Two to four years of professional experience working in IT service management is highly desirable.

  • What do I need to do to unlock my certificate of course participation?

    Online self-learners must complete 85% of the course to receive their certificate of participation from Simplilearn.

  • Until when can I procure exam voucher from Simplilearn?

    Your exam voucher fee is included in the price of this course. However, you must procure the exam voucher within six months from the date of course purchase. In case the exam price goes up and you have not yet booked the exam, you will need to pay the difference in amount to Simplilearn.

  • How frequently does exam fee change?

    Exam prices are dynamic and governed by the certification body. Normally price changes are announced during the end of the calendar year. You will be liable to pay the difference amount to Simplilearn if you had not booked the exam and the exam price is hiked in the meantime.

  • What is the validity of my exam voucher?

    Exam vouchers are valid for 1 year from the date of issuance. If you do not book the exam within 1 year from purchase of voucher, you will need to buy the voucher again per the actual price.

  • Can I ask for refund of exam voucher cost once its issued to me?
