Common features of all ITIL V3 Intermediate courses.
- Each course has an 8 question multichoice examination of 90 minutes duration (except MALC which is 10 questions in 120 minutes) leading to an ITIL V3 Intermediate Certificate bearing the course name. The examination is held in the final hours of the course and the pass mark is 70%. Candidates sitting an examination in a language that is not their native language, and sitting the exam in a country where the language of the exam is not the business language of that country, have a maximum of 120 minutes (150 minutes for MALC) and are allowed the use of a dictionary.
- Each ITIL V3 Intermediate Certificate gained is accompanied by an award of credits towards the ITIL Expert Certificate qualification. To achieve the ITIL Expert Certificate requires 22 credits.
- Holding the ITIL V3 Foundation Certificate and attendance at the appropriate ITIL V3 Intermediate course are pre-requisites for taking a V3 Intermediate examination.
Further information on ITIL V3 Intermediate Examinations
- Each exam consists of 8 questions (except MALC which is 10 questions).
- Each question is based on a different scenario (except MALC which from May 2012 has only brief scenarios that relate to a single Case Study that is available well before the exam).
- Gradient-scoring is used.
- Gradient-scoring operates as follows: each question has 4 answer-options, one option is correct and is worth 5 marks, one is partially correct and is worth 3 marks, one is least correct and is worth 1 mark and one is incorrect and is worth zero marks.
- A total of 28 out of 40 marks (35 out of 50 for MALC) (70%) is needed to pass.
