In-Course Assessment and Exam Details

ITIL® 4 Leader: Digital & IT Strategy (DITS) includes four case study assignments that are graded in-session. Candidates must pass all the case study assignments to take the exam. This will be confirmed to candidates by the trainers before the end of the training.

Candidates who fail to complete the case study assignments in-session may be given an additional individual written assignment that is based on the same case study.

Once candidates pass the in-course assessment, they can sit for the second part of the course assessment, a 30-question multiple-choice exam. As part of the course fee, each candidate receives an exam voucher which allows them to schedule the exam at their convenience on any date after completion of the course.

Strategic Leader exam candidates are given 60 minutes to complete the exam and must receive a passing grade of 70% in order to receive their certificate.
