Question:

Is there an official ITIL Foundation Exam study guide?

Answer:

In the past, the Official ITIL® Publisher (Office of Government Commerce) did publish an official study guide for ITIL® Foundation Exam aspirants – Passing Your ITIL® Foundation Exam: Study Aid – The official book of ITIL® of which the author is OGC (Office of Government Commerce). However this guide is for the 2009 version of the ITIL® Foundation exam which has been superseded by the ITIL® 4 Foundation Exam.

Currently, with the change in the structure of ITIL® governing bodies, the book is not updated to the current ITIL® Exam edition. Instead, another book titled “Passing Your ITIL® Foundation Exam” which is published by the Stationery Office, UK – the privatized publishing arm of Her Majesty’s Stationery Office and also the official ITIL® publisher, is now considered the official ITIL® 4 Foundation Exam book.

The ITIL® book is endorsed by the Official ITIL® Accreditor. It is currently the only official ITIL® Foundation Exam prep book that is updated in line with the ITIL® 4 Foundation syllabus. The book tries to present ITIL® Foundation syllabus in an easy-to-follow structure. It is suited for both self-study or as a complement for classroom learning. Readers will be able to develop an understanding of ITIL® basic concepts, principles and terminology associated with IT service management.

You can take a preview of the official ITIL® study guide at Amazon.
