Credit for ITIL - ridin8ude - 12-22-2006
Short Question:
Does anyone know if A.C.E. provides credit/certification for ITIL certificates?
I have several and would like to apply them to my Excelsior BMI degree.
(I've found something about this on the ACE website and relates to this company Management Training and IT Training - Learning Tree International, but not sure how to translate this into credit for my degree)
Long Question:
I'm working overseas (in IT) for an oil company based out of the Netherlands...
We've implemented ITIL processes which are a set of IT industry best practices.
I'm currently attending a 5k USD Service Manager Master certification program, and have already earned several lower level certificates for ITIL e.g. foundation and multiple practitioners.
While ITIL is a set of best practices written by OGC from the UK and being primarily pushed by Dutch training companies (Exin and ISEP), I'm really surprised that I can't find more information about this program on the web as it applies to the USA.
I have what relates to very unique and industry leading skills and certification in this area, but can't see a tangible way to apply this to any degree in the USA.
Has anyone had luck getting credit for this work/experience preferably without going the portfolio assessment route???

[SIZE="2"]Although I cannot answer your questions, and perhaps someone else here in the IC-Forum can lead you in the right direction, the BEST ANSWER would come from your EC-Academic Advisor; perhaps you can send them your questions to them for a confirmed answer - GOOD LUCK!![/SIZE]

If you've already been to ACE's website, then I'm guessing you already found their national guide to college credit for workforce training:
ACE | National Guide to College Credit for Workforce Training
If that doesn't tell you what you need, then your best bet's going to be to talk to a college advisor at Excelsior.......

Thanks for the replies.
I'm just curious if anyone else has experience with ITIL or getting credit for it.
If not, I'll try to post what info I find out about ITIL credit in this thread for future reference for everyone.
I'll take the advice to try my Excelsior advisor's and see what they come up with...
