ITIL 4 Strategist DPI FAQs
What background do I need to take the instructor-led class?
ITIL 4 Strategist Direct Plan and Improve is aimed at managers of all levels involved in shaping direction and strategy or developing a continually improving team. It will cover both practical and strategic elements.
What do I need to complete before the instructor-led class?
Before your event, you will be sent an electronic Pre-Course Study Guide and the ITIL 4 Managing Professional Direct, Plan and Improve book, which you should read as part of the 21 hours of personal study.
How does this ITIL 4 Strategist: Direct, Plan and Improve course help me achieve either ITIL 4 Managing Professional or Strategic Leader Certification?
Once you have ITIL 4 Foundation certification, this crossover course fulfills a core requirement for one of the four ITIL 4 Managing Professional core requirements and one of the two Strategic Leader certification requirements.
How do I know if I am eligible for the Take2 exam retake option?
For publicly scheduled course events with a start date after April 1, 2021, Learning Tree will set up the Take2 option for all attendees when we order your exam voucher. If you aren’t successful on your first exam, you will be notified by PeopleCert that you are eligible to register for the exam retake. Unfortunately, those who attended a course event before April 1 and attendees of private or closed training events are not eligible for this benefit unless this has been pre-agreed.
How much does the Take2 exam retake cost?
Though exam vouchers can cost hundreds of dollars, there is no additional cost to you to sign up for the Take2 re-sit program. Take2 is an additional complimentary benefit offered to you by Learning Tree.

Yes, you must re-sit the exam within six months of your initial exam.
