Release, Control and Validation Qualification
The Release, Control and Validation module is one of the ITIL Service Capability modules, and will be of interest to candidates wishing to gain a deep level of understanding of V3 processes and roles, how they are implemented and how they interact.
Is it right for me?
As with any of the Intermediate modules, there is no mandatory requirement but two to four years professional experience working in IT Service Management is highly desirable.
The Release, Control and Validation qualification would suit candidates in the following IT professions and areas:
- Release Manager
- Security Administrator
- IT Operations Manager
- Database Administrator
- Security Manager
We have provided this list as a guide only, and choices will depend on the candidate's individual career goals and objectives.
Why should I take it?
The modular structure of the Intermediate level allows you to develop an ITIL specialism. The Release, Control and Validation module will help you to gain the technical level of knowledge and skills required for detailed execution and implementation of specific ITIL processes.
Service Lifecycle modules which would enhance your knowledge gained from this module are:
Service Transition (ST)
Service Operation (SO)
You may also choose to use the qualification and credits and supplement them with additional modules to achieve ITIL Expert Level.
Credits obtained from the Release, Control and Validation (RCV) qualification may not be combined with the credits obtained from the V2 IPRC or CCR qualifications towards an ITIL Expert Level application due to the high level of content overlap.
