The following has been announced recently regarding the ITIL Complementary Qualifications:

The ITIL qualifications scheme recognizes certifications which link and "add value" to ITIL V3 Best Practices and the current certification portfolio.  These certifications are recognized under the ITIL Complementary Qualifications Scheme.

This scheme allows any of the licensed Examination Institutes to submit a qualification for assessment and recognition, as long as it meets the following criteria:

• addresses areas within the ITIL V3 Core or Complementary publications or other publicly available ITSM related or relevant publications (books, standards, papers etc)
• is not covered by other ITIL V3 Core qualifications or
• covers existing areas of ITIL V3 Core qualifications with a new focus

Those qualifications which are endorsed will be awarded a credit value, which recognizes the alignment to V3.
