The most common approach:
If you are lucky enough to get sponsorship from your current employer, there are multiple ITIL training providers that offers all-inclusive training packages in a formal classrooms.
In some cases these training packages includes the certification exam to be taken on the 4th day; which in my opinion is a really great because you will have all the information still fresh in your mind.
Online IT training (videos)
I have no question about how great these online trainings from Pluralsight and CBT nuggets are and how much they can help you to understand better all the concepts and scenarios described on the books.

This ITIL study guide tries to re-organize the ITIL 4 Foundation Exam Syllabus in an structured way to help self-study readers to reach ITIL Foundation Certification success. The ITIL Foundation Exam Syllabus itself just describes the knowledge and terms required for the students to learn and understand in order to pass the exam, however, . This ITIL book fills the gap by providing the linkage between the discrete pieces of knowledge to a cohesive one.

Oh, yes, the ITIL 4 study guide will only be available by October 2019. I relied on the previous version for the ITIL v3 Foundation 2011 certification and therefore would recommend this new edition by the same author. In the meanwhile, you may take a look at other ITIL 4 exam prep books here:
I bought the Greycampus ITIL Foundation course so wanted to know if the downloadable pdf course material is enough to be prepared for the ITIL foundation exam? I am not really good at learning through powerpoint videos so I do better with it printed out. Is that printed material and the mock exams enough?
Yes, you can print out the downloadable course materials to study for the ITIL Foundation Exam. I would say that studying this material alone will probably gain you a pass in the exam. If you would like to play safe, you are recommended to also take a look at my study notes on this website and/or the recommended ITIL study guide.

Hi Edward,
I am impressed with all your responses and willingness to help others, you are a great guy. I will like you to enlighten me on the following;
I want to create a career path in project management and also write the ITIL V3 foundation exam. I live in the USA, i will like to know if i should go for PMP or Prince2 exam to be able to have a great career in project management. More so, i want a career that will go along with my current job as an electronic medical record officer. I want to do self studying for the ITIL and either of PMP or prince2, wiill i be able to register for the exam by self studying and what are the requirements for PMP certification, i know Prince2 doesnt require a university degree but i am not sure of PMP. i will appreciate your quick response.
If you are in the United States, I would highly suggest you to go the PMP route as PMP is much more practised and recognized there. I have created a step by step guide on PMP certification to help you from understanding your eligibility all the way to preparing and passing the exam. You may read it here:

Please Mr Edwin Chung, can one use your study notes to prepare for the exams without reading an accredited ITIL V3 Foundation book ?
Thanks for this blog, im very happy todiscover it.

Just my two cents: I thought the ITIL Foundation Exam is not too difficult, if you have already done the online training, that would be quite sufficient indeed. But I always played safe, so I also brought the ITIL Foundation Study Guide to reinforce my study to be 100% certain of passing the exam in first try. If you are not too tight on budget, I highly recommend you to purchase this study guide too.
You may register for the ITIL Foundation exam online through PeopleCert directly if you did not purchase an ITIL exam prep course which includes the exam voucher (e.g. -designer.com/web/affordable-itil-foundation-online-course-with-official-exam/).
I plan on taking the ITIL Foundation Self Study course as suggested.. Are you recommending that this book be purchased to compliment the course? Or is this book not needed since I am talking the self study course?
ITIL v3 was launched in 2007 and revised in 2011 ( minor changes I guess) after this it is just called ITIL or ITIL 2011. There is a further revision in 2013. Also now it is managed by AXELOS, as the UK government contracts the maintenance of the ITIL framework to third party companies.
For all those seeking to answer the exam, I suggest the book recommended here, just this is enough, if you prefer videos, ITProTV is very good. But for answering the exams, you will need the book as it depends on definitions which are not covered in the videos. Exam is pretty easy, but understanding ITIL is so critical for workplace success.
I prepared for the ITIL exam based on your notes and your book suggestion. I studied approximately for 1 month after/before work and on weekends.
I achieved 95% and would like to thank you for your really useful site.
