ITIL Exam - Did it happen this way?

While going through an Analysis report of the ITIL Dumps website statistics; I found something really interesting. Some users had accessed this site not just through the usual Operating Systems like Windows XP; Linux or Mac OSX but also through Symbian OS and iPhone.

Now, I understand that Symbian OS is for mobile devices/ PDAs, but thats not my concern. Who would have been in a tearing hurry to check the dump through a PDA (probably on the move?) when it would be so much easier to view it on a PC.

So I am going to give my two cents about what happened:
I wonder if he was giving the Exam?!!! If so, then whoever it was, it was a very risky thing to do. Copying or cheating will only give you a temporary advantage. Anyways, even if you do 'pass' the ITIL Exam, you still should be able to understand the concepts behind ITIL and Best Practices enough to be able to answer questions perfectly in an Interview.

Ofcourse, there may have been other valid reasons for using a PDA to check the website, but this is what naturally occurred to me.
Do you also think the same? Please comment and let me know.

Information Technology Online College

Information Technology Online College - degree is an academic degree (usually a college degree, but sometimes the term includes high school diplomas and non-degree certificate programs) that can be earned primarily or entirely through the use of an Internet-connected computer, rather than attending college in a traditional campus setting. Improvements in technology, the increasing use of the Internet worldwide, and the need for people to have flexible school schedules while they are working have led to a proliferation of online colleges that award associate, bachelor's, master's, and doctoral online college degrees.

Accredited Online Colleges The goal of educational accreditation, according to the United States Department of Education, is to ensure that programs provided by institutions of higher education meet acceptable levels of quality. ENQA, the European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education, describes the role of external quality assurance in education as one that "combines both accountability for the reassurance of the public and an objective and developmental role for enhancing quality in institutions".In the area of online education, it is important to avoid unaccredited diploma mills that offer fake degrees, as these are unfortunately common. Students seeking valid online degrees should obtain proof of accreditation from an appropriate national or regional accrediting body. In the United States, online colleges that are fully accredited have earned a widely recognized form of university accreditation from one of six regional accreditation boards. Each of six geographic regions of the United States has one of these boards, a non-governmental agency that oversees and accredits degree-granting institutions headquartered in their areas.

The U.S. Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) recognize the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC) as the accrediting organization for distance learning institutions and education programs that offer online degrees. However, DETC accreditation is commonly (though not universally) viewed as inferior to regional accreditation, and regionally accredited schools may refuse to accept transfer credit from DETC-accredited schools more often than they would refuse credit from other regionally-accredited schools. Online education enables individuals living with physical disabilities, busy full-time employees, soldiers, those living abroad, and stay-at-home parents, among others to have access to accredited higher education.

Why ITIL is still the heartbeat of IT services

Its perspective at the sharp end of ITIL projects means APM Group is well placed to see the benefits of implementing ITIL. Jessica Barry, APMG’s accreditor co-ordinator, explains why ITIL is still an extremely useful business tool and Version 3 is exactly what the industry needs to continue improving.

The issues surrounding ITIL and service management generate some heated debates.  On this website alone there are lots of examples of people who are pro-ITIL and evangelise on its benefits, but there are just as many who think it is removed from the working realities faced by service providers.

The APM Group has the role of accreditor for the ITIL scheme.  We accredit the examination institutes who work with training companies who in turn help end users adopt and embed ITIL.  We also manage the examination scheme, so we are well placed to understand the debate about ITIL, and answer some of the more burning questions that people are discussing.

Our view, naturally, is that ITIL is an extremely useful method, especially with the added dimensions offered by Version 3.  Our latest figures show that about 500,000 V3 certificates have been issued to candidates and every month there are more candidates taking the qualifications than the previous month.  The international appeal of ITIL V3 is also extending, and we have translated papers into 20 languages.  Translations are triggered when there is demand – usually measured by a significant number of Foundation examinations in a particular country.  itSMF’s international chapters push for translations when they’ve got candidates asking for them – this in itself is a testament to ITIL’s value
