Is it possible to obtain this, ordered by country ?

2010-10-04 by "tony"

Currently the ITIL pass rates are not broken down by country. Be assured if we are able to obtain such information in the future we will be publishing them on ITILnews.

Would you please update this data from June onward? This is relevant to build a business case for funding for ITIL training. Would you also have the total number of certified ITIL V3 Experts?

Many thanks for your request to update the Candidate Numbers and Pass Rates. We managed to track down the raw data earlier this year and following considerable time collating and analysing the data we were able to provide the data you refer to. We do not expect the additional six months of raw data to available (if at all) until early next year. Once we have it we will process it as before and publish accordingly. We are sorry we cannot assist further at this time.
