I am currently putting together a business case for me to pursue the ITIL Master qualification. If I can put a strong enough case together my employer will pay for me to go through certification, if not, then I will have to pay for it myself.
Does anybody have any experience of putting together a business case for this? The personal and business benefits will probably be pretty similar for all companies and staff (although I appreciate that the personal benefits will vary more), so anything that anybody is will to share will be of great help, particularly if it results in saving me over £2,500!
Many thanks in advance,
Business Case for ITIL Master

Hi all
I looked at building a business case for ITIL Master myself and I couldn't do it. I've not seen any demand from recruiters or within the industry so for me I couldn't justify it for my role.
The cost of getting ITIL Master isn't enormous, it's more the time that needs to be dedicated to getting it.
If you want to build a business case I would suggest looking at what you think it will add to your role (how will it help you/your company perform better) and trying to attach some numbers to that.
As it's a validation of an individual's knowledge and experience from an employer's perspective I guess it could look pretty risky, I view it as having more value for independent consultants.
Good luck! Claire
