PeopleCert / Axelos Certifications
Informational only — not financial or career advice. Exam fees and certification requirements change, and the figures here are accurate only as of the listed verification date. Confirm the current fee and rules directly with the certifying body before you register or budget. We report the official-body exam fee for a single attempt; it excludes prep courses, materials and retakes, and is not the total cost of certifying.
PeopleCert, operating under the Axelos brand, issues globally recognized certifications in IT service management and related disciplines. This overview covers one certification: ITIL 4 Foundation. Each certification carries an official exam fee set by the issuing body, published prerequisites for eligibility, and a defined validity period with specified renewal or recertification requirements.
The exam fees presented here reflect the base, single-attempt official charge as verified in June 2026 and are subject to change at any time. These figures exclude third-party training costs, study materials, and retake fees. Candidates should confirm the current exam fee, prerequisites, and validity cycle directly on PeopleCert's or Axelos's official website before registering for any certification, as only the issuing body maintains authoritative information on requirements and pricing.
