Subsequent to the release of ITIL v3 in 2007, the ITIL Refresh has incorporated over 500 changes that have been identified and contains an updated course syllabi and examinations and also reflects feedback from the user and training community. The ITIL Refresh is aimed to achieve clarity of concepts, make the framework easier to understand,create consistency and correct errors across the core publications. New examinations covering the new material for ITIL 2011 Refresh will be released in January 2011 and new examinations released on August 8, 2011, based on ITIL refresh, would be used with the current ITIL (v3 2007).Your current ITIL certifications are not invalidated by the ITIL 2011 Refresh.Thus no bridge course is required to understand the content differences, earn a new certification,or start your ITIL initiative over again. The examination scheme remains the same and if you are halfway through your Expert program you can continue the same path you have planned.This is a refresh, not a version change. Despite nuances in how things are described,the core message of ITIL remains the same and for companies who have adopted ITIL v.3 2007 (the current ITIL on the market), it is assured that the fundamentals of the framework have not changed. In light of ITIL 2011 Refresh Our efforts will continue to deliver the high-quality and updated courseware. New content will begin entering the market in September and ITIL V3 Foundation courseware will be updated and aligned with ITIL 2011 Refresh- by the time the exams switch over on January 1, 2012.

PMI has recently informed that to validate its new structure of PMP^® exam its results would not be known to candidates just after the taking of the exam.

However,this result announcement delay for PMP^® Exam after 30 August,2011 will be removed by mid october 2011 when the PMP^® Exam result announcement system will become immediate- like as the current one. Thus this would be applicable for those planning to take the PMP^® test between 31 Aug and mid October.
