Is the ITIL 5 Foundation exam available in French?

Yes. PeopleCert offers the ITIL Foundation (Version 5) exam in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Polish, Chinese and Japanese.

Should you sit it in French?

The exam mostly tests precise definitions: 40 questions in 60 minutes, 90 seconds each, against a 65% pass mark. Sit it in the language in which you read a definition most reliably.

If you work with ITIL’s English terminology every day, English may remain the safer choice. If you learned ITIL in French, the French version saves a mental translation on every question.

Practice questions are in English for now

Kwestio’s questions are in English; on the French site the explanations, lessons and interface are in French. If you sit the exam in French, learn the French term alongside each English one: the French exam uses the official translated terminology, not a free translation.
