ITIL-HVIT
High-Velocity IT (HVIT) is one of the ITIL 4 Managing Professional modules from AXELOS, delivered by PeopleCert — it certifies how you apply ITIL alongside Agile, DevOps, Lean, and automation to ship digital products at pace. It's a closed-book, scenario-driven exam with a hard 70% pass bar, and a single fail means re-booking, re-paying, and another wait before you can complete the Managing Professional designation. This page breaks down exactly what the exam tests, how it's delivered, and how to get it done right the first time.
Pay Only After You Pass
No upfront fee — you settle only after your verified passing result. We advertise guaranteed results — 100% pass guaranteed or money back.
How the ITIL 4 High-Velocity IT exam is built — at a glance
40
A single objective-test paper of 40 questions. Many are scenario-based, asking you to apply ITIL 4 in a digital, high-velocity context rather than recall a definition.
28
The pass mark is 70%, so you must answer at least 28 of 40 correctly. The result is reported as pass or fail with your percentage — there is no graded numeric score.
90
90 minutes with no reference material allowed. Candidates sitting in a non-native language may qualify for extended time, typically 113 minutes.
HVIT is one of the ITIL 4 Specialist / Strategist modules that, alongside Create Deliver & Support, Drive Stakeholder Value, and Direct Plan & Improve, lead to the ITIL 4 Managing Professional (MP) designation. It is the module that explicitly bridges ITIL with Agile, DevOps, and Lean ways of working.
Questions are not adaptive — every candidate sees a fixed-length paper, and unanswered questions are marked wrong, so there is no penalty for guessing. The challenge is interpreting layered scenarios under time pressure and choosing the most ITIL-aligned action, not memorising terms.
The themes the HVIT syllabus weaves through its digital-delivery scenarios
Applying Agile delivery, iterative product management, and high-velocity culture to ITIL's service value system in fast-moving digital organisations.
Using DevOps practices, fast feedback loops, and resilient engineering to keep digital products available and recoverable at speed.
Reducing waste, optimising flow, and embedding continual improvement so value is delivered faster without sacrificing quality.
Applying automation, the right technologies, and service-performance metrics to scale a customer-centric, high-velocity operating model.
AXELOS does not publish fixed per-topic weightings for HVIT, so weight bars are intentionally omitted here. Instead the syllabus is organised around digital-transformation objectives — the "three ways" of high-velocity IT and a set of key behaviour patterns — and the questions cut across all four themes within a single business scenario.
How PeopleCert delivers HVIT — and what to expect on exam day
The standard route is the PeopleCert web-based exam with live online proctoring. You schedule a slot, install the PeopleCert exam app, and on the day complete a system check, ID verification, and a 360° webcam scan of your room before the closed-book paper unlocks. A live proctor monitors you throughout.
Because HVIT requires accredited training, many candidates book the exam bundled with a course from an Accredited Training Organization (ATO). The ATO may offer a classroom or invigilated sitting in addition to the online option, but the exam itself is always issued and graded by PeopleCert.
A valid, unexpired government photo ID whose name matches your PeopleCert profile. The proctor captures a photo before the exam unlocks.
A clear desk, no notes or second screen, no phone within reach, and a webcam scan of the room. Closed book means no reference material is permitted.
Stay in frame and on-camera the whole 90 minutes. Talking aloud, leaving your seat, or losing connection can pause or flag the session.
HVIT is built for IT pros working in fast-moving digital teams
Eligibility is gated — and the pass bar is unforgiving
Difficulty: HVIT is widely regarded as one of the harder ITIL 4 Specialist modules. The 70% bar leaves room for only 12 wrong answers, the scenarios deliberately blur the line between ITIL, Agile, and DevOps thinking, and there's no open book to fall back on. That combination is exactly the pressure point our help is designed to remove.
