ITIL 4 Foundation certification is generally considered manageable, especially for those with some IT or service management experience. The exam tests your understanding of core ITIL concepts, practices, and terminology. With focused study, practice exams, and the right training, most candidates can pass on their first attempt.
The time needed to study for the ITIL 4 Foundation exam varies, but most candidates can prepare in 2 to 4 weeks with consistent study. This includes going through the study materials, taking practice exams, and attending a training course if needed.
Yes, you can take the ITIL 4 Foundation exam without taking a course, but enrolling in a training class is highly recommended.

ITIL focuses on best practices for IT service management, aiming for stability and consistency in service delivery. Agile, on the other hand, is a methodology that emphasizes flexibility, collaboration, and rapid iteration in software development.
