ITIL certifications rank among highest paying in IT

August 01st 2008 Posted to Certification, ITIL, ITIL v3, ITSM, Training

According to a study by TechRepublc, the ITIL Foundations Certification is the 3rd highest paying certification in IT. The two certifications that rank higher (PMP and CAPM) are Project Management based and thus not necessarily specific to IT, making the ITIL cert the highest paying “pure IT” cert on the list.

Curiously, the “ITIL Master” certification makes the list at #7. I can only assume they are referring to the brand new “ITIL Expert” cert, or the soon to be retired ITIL Service Manager . Service Manager seems more likely, given the freshly minted nature of the v3 ITIL Expert. Any thoughts as to why the survey results show advanced ITIL certification further down the list than ITIL Foundations?

The complete list:

  1. PMP (approx. $101k)
  2. CAPM
  3. ITIL Foundation
  4. CISSP
  5. CCIE
  6. CCVP
  7. ITIL Master
  8. MSCD
  9. CCNP
  10. Red Hat Certified Engineer
  11. MCITP (Enterprise)
  12. CCSP
  13. MCAD
  14. MCITP (Database)
  15. MCDBA (approx. $76K)
