The ITIL Intermediate level has a modular structure with each module holding a different focus. ITIL Intermediate candidates can take as few or as many ITIL Intermediate certifications as they require to suit their ITIL intermediate exams and certification needs.

For a broad management focus of ITIL practice areas, the Service Lifecycle modules will be of interest to you:

• Service Strategy
• Service Design
  
• Service Transition
  
• Service Operation
  
• Continual Service Improvement
  

For a more intense, specialized, process-level knowledge in one or more processes, with focus on the day-to-day execution of ITIL practices, the Service Capability modules will be of interest to you:

• Service Offerings and Agreements
• Release, Control and Validation
  
• Operational Support and Analysis
  
• Planning, Protection and Optimization
  

Some individuals may wish to concentrate on one stream of modules, however candidates may also choose to select modules from both Service Lifecycle and Service Capability streams to gain a holistic view of an entire stage from both a high level management level and the detailed, technical perspective.
