PeopleCert, a global leader in the examination and certification industry, was selected by the Service Desk Institute (SDI), the worldwide organisation for setting best practice service desk standards in the IT service and support industry, as the exclusive group to deliver the institute’s Service Desk Manager (SDM) and Service Desk Analyst (SDA) qualifications from June 1, 2019.
SDI’s internationally recognised standards for service desk and IT support professionals set out clear definitions for the key service desk roles and form the basis of these two exceptional qualifications. The SDA qualification is designed to provide service desk and support analysts with the skills to work consistently within industry recognised standards and in-line with the best practices guidelines; while the SDM qualification recognises an individual’s knowledge of the competency requirements and skills required to be a manager of a service desk.
“Service Desk qualifications are becoming even more in demand for IT support professionals to get ahead in our ever-changing workforce of today,” noted Dimitris Nicolaides, PeopleCert International Business Development Director & Deputy CCO. “We are thrilled to be partnering with SDI in providing valuable certifications with the highest level of quality and experience.”
SDI qualifications give assurance to employers that the learners aspire to be truly proficient in the vital roles they play within the service desk. These qualifications demonstrate that candidates are knowledgeable about service desk global best practice and have developed their knowledge in order to deliver excellent levels of service to end-users and, for managers, excellent leadership of the service desk.
PeopleCert will manage the entire certification process, from accrediting training organisations in SDI qualifications, to managing candidate exam registration, delivering exams, certificates and more. The examinations will be delivered through PeopleCert’s systems, both in classroom environment and through PeopleCert’s award-winning online proctoring solution, enabling candidates to complete them whenever they want, from any place they choose, with a live proctor guiding them through the entire process, while verifying the exam results.

Together, PeopleCert and SDI will collaborate to ensure the examinations and training materials continue to be industry-leading across the globe” mentioned Tessa Troubridge, SDI CEO. “Passionate about inspiring service desks to be brilliant, we believe that learning and development is fundamental in achieving continual service improvement.
