Insights from Key Players
PeopleCert's insight


"We’ve tracked the students that went through ITIL training and certification at TAMU since 2021 and – anecdotally – they’ve had better outcomes than those who didn’t take the ITIL path: gaining employment faster and internships more easily. 

And this approach helps companies which, when recruiting, must plan continuing education such as ITIL for new entrants. Instead, we can save them time and money and deliver more valuable employees from day one."

An academic partner's insight


"ITIL 4 is one of the most in-demand certifications in Costa Rica and we considered it important to add to the curriculum as part of our students’ professional DNA and to help them into management roles. In today’s labour market, everyone is competing for the same jobs so having a point of difference is essential to gaining employment. We believe that offering ITIL 4 certification offers our students that point of difference."

"It’s important to learn new methods and get a deeper understand of those I’m already using.
The experience of being a student at Julio Garavito again was amazing. And when someone graduates from this university, the market recognises that what we’ve learned is current and relevant to what’s happening in the real world."
