As 2025 draws to a close, we are pleased to share a recap of a productive year — made possible by the collaboration of our amazing team, our expert trainers, our loyal clients and trustable partners.

Events across 6 Countries

In 2025, QRP International hosted a variety of events designed to support your learning journey through different formats. We covered Project Management, ITIL, Agility, and Change Management in Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, France, Italy and Switzerland. Our on-site events bring together like-minded professionals, creating a space for meaningful knowledge sharing. Participants gain access to the latest methodologies, practical tools, and the opportunity to exchange experiences and best practices. In addition, our online events extend and complement this learning journey by featuring expert speakers and providing deeper insights into specific topics.

Over 6,000 Professionals Trained

In 2025, more than 6,000 professionals attended our courses. This milestone underscores our continued commitment to supporting individuals and organisations in developing the skills needed to manage change and deliver results.

Two New Courses — AIPM and CPMAI

To respond to evolving market demands and the growing role of AI in project management, we introduced two new products: AIPM (AI‑Driven Project Manager) and CPMAI™ (Cognitive Project Management in AI). Adding these courses to our portfolio was a strategic step to ensure our participants have access to the skills and frameworks needed to manage projects and transformations in an AI-enhanced environment. With the rise of AI shaping the way organisations work, these offerings provide essential knowledge to stay ahead. We will continue to expand and support AI-focused learning in the coming year, helping professionals integrate these tools effectively into their projects and decision-making processes.

Supporting the Community: Fondazione Maria Letizia Verga

We once again recorded a tangible achievement in our commitment to social responsibility. QRP team members volunteered to wrap and sell Christmas gifts at the Christmas market for the Fondazione Maria Letizia Verga and we donated €6,000 to support their cause: supporting children fighting leukaemia. This hits home, as one of our own employees has faced a similar journey.

Internal Engagement and Our Network of Trainers

In 2025, our Employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS) reached +65, reflecting strong internal engagement and satisfaction across the company. Moreover, over 100 trainers contributed to delivering our different trainings worldwide — sharing expertise, dedication and practical experience with our participants.

Looking Ahead

The results of this year reinforce our belief that development, innovation and community impact go hand in hand. As we move into 2026, we remain committed to providing high‑quality training, expanding our offerings, and supporting growth — both for professionals and organisations. From all of us at QRP International — thank you for being part of this journey. We look forward to working with you next year. QRP International is developing professionals to facilitate changes. Merry Christmas and a successful New Year!

Many professionals already ITIL Foundation certified struggle in the selection of the next step in the ITIL Intermediate certification path. What is the next step to improve your IT service management skills? With the info and the guide below we want to explain in easy words the ITIL 4 certification path: the different options available, the credit system and the steps that will guide you to become ITIL Expert.

Why continue your training after ITIL Foundation?

In today’s fast-paced and demanding digital landscape, IT leaders and professionals must deliver high-quality services with greater speed and agility to remain competitive. In order to successfully face all these challenges, there is only one imperative: improve skills.

This is where ITIL comes in: ITIL can provide a practical and flexible basis to support organisations on their journey to the new world of digital transformation.

Continuing beyond the Foundation level allows professionals to deepen their knowledge, specialize in key areas and apply ITIL principles in ways that drive meaningful improvement and long-term value across their organisation.

What about the ITIL Intermediate Levels?

To start off it is very important to underline that all ITIL Intermediate certifications are available only to ITIL Foundation certified professionals. In other words, the ITIL Foundation certificate, version 3 or 4, is the prerequisite in order to enter any intermediate level.

You can continue your ITIL journey with three different paths:

  1. ITIL Pratice Manager (ITIL PM)
  2. ITIL Managing Professional (ITIL MP)
  3. ITIL Strategic Leader (ITIL SL)

If you achieve the Practice Manager (PM), Managing Professionals (MP) and Strategic Leader (SL) designations, you will be entitled the ITIL Master level.

1. ITIL Practices courses are intended for professionals who want to prove and validate their skills in specific practice areas or establish a good cross-practice collaboration and effective service value streams with practical assignments built into the courses.

To achieve the Practice Manager designation, you need to have completed 5 individual practices plus the ITIL Specialist: Create, Deliver and Support module (common module between ITIL MP and ITIL PM).

ITIL Practice Manager consists of fifteen practices courses, divided in three combined courses:

2. The ITIL Managing Professional Stream modules are relevant for IT practitioners working within technology and digital teams across business. The Managing Professional (MP) stream provides practical and technical knowledge about how to run successful IT-enabled services, teams and workflows. The ITIL Managing Professional Stream modules are:

3. The ITIL Strategic Leader modules recognize the value of ITIL, not just for IT operations, but for all digitally-enabled services. Becoming an ITIL SL demonstrates that you have a clear understanding of how IT influences and directs business strategy. The ITIL Strategic Leader modules are:

QRP International is dedicated to developing professionals to facilitate changes, believing that transformation drives growth and societal improvement. This commitment extends beyond professional development to actively supporting charitable initiatives that enhance our communities. That is why, we are proud to announce our support for the Comitato Maria Letizia Verga.

The Comitato Maria Letizia Verga

Founded in 1979 by Giovanni Verga, the father of Maria Letizia, the Comitato Maria Letizia Verga is an association that unites parents, volunteers, friends, supporters, researchers, doctors, and healthcare professionals in an Alliance with a shared mission: to improve the overall quality of life of children and adolescents affected by hematological malignancies diseases, as well as complex therapeutic, metabolic, and genetic conditions. For over 45 years, the Comitato has led numerous initiatives to study and treat childhood leukemia, providing care and treatment to over 2,500 children and adolescents. Thanks to its efforts, the recovery rate has significantly increased—from 30% in 1979 to 85% today.

In particular, the Comitato Maria Letizia Verga has:

  • Invested over €120 million in research, treatment, and patient care;
  • Established the Maria Letizia Verga Center, an integrated system designed to address the complex needs of children with leukemia and their families. Located within the IRCCS San Gerardo dei Tintori Foundation, it combines research, treatment, therapy, and support services;
  • Built the Maria Letizia Verga Residence, providing accommodation for children and adolescents undergoing treatment at the Center, along with their families;
  • Promoted the creation of the Tettamanti Research Center and the Monza and Brianza Foundation for Children and Mothers;
  • Established the Stefano Verri Cell and Gene Therapy Laboratory, a cell factory inaugurated in 2003 in collaboration with the Tettamanti Foundation and the Stefano Verri Committee.

Supporting the Comitato Maria Letizia Verga resonates deeply with QRP International, as many of our employees are parents who understand the critical importance of providing comprehensive support to children and their families during challenging health journeys. For one of our own employees, whose family has been directly affected by childhood leukemia, this cause is especially meaningful. Their personal experience has reinforced the significance of the work done by the Comitato Maria Letizia Verga, and QRP is proud to stand alongside them in support of this vital mission. At QRP International, we believe in the power of community and the importance of offering support during the most difficult times.

If the mission and values of the Comitato Maria Letizia Verga align with yours, we encourage you to visit their website to learn more about their initiatives, stories, and achievements: Comitato Maria Letizia Verga.

QRP International has a core purpose, which is: developing professionals to facilitate changes. We believe in change as a tool for growth and improvement, not only professionally, but also in our society. This is the reason why we strongly believe in the importance of supporting charity projects with a cause that make our society a better place. Every year we stand by this principle of contributing our part as a company. This year we chose to support Fondazione ABIO Italia ETS. Since 1978, ABIO has cared for children and teenagers in hospitals and their families. Fondazione ABIO has been managing relations with healthcare facilities and local administrations in all Italy. It is focused on promoting the culture of volunteering as well as hospital rights of children, adolescents and parents. In order to do so, Fondazione ABIO organises and coordinates activities of volunteers locally, putting into practice the principles and values on which ABIO is built: care, humanity, attention to needs, respect for rights and support. Fondazione ABIO is committed to supporting children, adolescents and their families from the moment they enter hospital, offering emotional and practical support. This includes creating welcoming environments, promoting their rights and training volunteers to ensure an effective service tailored to hospital needs. ABIO promotes projects to improve hospital environments and ensure that children's rights are respected from the very beginning of hospitalisation. Supporting Fondazione ABIO is important to QRP International, as most of its employees have children and understand how crucial it is to ensure support for children and their families during difficult times in the hospital. Making a donation to Fondazione ABIO means supporting an organisation that works with 53 local voluntary associations, present in more than 200 paediatric centres throughout Italy. Thanks to this support ABIO can guarantee the presence of around 4,000 volunteers alongside sick children, adolescents and families during their hospital journey, offering comfort, emotional support and fun moments through games and a colourful environment. Each donation contributes to making the healing journey more comfortable and humanising for young patients and their families. Do you feel that Fondazione ABIO also is in line with your values?
