ITIL v3 Master does not exist. I guess you mean IT Service Manager, or ITIL v3 Expert.

It also seems odd that the Foundation cert (which every IT Service Manager or ITIL Expert holds, since it’s a prerequisite), is better positioned.

I really distrust the methodology used here, it seems to be inconsistent. And it had the same error for the 2009 list.

This is good info, but it’s a few years old now. It’s curious that the “ITIL v3 Master” cert makes the list, since that certification doesn’t yet exist (there is a pilot program for it that started on January 1, and 15 of us are going through the certification process to work out the kinks prior to public release).

In any case, the ITIL v2 Service Manager cert came out on top of the TechRepublic survey for 2009 at $103.9k, which would makes sense based on my own observations. CCDP was #2, ITIL Practitioner was #3 CISSP #4, and the PMP was #5.

All of the top 5 were very close ($103.1k – $103.9k), with a bit of a drop to #6, the at $98.9k.
