Course Overview:
ITIL® is the most widely adopted framework for managing technology-based services and creating value for stakeholders and has evolved beyond IT service management into a best-practice framework for digital product and service management.
The ITIL® (version 5) Foundation training course is the very latest best-practice guidance. It gives a broad understanding of the latest concepts and terminology used in Service Management worldwide, including AI and digital products and services.
Target Audience:
The target group for the ITIL® V5 Foundation Certificate in IT Service Management is:
- Individuals at the start of their journey in Service Management.
- Service Management Practitioners and Managers
- Existing ITIL qualification holders wishing to update their knowledge.
Course Objectives:
The purpose of the Foundation course and qualification is to introduce students to the essential concepts of ITIL® 5 and prepare them to take the ITIL® (version 5) Foundation Certificate in IT Service Management. The course will give students an understanding of the common language and key concepts of ITIL® 5. Furthermore, the qualification will enable students to progress onto more specialised ITIL® 5 courses and qualifications.
The course provides an overview of the ITIL® framework, including its guiding principles, core models, and fundamental concepts, and explains how these elements can be used to create, deliver, and continually improve products and services. ITIL® Foundation (Version 5) enables candidates to understand how value is co-created through the effective management of products and services, and how organisations apply ITIL® guidance to improve performance, collaboration, and outcomes.
The ITIL® (Version 5) Foundation certificate is a prerequisite for the ITIL® (Version 5) higher level qualifications, which assess the candidate’s ability to apply their understanding of the relevant parts of the ITIL® Framework in context.
