ITIL® 4 Foundation

ITIL® 4 Foundation

Description of the course:

The ITIL 4 Foundation certification is designed as an introduction to ITIL 4 and enables candidates to look at IT service management through an end-to-end operating model for the creation, delivery and continual improvement of tech-enabled products and services. The certification can help:

  • Those who require a basic understanding of the ITIL framework
  • Those who want to understand how ITIL can be used to enhance IT service management
  • IT professionals or others working within an organization that has adopted ITIL.

However, the ITIL Foundation certification can benefit anyone who has an interest in IT service management. ITIL 4 Foundation introduces delegates to the Service Value System (SVS) which describes how all the components and activities of the organization work together as a system to enable value creation. The ITIL SVS supports many work approaches, such as Agile, DevOps and Lean as well as traditional process and project management, with a flexible value-oriented operating model. ITIL 4 Foundation candidates will have an understanding of the following:

  • A holistic approach to the facilitation of co-creation of value with customers and other stakeholders in the form of products and services
  • The guiding principles of ITIL 4
  • The four dimensions of Service Management
  • Key concepts from Lean, Agile, DevOps, and why these are important to deliver business value
  • How ITIL practices described in ITIL 4 will maintain the value and importance provided by the current ITIL processes, whilst at the same time expand to be integrated to different areas of service management and IT, from demand to value.

The training covers the full syllabus of the Foundation module and prepares all the participants to take the ITIL Foundation exam. Furthermore, the certification provides the candidate with an understanding of the ITIL 4 service management framework and will explain to them how it has evolved to adopt modern technologies and ways of working.
