This ITIL 4 Foundation certification class is the first course in the ITIL 4 certification scheme and is a prerequisite for all other ITIL 4 courses. This course provides the fundamentals to embed ITIL into your day-to-day work practices.

Services are the main way that organizations create value for themselves and their customers. Almost all services today are IT-enabled, which means there is tremendous benefit for organizations in creating, expanding and improving their IT service management (ITSM) capability.

ITIL 4 provides organizations with a comprehensive framework for ITSM. ITIL 4 brings ITIL 4 up to date by re-shaping much of the established ITSM practices in the wider context of customer experience, value streams, and digital transformation, as well as embracing new ways of working, such as Lean, Agile, and DevOps.  

This 16-hour certification course introduces learners to the management of modern IT-enabled services, provides them with an understanding of the common language and key concepts, and shows them how they can improve their work and the work of their organization with ITIL 4 guidance.

The whole experience is recommendable, fast customer service, worked along with my company, and follow up on every step to make sure I could be there and take the ITIL V4 course and exam. Thank you!

    Recommend for anyone whose career is in anyway connected to service management

    Posted by Jonathan K, Data and Information Architect on Mar 1st 2020

    Despite being with my organization for over a year, I was finding that I still couldn’t easily articulate what my organization did or why it did it. After participating in the ITIL foundation class, I found the tools for understanding how the activities that my organization undertakes participate in the co-creation of value. I now had a vision for fully leveraging incident management, as well as which platform initiatives we should pursue. I’m so grateful that I was able to take this class: The instructor was experienced and thoughtful, and the material was transformative. I would recommend this for anyone whose career is in anyway connected to service management.

    Better than book smarts, outstanding customer service

    Posted by Jim Federline on Apr 30th 2019

    ITSM Academy was a great choice to get ITIL 4 training from. I learned useful new concepts and passed my exam with flying colors, but that isn't where the value ended. The instructor was also well-spoken in devops concepts and related them to specific course content. I was also able to use my class participation as continuing education units for a related credential, thanks to their customer-focus. These folks don't just teach the content, they live the principles.
