About this course

Course overview

Understand IT service management through the ITIL 4 lens.

ITIL 4 Foundation is a two-day course for professionals who need a practical introduction to IT service management and a structured path toward ITIL 4 Foundation exam readiness. Participants learn the ITIL service value system, four dimensions of service management, guiding principles, service value chain, key practices, and continual improvement concepts.

The course helps learners connect ITIL language to real service delivery work: incidents, requests, changes, problems, service levels, suppliers, governance, risk, metrics, and improvement. Official ITIL training delivery, official materials, exam bundles, and certification language require appropriate PeopleCert authorization/licensing.
