CLASS: ITIL Certification
“Great business performance requires great IT performance!”
The IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) is a collection of acknowledged industry best practices for information technology (IT) management. Unlike courses that teach specific technology skills like networking, server administration and cloud computing, the ITIL Foundation course teaches IT professionals to look beyond the individual technologies to understand, from an integrated perspective, how IT enables business performance. ITIL lays out the definitive processes for IT service management excellence resulting in a continual cycle of business cost and performance improvements.
ITIL consists of five integrated lifecycle stages, composed of 26 processes for aligning IT investments and activities with business mission, goals and operations.

ITIL Background
Prior to the development of the ITIL process library there was no documented consensus describing the processes for managing a business’s IT environment and service delivery for its internal staff and external customers. ITIL is a set of integrated processes sub divided into five lifecycle stages that are acknowledged globally by the IT industry as the de facto standards for managing an IT environment.
Similar to other International Standards Organization (ISO) quality management systems, the ITIL process framework serves as the foundation for ISO 20000 IT Service Management certification program.
Course Goal
Prepare the student to sit for and pass the ITIL Foundation certification examination.
This will be accomplished by introducing the 5-stages of the ITIL Service Management lifecycle, reinforced through discussion with real life examples. Each of the 26 processes will be presented in detail: their purpose, activities, relationships with other processes, their inputs and outputs, process performance measures and how they align the IT organization and infrastructure with the business mission, goals and operations.
