ITIL® V3 Practitioner Training Course

The ITIL® V3 Practitioner Training Course was developed in collaboration with Practitioners worldwide to help organisations and individuals increase the value they obtain from using the ITIL® framework by offering additional practical guidance.

Introduction

Following the successful launch of ITIL® 4, with the higher modules from the Managing Professional and Strategic Leader streams establishing themselves in the market - AXELOS has taken the decision to stop offering the previous version of the World’s leading certification in IT Service Management, ITIL V3, by the end of 2021.

There will be a phased approach to discontinuing the Foundation and Intermediate examinations to allow you enough time to complete your ITIL V3 Intermediate level certifications, so you can accumulate enough credits to qualify for the Transition examination.

Please Note: The confirmed timings are as follows:

ITIL V3 Foundation to be discontinued as of 01 July 2021
ITIL V3 Intermediates to be discontinued as of 01 January 2022
ITIL 4 Managing Professional Transition Examination to be discontinued as of 01 July 2022

Did you know that... Base entirely on Customer reviews, Purple Griffon has recently been awarded Leader status for ITIL training by Course Conductor. This validates the quality of the ITIL training courses we deliver on a day to day basis.

At the ITSM Leadership Congress in Singapore, AXELOS CEO, Peter Hepworth announced the most significant evolution for ITIL® since the launch of the company - the new ITIL® Practitioner qualification.

See Peter Hepworth explaining the new course...

The ITIL® Practitioner Training Course was developed in collaboration with Practitioners worldwide to help organisations and individuals increase the value they obtain from using the ITIL® framework by offering additional practical guidance to adopt and adapt the framework to support the business.

The course is designed to take you beyond the basic information communicated at the ITIL® Foundation level. This course could be seen as the next step for ITIL® professionals who wish to know more about how to adopt and adapt the ITIL® principles within their organisation, and the business value of well-designed and delivered services. We would recommend that you have gained a substantial amount of experience within the IT Service Management field prior to undertaking this course.

It is also equally applicable to those who have already taken Intermediate level training and even those who have achieved ITIL® Expert level, as it will help guide you through the practical side of successfully applying the theory in the workplace.

We have decided that it is in your best interest to run the course over 3 days for a practical learning experience, unlike other training companies who provide an intensive 2-day course. We are effectively providing an extra day training at no additional cost.

Our ITIL® Practitioner classroom course is accredited by PeopleCert.

About the Course

ITIL® Foundation is a prerequisite to take ITIL® Practitioner as it supplements, rather than substitutes the Foundation qualification. To that end the ITIL® Practitioner syllabus will require delegates to have passed their ITIL® Foundation exam and be familiar with the principles of ITSM and the organization-wide common language of ITIL®. These learnings will be put in context to answer the 'how' of successful improvement initiatives with ITIL® Practitioner, which is the next step after Foundation, not a substitution.

Who Should Attend

The qualification aims to demonstrate that IT Service Management (ITSM) professionals are equipped with the skills to apply ITIL® concepts in their organisation, ensuring maximum business value by delivering fit-for-purpose and fit-for-use services. At the same time, it's designed to give confidence to managers that the members of their team are ready to initiate and successfully carry out required improvement initiatives.
