Summary
ITIL® has been the de-facto global standard for IT Service Management (ITSM) for more than three decades, and here’s why…
1) ITIL® leads to better alignment of IT with the broader business organization,
2) ITIL® enables faster service delivery and better problem solving,
3) ITIL® helps capture a higher return-on-investment from IT expenditures, and
4) ITIL® helps foster a sustainable organizational culture of continual improvement.
In 2019, a completely new ITIL® 4 education and certification framework was introduced. The framework is divided into two certification paths: ITIL® Managing Professional and ITIL® Strategic Leader. Seven Wonders Learning offers training in both ITIL® areas, including customized training and certification tailored specifically to your organization’s needs.

Course Overview
The course is designed as an introduction to ITIL® 4 and enables you to understand a new way to look at IT Service Management through a Service Value System (SVS). What’s the difference between ITIL® v3 and ITIL® 4? In a nutshell, ITIL® v3 describes Service Management around 26 processes and functions that are part of a continuous process of 5 life cycles: Service Strategy, Service Design, Service Transition, Service Operation and Continual Service Improvement. All of the v3 body of knowledge is still very worthwhile and relevant! ITIL® 4 takes you through a more evolved view of a Service Value System (SVS), which provides a holistic end-to-end picture of what it really means to contribute to business value, and also integrates concepts from models such as Lean IT, Agile and DevOps. At the end of this 3 day course, attendees will have an understanding of the following:
- High level overview of ITIL® v3’s 5-step Lifecycle model and how the current 26 processes and functions map to the new ITIL® 4 model
- The seven Guiding Principles of ITIL® 4
- The new ITIL® Service Value Chain
- The four dimensions of Service Management
- The 34 ITIL® practices, with a focus on 18 of these
- Key concepts from Lean IT, Agile, DevOps, and Organizational Change Management, and why these are important to deliver business value
This is an instructor-led classroom course that provides a comprehensive introduction to the concepts, terms, objectives and benefits of the ITIL® best practices framework. The course provides a combination of short lectures, practical group exercises, quizzes, a sample exam, and test taking tips to prepare the student to understand and apply ITIL® principles, and to pass the 40 question 4 Foundation certification examination. The examination is scheduled for the last day of the course.
