  2. Our ITIL course is all-inclusive. A one-off fee covers all course materials, exams, accommodation and meals. No hidden extras
  3. Pass ITIL first time or train again for free. This is our guarantee. We're sure you'll pass your ITIL course first time. But if you don’t, come back within a year, and only pay for accommodation and exams. Everything else is free
  4. You’ll learn more ITIL. A day with a traditional training provider generally runs from 9am – 5pm, with a nice long break for lunch. With Firebrand Training you’ll get at least 12 hours/day quality learning time, with your instructor

  7. You'll do more than study ITIL courseware. We use labs, case studies and practice tests to make sure you can apply your new knowledge to the work environment. Our instructors use demonstrations and real-world experience to keep the day interesting and engaging.

The Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) is a customizable framework of good practices designed to promote quality computing services in the information technology (IT) sector. As an IT Service Management (ITSM) framework, ITIL provides a systematic approach to the provisioning and management of IT services, from inception through design, implementation, operation and continual improvement. The processes identified and described within ITIL are supplier and platform independent and apply to all aspects of IT infrastructure. Since the mid 1990s, ITIL has been generally considered a de facto international standard for IT Service Management.

The ITIL Managers Bridge certification is aimed at individuals who already hold the Manager's Certificate in IT Service Management at an earlier ITIL version, who wish to obtain the ITIL Expert in IT Service Management, thereby demonstrating their knowledge of ITIL V3.

This qualification will bridge the gap between the ITIL Manager’s Certificate in IT Service Management and the ITIL Expert in IT Service Management.

Detail

Service Mgt as a practice

The purpose of this unit is to enable the candidate fully understand the value of ITSM Good Practice and to be capable of defining and describing a Service and the concept of Service Management as a practice.

Service Lifecycle

The purpose of this unit is to help the candidate to fully understand the Service Lifecycle and explain the objectives and business value for each phase in the lifecycle.

Service Strategy

The purpose of Service Strategy is to help organisations think and act in a strategic manner. The achievement of strategic goals or objectives requires the use of strategic assets and the guidance shows how to transform service management into a strategic asset.

Service Design

The purpose of Service Design is to ensure that for new or changed services, to be introduced into the live environment, that the resulting service will meet the business requirements. A holistic approach is taken to design to ensure that both current and future requirements are met. Therefore Service Design is not done in isolation and impact, costs and timescales are also considered in the overall design. All functional, operational and managerial aspects are considered from the outset.

Service Transition

The purpose of Service Transition is to set customer expectations on when the service will be available, what it will contain and coordinate training of the users if required. It also enables the business change project or customer to integrate a release into their business processes and services and to reduce variations in the predicted and actual performance of the transitioned services and ensure that the service can be used in accordance with the requirements and constraints.

Service Operation

The strategic objectives are realised in the Service Operation lifecycle phase. Service Operation will deliver and manage the services ensuring robust end to end operational practices are in place. This lifecycle phase is responsible for the management of technology in order to provide responsive and stable services.

Continual Service Improvement

The purpose and goals of Continual Service Improvement (CSI) are to continually review, analyse and make recommendations on improvement opportunities in each lifecycle phase:

  • Service Strategy
  • Service Design
  • Service Transition
  • Service Operation
  • Continual Service Improvement

In addition, CSI needs to review and analyse Service Level Achievements and identify and implement individual activities to improve IT service quality and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the enabling ITSM processes.

As a result, the organisation will improve cost effectiveness of delivering IT services without sacrificing customer satisfaction and ensure applicable quality management methods are used to support continual improvement activities.
