ITIL® combined Service Transition and Service Operation course

Background

The ITIL® Intermediate Certificates in Service Transition and Service Operation form part of the Lifecycle series of modules, which can be taken as stand-alone qualifications or with a view to amassing sufficient credits to gain the ITIL® Service Management Expert qualification. In order to maximise the use of your valuable time, we have combined two of the ITIL® Intermediate modules into one intensive combined course that will give candidates a deep level of understanding of the management and control of Service Transition and Service Operation and the interfaces between them and the other stages of the Service Lifecycle. 


This course is intended to enable delegates with a Foundation-level knowledge of IT Service Management to apply good practice in processes pertaining to the Service Transition and Service Operation lifecycle phases. The course is intensive and interactive, combining presentation sessions and group exercises, with plenty of opportunity for questions and discussion. On completion of the course and the required personal study, delegates will be able to sit the ITIL® Intermediate examinations in Service Transition and Service Operation, both worth 3 credits.
