ITIL® Practitioner Duration3 Days
Course Overview
The 3 Day ITILP3 course is ideal for most Service Managers and includes a focus on the practical application of the principles and concepts – as well as gives reasonable time for assignments and exercises to aid understanding.
This focused course is not designed to be a simple stepping stone from Foundation to the Intermediates. Its aim is to go well beyond the ‘what and the why’, providing advanced learning for SM professionals, so that they can be more effective in their roles. To achieve this goal, the course has been designed to provide delegates with learning and insights on how individuals can actually implement and improve service management practices within an organisation, based upon the AXELOS ITIL Practitioner guidance and associated toolkit. It requires delegates to consider various aspects of improvement approaches, and expects them to have completed the pre-course reading before attending.
As this is an intensive course, there will be homework assignments each evening to consolidate the learning.
*Please note that since this course is additive to the existing Intermediate ITIL courses, this course can be taken irrespective of whether a delegate has taken or intends to take further ITIL Intermediate courses.
Prerequisites
Possession of one of the following:
- ITIL v3 or 2011 Foundation
- ITIL v2 Foundation and v2/v3 Foundation Bridge.
You will receive physical pre-course reading prior to attending the course. The pre-course materials consist of a printed booklet and the official ITIL Practitioner Guidance publication from AXELOS.
The completing of the pre-course work is MANDATORY and ESSENTIAL to successful course attendance.
The pre-course reading covers 2 main elements.
1 - A pre-course reading booklet that directs delegates to read and review specific sections from the provided ITIL Practitioner Guidance publication. Delegates are required to have studied and reviewed these sections of the ITIL Practitioner Guidance book as a MANDATORY part of pre-course learning, prior to attending the course. (Time to review these sections = approx. 7 hours)
2 - A subset of 10 questions are also provided in the same pre-course booklet selected from an ITIL Practitioner sample exam and are designed to give delegates an initial understanding of the style of the exam and the exam technique required. Delegates will need to have attempted these questions whilst referring to the exam scenario (also provided in the pre-course reading booklet) prior to attending the course. Also provided in the pre-course reading are the answers and rationale to these sample questions. (Time to attempt and review the questions = approx. 1 hour)
Please do remember to bring your ITIL Practitioner Guidance book with you to your course, since it is crucial to the course and exam success, and additional copies of the manual will NOT be available.
During the classroom element of the course the same scenario booklet will then be used to base exercises around, to bring the ITIL Practitioner content into focus. The same scenario will then also be used during the actual end of course exam, so it is essential that delegates will need to have familiarised themselves with the content of the scenario.
