ITIL
Course
There are many
ITIL Course available (both online and offline), but majority of
them falls in three categories i.e. Foundation’s, Practitioner’s and
Manager’s ITIL Courses. Amongst online and offline courses, online
ITIL Course are more popular due to obvious reasons.
Online ITIL
Course “Foundations” – Relatively new course programs that are
designed to give the participant the flexibility that an attendance
type course cannot. Let’s see what to expect from Online Foundations
ITIL course. Online ITIL Course should be conducted in a virtual
classroom, accessible through the Web. This removes the need to
schedule time off for critical members of your organization for
training. This allows far more flexibility as this type of course
allows people to study at a time and place that are convenient to
them.
Now the next
issue is who should participate in this Online ITIL Course
“Foundations”? Frankly speaking, anyone who deals with any delivery
of IT Services, from Senior Managers to Help Desk personnel. The
ITIL Course should explain in detail the 10 core processes and the
Service Desk function of the ITIL framework, 5 Service Support
(Incident Management, Problem Management, Change Management, Release
Management and Configuration Management) and 5 Service Delivery
processes (Service Level Management, IT Financial Management,
Capacity Management, Availability Management, IT Service Continuity
Management).
One point that
concerns all of us is the number of organizations offering these
courses that have not included Security Management. These courses
must also cover Security Management as this is a requirement of the
accreditation agencies! ITIL Course should explain the concept
behind the framework, relationships between processes and teach
students how to communicate using a common language that ultimately
leads to a more efficient, cohesive environment. This can be done
through a number of individual methods such as streaming broadcast
or interactive modules.
