Course Description
ITIL® Managing Across the Lifecycle - Accredited
While implementing individual processes may net some immediate gain, it is the integration of all of the service lifecycle stages that delivers true value. Based on all five publications of the ITIL core library, ITSM Academy’s class focuses on the planning, implementation and optimization of a cohesive, well-managed and sustainable Service Management program. Topics include business, management and supervisory objectives, purpose, processes, functions and activities, and on the interfaces and interactions between the processes covered in the Service Lifecycle. Course culminates with the ITIL Managing Across the Lifecycle certification examination. Successful candidates will receive the designation of ITIL Expert.
Embedded into the five (5) day Managing Across the Lifecycle (MALC) course is our unique virtualization, Living the Lifecycle®. Woven through all ITSM Academy's ITIL Certification classes, this virtualization brings concepts and processes to life. Within a virtual business environment, as a group, we introduce a service and then follow it from strategic decision through implementation.
This virtualization successfully enables active learning by encouraging the participants to:
- Discuss and understand pure ITIL concepts
- Apply concepts to a “neutral” real world situation
- Learn different perspectives
- Reinforce examinable concepts
