A sample design: every Bodhih program is customised after a short needs analysis. ### How long is IT service management training? The recommended program is three days in person, 09:30 to 17:30, or six live virtual sessions of about three and a half hours. It covers the syllabus with time for simulations and mock questions. An awareness version of one or two days suits teams that do not need exam preparation. ### What activities are included in IT service management training? Participants map their own service on a canvas, trace a value stream with delays marked, handle a timed major incident simulation, investigate its root cause, sit on a mock change advisory board, run a service level review role-play and take a full timed mock exam. ## When to choose this ✓**Your support teams need a shared service management language**✓**You are introducing or improving an ITSM tool and processes**✓**Staff want to prepare for ITIL Foundation certification**✓**Leaders want to align IT services more closely with business outcomes** ## Frequently asked questions ### What is the difference between ITIL and ITSM? IT service management, or ITSM, is the overall discipline of planning, delivering and improving IT services. ITIL is a widely used framework of guidance for doing ITSM well. Organisations can practise ITSM without ITIL, but many use ITIL because it provides a common vocabulary and proven practices. The program covers both. ### Is ITIL 4 still valid, and what is ITIL Version 5? ITIL 4 introduced the service value system, guiding principles and practices that most organisations use today. PeopleCert has since introduced ITIL (Version 5), and ITIL 4 certifications remain recognised during the transition. Bodhih aligns the program to the version your team is preparing for and confirms current exam details before delivery. ### How long does ITIL Foundation training take? Bodhih's recommended program is three days of instructor-led training, or six shorter live virtual sessions. This covers the syllabus with time for workplace examples, discussion and mock questions. Teams that only need awareness, rather than exam preparation, can take a shorter one or two-day version customised to their processes. ### Who should take ITIL Foundation certification? ITIL Foundation suits anyone who works in or with IT services, including service desk agents, engineers, developers, team leads and managers. It is also useful for people in vendor management or business roles who deal with IT. There are no formal prerequisites, which makes it a common first certification in service management. ### Does Bodhih conduct the ITIL exam? No. Bodhih delivers the training and helps participants prepare for the ITIL Foundation exam, but the exam itself is administered through PeopleCert, the organisation responsible for ITIL certification. Participants book it through PeopleCert or an accredited provider. Bodhih can share guidance on the exam format and booking process.
