What is ITIL® Awareness?

The ITIL® Awareness course provides learners with the unique opportunity to receive an introduction to the concepts of IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) and IT Service Management (ITSM). It provides an overview of the concepts within the ITIL best practices domain while also introducing the key ITIL processes. This course explains how ITIL processes are driven by a service lifecycle to provide smooth functioning to organizations, thus ensuring high-quality services to their customers.

This course has been designed for learners who need a basic awareness of ITIL as a general interest, as part of a larger program initiative as opposed to the full certification ITIL Foundation course or for those who may not be sure of their future training path and want to assess ITIL/ITSM viability in their organization.

During this course the learner will be introduced to the ITIL Service Lifecycle which is the foundation of the ITIL framework. It is a holistic view of the service that highlights the key activities that are involved in delivering value to the customer via effective management of the service.

The learner will learn about the various activities in the Service Lifecycle from the initiation phase all the way through to the final decommissioning. This journey will culminate in the learner gaining an understanding of the full cycle of service management. The course modules are designed to introduce the distinct areas of ITIL, but are not intended to be fully comprehensive.

• Be introduced to the ITIL Service Lifecycle
• Understand the foundation of the ITIL framework
