At Training Bytesize Australia, we have always been a leader in online courses. So, wherever you are in the world, you can tap into our expert portfolio of online courses and become certified from the comfort of your own home. One area in particular that is growing in popularity is our end-to-end IT Service Management course: the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trainingbytesize.com\/nz\/product-category\/itil-4\/\">ITIL 4 Foundation Course Online<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>What is ITIL 4?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axelos.com\/best-practice-solutions\/itil\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ITIL<\/a> (Information Technology Infrastructure Library)\u00a04 is a leading, recognised IT service management framework which allows all candidates to gain knowledge in how to continually create, deliver and improve upon tech-enabled products and services in their organisation. ITIL itself is built on a five-tiered process, with ITIL 4 being the fourth step in that process.<\/p>\n<p>From its invention as far back as the 1980s, the ITIL framework has consistently evolved and implemented its proven IT service management guidance for an array of different business sectors, that are using new technology to deliver their product.<\/p>\n<p>Now more than ever, organisational success is measured by the company\u2019s ability to be efficient when rolling out new products to market. An ITIL approach allows your company to keep up with these accelerating advancements in technology.<\/p>\n<p>With the ITIL 4 Foundation Course, a candidate can look at the role of IT service management holistically within a wider business, whilst learning how to implement a more flexible set-up to harness digital transformation. In ITIL 4, there are four predominant guiding principles, which should be adopted to improve new service management techniques. These are categorised as follows, with some starter questions attached to each point as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Organisations and People<\/strong> \u2013 who are the people managing the work? Is your hierarchy structured to be conducive to value creation?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Information and Technology<\/strong> \u2013 As part of the rapidly evolving technology aspect, what tech component do you need to deliver the value to your customer? And what information do you need to create that value?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Partners and Suppliers <\/strong>\u2013 How much do you want to incorporate suppliers and partners into your value chain? Do you have in-house capabilities, or could you trust an external partner with any potential peaks in demand?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Value Streams and Processes \u2013 <\/strong>A fundamental question for any project: \u2018why are we doing this? Which steps are vital in our process, and which could be automated, or even disregarded as wasteful?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These four core dimensions are constantly intertwined. Neglecting any of these principles in favour of another presents issues across other dimensions, so balancing these is pivotal to the delivery of a successful project.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Why do I need an ITIL 4 Foundation Course qualification?<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>One of our biggest mantras as a company is: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trainingbytesize.com\/nz\/2019\/07\/08\/you-dont-achieve-amazing-in-your-comfort-zone\/\">you don\u2019t achieve anything in your comfort zone<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you have already adopted ITIL, or you are preparing for its rollout, this qualification is a must for a whole host of career paths, including IT professionals, business process owners and service designers. The ITIL Foundation Course Online will give you a comprehensive understanding of this tried and tested framework, that will allow you to streamline and improve upon your company\u2019s IT processes.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #000000;font-size: 18px\">What does the ITIL 4 Foundation Course explore?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The course will look at the role of IT service management as a strategic capability within organisations as well as the structure and purpose of the new framework. In addition to this, it explores and provides guidance around two core components: <strong>Service Value System<\/strong> and the <strong>Four Dimensions Model.<\/strong> The course will also provide an outline of the <strong>Service Value Chain<\/strong> as well as the <strong>ITIL\u00ae Practices and Principles.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For a full run down on the course components, you can visit our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trainingbytesize.com\/nz\/product-category\/itil-4\/\">course outline<\/a> page.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Which courses does an ITIL 4 qualification<\/strong> <strong>complement?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>If you already have a project management qualification in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trainingbytesize.com\/nz\/product-category\/prince2\/\">PRINCE2<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trainingbytesize.com\/nz\/product-category\/agilepm\/\">Agile<\/a> , an ITIL 4 framework can complement this perfectly. For example, as an ITIL approach covers all IT service management issues within a company, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trainingbytesize.com\/nz\/2021\/02\/12\/7-principles-of-prince2\/\">PRINCE2 principle<\/a> of breaking projects down into controllable stages helps with a seamless transition to this framework. Likewise, PRINCE2\u2019s emphasis and adherence to business justification keeps an ITIL framework from \u2018scope creep\u2019, where a project exceeds its original boundaries of cost or time, for example.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>How to pass the ITIL 4 exam<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The ITIL 4 Foundation Course will take roughly 10 hours to complete and can be accessed flexibly from anywhere in the world online at a time that suits your schedule.
