ITIL® 4 Foundation (HU0C1S)

The course covers the best practice framework of ITIL 4 at a foundational level. Students will learn about the service value system (SVS), the four dimensions of service management, the service value chain, the 7 guiding principles, and service management practices. ITIL 4 is a non-prescriptive, industry best practice providing a vendor-neutral, technology-agnostic framework to address service management challenges by reshaping much of the established ITSM practices in the wider context of customer experience, value streams, and digital transformation, as well as embracing new ways of working, such as Lean, Agile, and DevOps.
