The Art of Service Wins New Global ITIL IPAD Service Level Management and Financial Management Accreditation
The Art of Service becomes one of the 1st worldwide accredited providers of a new specialist ITIL® course for Service Level Management and Financial Management.
Brisbane, Australia (PRWEB) November 10, 2007 -- The Art of Service today announced it has become one of the first organizations to receive worldwide accreditation for a new integrated ITIL® certification course that will enable practitioners to effectively manage, organize and optimize the Service Level Management and Financial Management processes.
The Art of Service was the first in the industry to introduce specialized, role-based certification courses and its ITIL Practitioner: IPAD Service Level Management and Financial Management course has been designed for process managers, coordinators and other specialists operating in the Service Management function, as well as IT, Network and System Managers.
Awarded by EXIN, the Netherlands-based Examination Institute for Information Science, the accreditation is intended to guarantee and promote the quality of ITIL courses and the companies who deliver them. EXIN is one of two independent examination bodies responsible for managing ITIL accreditation.
"The Art of Service has a long-standing relationship with EXIN and is already accredited to provide training for the full ITIL certification program," confirms Ivanka Menken, executive director of The Art of Service. "We're thrilled to add this new distinction to our growing list of 'firsts' as a global leader in IT management best practices."
Previously, EXIN designated The Art of Service as one of the first globally accredited organization to deliver ITIL Practitioner: Configuration, Change and Release Management. The primary goal of these new clustered course offerings is to enable IT professionals to gain a more in-depth view of how specific groups of highly inter-dependent processes should work together.
"This course is designed to demonstrate how the linkage of Service Level Management and Financial Management processes can help to deliver a stable IT environment," continues Menken. "It will support a highly proactive management approach to optimizing processes."
Menken believes this new course once again demonstrates the pioneering approach to ITIL education that has become a The Art of Service hallmark. The five-day certification course has a 65% bias on practical application--in addition to in-class curriculum instruction, the course also includes group exercises and presentations by attendees.
