Course Description
SecureNinja's interactive workshop in Washington, DC, San Diego, CA, or in a blended online format is a workshop leading to the ISO/IEC 20000 Practitioner examination and is aimed at IT practitioners who assist organizations to achieve or retain ISO/IEC 20000 certification. The purpose of the Practitioner qualification is to ensure that the candidate has sufficient understanding of ISO/IEC 20000 and its application to be able to analyze and apply their knowledge to a range of activities that would support organizations in achieving and retaining ISO/IEC 20000 certification.
The course covers the interpretation and application of the ISO/IEC 20000 standard and enables practitioners to develop the Service Management capability of an organization and assess its readiness for certification within the ISO/IEC 20000 certification scheme.
