Mastering ITIL Intermediate courses require IT professionals to obtain a great insight into the ITIL body of knowledge and to learn how to apply ITIL in real life. SecureNinja’s blended Continual Service Improvement (CSI) training course in Washington, DC, San Diego, CA or in a blended online format, uses an optimal mix of training methods to achieve this result in a way that is most convenient, effective, and economical to learners. Learners obtain the “knowing” component of the course by completing 10 hours of self-paced eLearning in their own time and at their own pace. After completing the eLearning component of the course, the program taps into the natural strengths of the classroom. In 2.5 days, learners are provided with a safe environment where they can learn to “apply” their knowledge through a combination of case studies, assignments, and role-plays. Thinking beyond the traditional classroom “box” and presenting students with an optimal mix of learning methods
This blended training course immerses participants in the overall concepts, processes, policies, and methods associated with the Continual Service Improvement (CSI) phase of the Service Lifecycle. The course covers the management and control of the activities and techniques within the CSI stage, but not the detail of each of the supporting processes. This course is designed using an engaging scenario-based approach to learning the core disciplines of the ITIL best practice and positions the student to successfully complete the associated exam.
Participants benefit from an optimal mix of learning methods that provides them with the most effective way to build their ITIL knowledge with respect to CSI and learn to apply this knowledge in real life. Participants can complete eLearning modules in their own time to build the right level of knowledge before participating in an interactive classroom or virtual classroom sessions where they can apply this knowledge in practice.
