Training and certification programme

The training programme is structured in three levels: Foundation, Advanced and Expert. Participants begin with the 1-day foundation course, which provides basic ITSM knowledge and introduces the FitSM model. On completion of the Foundation course, participants can take one of the two or both advanced level courses.

Advanced courses are on two different topic areas, and are each two days in length. These courses are suitable for those looking to manage a specific process, or just increase their overall experience in (federated) ITSM.

Those completing both advanced level courses are eligible for the Expert level course, which will put emphasis on methods and real-world examples of implementation and improvement of ITSM, and look at common problems such as process interfaces and the challenges of organisational change.

The FitSM training scheme is structured in three levels: foundation, advanced and expert

"The FitSM Foundation course helped me understand some of the internal procedures and service-related processes within my organisation I didn’t know much about before. As someone who doesn’t work with service management directly, this level is enough to gain a basic knowledge to foster conversations and help with cross-departmental collaboration. Very useful!" - Ursula Rabar, Project Community Manager at OPERAS and the OA Book Usage Data Trust

"The FitSM Foundation course allowed me to formalise and correct some of the “common sense” procedures I used in my day-to-day service management, and I became more proactive in my federated collaborations. As a service manager, I find FitSM principles useful for any size of collaboration since they
offer an easy-to-follow guide that can be adapted for smaller collaborations but should be taken as it is in large federated ones." - Gino Marchetti Informatics/Bioinformatics engineer at CC-IN2P3
