Build a flexible IT service framework that helps meet user and institutional demands using the ITIL® Intermediate PPO disciplines. This course takes IT professionals through the principles behind planning, protection and optimisation as mandated by the ITIL® framework.

The ITIL® Intermediate PPO course is best suited to IT professionals who:

• Require a deep understanding of the relevant ITIL® processes and how they may be used to enhance the quality of IT service support within a team/organisation – such as the IT service manager or CIO.
• Are involved in project and service planning and resourcing, such as the IT operations manager.
• Have obtained the ITIL® Foundation certificate and want to continue working towards earning the higher-level ITIL® certifications.

The ITIL® framework and all of its component modules is an industry recognised, vendor neutral framework that is used by business across the world to codify and improve their IT service provision. The ITIL® Intermediate PPO course helps IT professionals limit their focus to the planning, protection and optimisation aspects of each ITIL® concept, ensuring they have the knowledge and skills required without the distraction of other, irrelevant considerations.

The ITIL® Intermediate PPO course is provided on a self-study basis, allowing students to complete modules at their own pace, whenever and wherever convenient. Participants can also test their progress and knowledge using the self-assessment tools built into the course materials.
