ITIL® INTERMEDIATE LEVEL – RELEASE, CONTROL & VALIDATION (RCV) TRAINING & EXAM PACKAGE

Protect IT service offerings more effectively using the ITIL® Release, Control & Validation framework. This course takes IT professionals through the principles involved in controlling system and software releases, and validating the outcomes of these types of projects.

The ITIL® Intermediate RCV course is part of the wider ITIL® framework used for codifying and improving IT service delivery systems. This particular course is specifically designed for IT operations directors and change control managers, teaching them the fundamental techniques required for successful implementation of the RCV framework.

Students can study each of these modules at their own pace, fitting their learning around their day-to-day jobs. Self-assessment tools also allow participants to assess their progress and readiness for the ITIL® RCV examinations, and to revisit weaker topics and modules for further study.

The ITIL® Intermediate RCV course leads to the self-contained, free-standing ITIL® RCV qualification, although it can be used to provide course credits towards advanced qualifications including the ITIL® Expert certificate.

KEY LEARNING POINTS
