Description

The ITIL® Service (Version 5) eLearning course is one of the first advanced modules in the new ITIL (Version 5) certification scheme. It explores how organizations design, build, deliver, support, and continually improve digital services to co-create value for stakeholders. ITIL Service positions digital services not as a support function, but as a central mechanism through which organizations deliver outcomes, shape experiences, and build resilience.

This flexible, self-paced program helps you understand how digital services are managed from a service provider perspective — covering every lifecycle activity from discovery through to support and continual improvement. You'll learn to apply human-centred design, effective transition, operational, delivery, and support approaches to ensure services meet stakeholder needs and agreed service levels.

You'll study at your own pace while covering all concepts required to confidently prepare for the official ITIL® Service (Version 5) certification exam, recognized globally by employers and organizations.

ITIL® Service (Version 5) is part of the ITIL Managing Professional stream in the new ITIL (Version 5) certification pathway.
