Overview

The IT Service Management Fundamentals Level 3 course is designed for learners seeking a structured introduction to the principles, frameworks, and professional responsibilities associated with the IT Service Manager role. This course explores how IT services are designed, delivered, supported, and continuously improved to meet organisational and user needs.

IT Service Management focuses on aligning IT services with business objectives while ensuring reliability, efficiency, security, and value for money. Throughout this course, learners develop an understanding of how IT Service Managers oversee service lifecycles, manage risks, coordinate teams, and support service quality.

The course introduces core ITSM concepts, including the ITIL framework, service strategy, service design, service transition, service operation, and continual service improvement.
