    ITIL V3 Service Management Plus Foundation

    Any good?

    Booked on a 5 day course for this.......

    Means that if Foundation is passed I will be put through the advanced.

    Given that I am looking at going back to contracting, is this worth having?

    What???

    Foundation is a 3 day course - there is no 'Advanced' course - there are various Intermediates and the Expert course. You need more than 5 days for that lot.

    What on earth have you booked on?

    Ah - someone's sold you a cheap V2 course, haven't they? The one that's ending 'Spring 2010'...

    Note: no they haven't - I've found the course - you're paying twice the amount for a 'normal' 3 day course???

        Oh Dear.

        You've been had, son.

        You only need to go on a 3 day course - you're paying a lot more and getting the same exam.

        But if your employer is paying for it - enjoy...

          If you'd asked on here I would have recommended Sysop* They are excellent and you can retake the exam for free if you fail (although you should pass Foundation if you've been paying attention).

          *I have no connection with Sysop other than I'll be taking the Bridging course with them once I get a contract...

                    A course? For the ITIL Foundation?

                    I spent a couple of hours on Google searching for variations on "free ITIL download" and a couple of evenings reading what I found. Then I sat and passed the exam.
