Build deep expertise in designing, delivering, supporting and continually improving digital services with this 3-day ITIL® Service (Version 5) certification course. More than a technical discipline, service management is how organisations connect day-to-day operations to strategic outcomes and how the experience of every interaction shapes the trust customers and users place in IT.
ITIL® Foundation (ITIL 4 or Version 5) is required to attend this course.
ITIL® is the world's leading best practice framework for digital product and service management, adopted by over 3 million professionals, trusted by 50,000+ organisations, and used by 82% of the Fortune 500.
ITIL® Version 5 is the latest evolution of the framework. It expands beyond traditional IT service management to address the full lifecycle of digital products and services, designed for AI-driven, digital-first organisations. It unifies product and service management into a single lifecycle so teams can design, build, launch, operate and improve together, delivering faster outcomes, fewer gaps and stronger customer experiences.
ITIL® Service defines a service as a means of enabling value co-creation by helping customers achieve outcomes without having to manage specific costs and risks. Services are not just technical solutions, they are structured systems of design, delivery, support and improvement that evolve over time and that connect what an organisation does to how its customers experience it.
This course provides comprehensive, practical guidance for managing services across the full digital product and service lifecycle. It explains how the eight activities of the digital service provider's value chain connect in practice applied as needed, in any sequence, and often concurrently and includes role-specific insights immediately applicable across service design, delivery, operations, support and improvement.
The framework integrates with Agile, DevOps and Lean ways of working and is applicable across industries and organisations of any size.
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
Explain the key concepts of digital products and services and the role of services in value co-creation
Describe the scope, purpose, benefits and challenges of the ITIL Product and Service Lifecycle Model
Explain how organisational value chain activities support the service lifecycle
Apply the purpose, scope, steps, roles, outputs, critical success factors, metrics and practical recommendations for each service lifecycle activity
Explain how management practices enable and support service lifecycle activities
Explain how operating models, service value streams and organisational structures contribute to successful digital service management
Explain how AI, automation, and complementary frameworks including PRINCE2 and DevOps support and enhance service management across the lifecycle

Service management and delivery roles: Service Owners, Support Managers, Process Leads and specialists in Incident, Problem and Change Management
