IT Governance Limited Offers One-Stop-Shop For Booking ITIL Training Across The UK
Ely, England, August 30, 2007 – With organisations across the UK becoming increasingly dependent on ITIL (IT Infrastructure Library) as the foundation for their IT service management, there is growing demand for relevant ITIL training from qualified local providers. To help organisations locate the training provider nearest them, IT Governance Limited, the one-stop-shop for ITIL training resources, has partnered with a number of accredited ITIL Training Providers in order to offer easy access to a range of courses throughout the UK.
ITIL, recently updated with a third edition, is a framework of best-practice approaches designed to facilitate delivery to the business of high quality information technology services. Originally developed by the British Government’s Office of Government Commerce, it has become widely adopted by organisations all over the world and enables businesses to deliver effective IT services while achieving a good return on their investment. The ITIL framework provides invaluable best-practice guidance on topics including Service Design and Delivery, Security Management and Software Asset Management.
Through its ITIL Training Service IT Governance Limited is able to help companies and candidates identify the most appropriate training option for their needs from an extensive list of UK providers. The Service offers a centralised one-stop booking resource, enabling courses to be reserved and all pre- and post-course support to be accessed from a single point. Dedicated ITIL Foundation, Practitioner and Manager courses are available in locations as diverse as London, Exeter, Bristol, Manchester and Glasgow, providing a convenient and efficient means for organisations to access the best in professional education.
Alan Calder, CEO of IT Governance Limited, said: “Because of the importance of ITIL to successful IT services, and therefore successful businesses, we felt it important to extend our existing ITIL services to offer this unique nationwide hub for ITIL training. First rate training is more widely available than many appreciate and by visiting our site you can quickly find the right course in the right location for you.”
