Have used ILX Group many times over the years for training. Not only are their prices competitive, but their online self-paced learning is thorough and the simulated practise exams prepare you really well for the real thing.

Helped Pass ITIL4 Foundation Certification in first attempt with 95% score.

ITIL4 Foundation online course was very useful to help me pass the ITIL4 Foundation exam in first attempt. Pass Pledge feature is very good as it allows free second attempt and serves as a comfort factor. I didn't have to use Pass Pledge though as I passed the exam in first attempt with score of 95%.

ITIL 4 syllabus

The ITIL service value system

When ITIL 4 was released, the syllabus was updated to reflect the way business is changing. One of the main elements of ITIL 4 is the idea of value co-creation – the concept that value can only be achieved when the end customer is considered in the development of services and features.

As a result, the ITIL 4 framework now includes the ITIL service value system (SVS) and the four dimensions model.

Trusted trainer

The core components of the ITIL SVS are:

  • The ITIL service value chain
  • The ITIL practices
  • The ITIL guiding principles
  • Governance
  • Continuous improvement

To ensure a holistic approach to service management, each of these components should be considered from the following four dimensions:

  • Organisation and people
  • Information and technology
  • Partners and suppliers
  • Value streams and processes
