Course Overview
The integrated service management methodology brings together IT Service Management, Lean, Agile, DevOps, and Organisational Change Management and is a distinctive and forward-thinking approach that is not available from any other certification program in the industry. This certification enables the validation of skills and knowledge integral to the best practice frameworks that work together to optimise customer value, accelerate speed to market, remove waste, and lower costs.
IT organisations are constantly challenged to improve the way services are delivered in respect to quality, speed, and cost. In response to these ongoing pressures, organisations have long turned to ITSM frameworks to improve the quality and value of their service delivery capabilities.
In addition to ITSM practices, recent trends and market pressures have introduced additional models, methods, and concepts designed to further accelerate traditional IT management practices such as project management, software development, and service delivery. However, many organisations find that these practices are leveraged in isolation by different teams. This leads to competition for resources – creating conflict and distracting management's focus, rather than collaborating and gaining the benefit of integration.
The course promotes the view that an 'integrated' approach to managing these practices is needed (and explains exactly how), and that it is not a matter of “which one do we choose?”

- METL: Methods and tools
This list gives the core SFIA skills covered by the course. Elements relevant to other SFIA skills may also be included to a lesser depth. Proficiency in a SFIA skill is measured by performance assessment and is achieved through actual substantial use of that skill in a real-world situation over some time. In course assignments and exercises undertaken through a course can demonstrate elements of the relevant skills which can then be further developed back in the workplace. Acquiring new skills and building on existing skills, ideally occurs within the context of an agreed development plan for each person that ensures that their personal circumstances, strengths and development needs are met.
An amazing instructor who explained the content very clearly and at a very good pace. This was a good balance and approach to learning in a three day intensive period. I found the worked examples very practical and very relatable to the Defence industry sector I work in.
