THE BIG PICTURE

About this course

FitSM is a lightweight IT service management standard with a certification scheme awarded through exams run by APMG International. It recognises practical ITSM competence without excessive complexity and is used across sectors and organisation sizes. Across three days you will cover the core knowledge areas spanning service planning and delivery plus service operation and control. You will analyse scenarios, map a simple service portfolio and catalogue, sketch SLAs and reports, and design streamlined workflows for incident, problem and change. Guided exercises reinforce terminology, roles, documentation and continual improvement. APMG International administers the Foundation and Advanced exams in the scheme, with a separate exam for each level. You can book your chosen exam directly with APMG International or via an accredited training organisation. The course includes practice questions and a timed mock to support your preparation. APMG International owns the certification scheme. MindClick provides training and exam preparation and is not an accredited or authorised partner.
