Courses Level

Foundation level

  • The Foundation is the entry level of the ISO/IEC 20000 examinations.
  • The purpose of the Foundation level is to confirm that the candidate has good/basic knowledge of the contents and requirements of the ISO/IEC 20000 standard and understands how the standard operates in a typical IT service provider organization.
  • The Foundation meets the pre-requisite for entry to the Practitioner certification.

Practitioner Level

  • Candidates who pass the Auditor examination will have shown that they understand the principles of IT Service Management and the requirements of ISO/IEC 20000-1:2011 (Part 1).
