ITIL® Intermediate Capabilities - Operational Support and Analysis

ITIL Service Capability Modules focus on a deep level of understanding of ITIL processes and roles, how they are implemented and how they interact. The modular approach of the Intermediate Level modules allows candidates to develop an ITIL specialism. The Operational Support & Analysis module will help you to gain the technical level of knowledge and skills required for detailed execution and implementation of specific ITIL processes.

The ITIL Intermediate certificate in Operational Support & Analysis (OSA) is a course that can be run over four or five days (depending upon the requirements of the training group). Delegates attending this course will gain a comprehensive understanding of ITIL Service Management as it applies to the Operational Support & Analysis processes, aligned to the current version, ITIL: 2011. Delegates will also prepare for and sit a 90 minute, complex multiple-choice examination. The course consists of lectures, detailed group exercises, discussions, examination technique training, mock examinations and culminates in an invigilated exam on the final day.
