FitSM Foundation Training and Certification


FitSM is a lean, pragmatic framework for IT service management (ITSM) designed for organisations that need a simple, understandable and quick-to-implement approach. The framework is based on 14 core processes with clear requirements and provides extensive free materials. The documents for the FitSM Foundation Training are freely available on the FitSM website and can be used for self-study.

Certification

FitSM offers a tiered certification scheme (Foundation, Advanced, Expert).

Certification courses on an individual basis

Certification courses for individuals must be booked directly with the providers (e.g. mITSM, glenfis, maxpert) as individual training courses in consultation with the respective supervisor. Financing must be provided from the individual training budget.

Certification courses via Central IT courses

The Training, CR & Licensing team organises the following certification course at Foundation level for Central IT employees as soon as five interested persons have registered for a course. Financing is handled centrally by Central IT.

FitSM Foundation

IT Service Management (ITSM) is the de facto standard method for organising IT and streamlining IT activities into customer-facing services, and has been used by many IT service providers for about 20 years. During this time, more than 2 million professionals have obtained an ITSM certification.

FitSM is a clear, pragmatic, lightweight and achievable standard for ITSM that is more accessible and applicable to a wider range of environments than traditional ITSM solutions (e.g. ITIL). All FitSM materials are released under CC licences. 

This course provides an introduction to IT Service Management according to FitSM and enables participants to achieve the FitSM Foundation certification.
