An independent, self-paced preparation course for the ITIL Foundation exam in its Version 5 form. Six lessons cover how to work from the official syllabus, digital products and services and how value is co-created, the end-to-end product and service lifecycle, governance and guiding principles, practices and value streams in a digital organisation, and a disciplined exam method.
