Fastest qualification time in UK attracts hundreds of ambitious Service Management applicants to The Training Camp...


With demand for qualified professionals doubling in the last year, IT service management qualifications are rapidly establishing themselves as the yardstick for IT personnel. The country’s first accelerated learning IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) course, offered by The Training Camp, has added an extra five sessions to its 2006 schedule to cope with growing demand.

The Training Camp offers Accelerated Programmes for both ITIL foundation and practitioner levels with inclusive review sessions and the examination, which can be completed in just 10 days out of the office. This means on average students spend one third less time out of the office compared to competitors’ courses.

The courses, which are approved by the ISEB, have attracted candidates looking to further their careers in service management, prompted by the prospect of greater responsibility and higher wages. Qualified service managers can expect to earn at least £33 an hour.

ITIL is intended to assist organisations in developing a framework for IT service management. Worldwide, ITIL is the most widely recognised qualification in IT service management and has just become the UK's benchmark certification of choice.

Once qualified, ITIL certification will enable students to apply a systematic and professional approach to the management of IT service provision. In order to ensure that its delegates profit from the intensive learning process, The Training Camp employs a range of techniques designed to accelerate a students learning. These techniques involve visual lessons in the morning with white boards and slides, when the brain is most receptive. Tactile “lab-based” lessons in the afternoon, when people need more stimulation and in the evening delegates are engaged in relaxed group discussions to reinforce what they’ve learnt throughout the day.

Under the training schedule, learners have 24-hour access to quality personal workstations, audiovisual equipment, supplies and lab equipment as well as on-site Certification Testing.

“Although we were expecting our ITIL courses to be popular, having to put on an extra five sessions is certainly a first for us,” said Robert Chapman, co-founder, The Training Camp. “In today’s business climate, just having a strong IT background is not sufficient. ITIL provides people with additional skills such as systems analysis and security management as well as an understanding of overall business perspectives.”
