Study Path
Take the lessons:
It’s best if you spend 15 to 30 minutes a day, every day. A gradual learning process is much more effective than an intense one. We’ve built the course with short, independent lessons to make it possible for you to study them gradually.
While you’re learning, don’t worry about memorizing anything. If something is important, we’ll repeat it so many times from different perspectives that you will automatically remember it.
Take notes, build mind maps, or draw diagrams while you’re taking the lessons. This helps you understand the lessons better and stay focused, even if you never use those notes.
We’ll register you with the examination institute and send you the exam voucher. Vouchers are valid for one year.
Now take the first simulated exam. Don’t worry if your score is not high; you still need to learn the style of the exam and how to manage your time.
Take the second simulated exam. Find your areas of weakness and take the related lessons again.
After a few days, take the simulated exams again to review them. At this point, you can expect scores higher than 75%.
Now take the official sample exams. See this as a learning opportunity, and if you realize any gaps in your knowledge, go back to the related lessons and take them again.
Using your voucher, book the date and time of your exam with the examination institute.
Take the official exam.
Let us know about your success! We’re always happy to receive good news :)
Meanwhile, if you fail in the exam:
Contact us, so that we can review your results and give you a study plan for your second attempt.
Then we will pay for your new exam voucher (if you have met the Pass Guarantee conditions).
When you’re done with your new study plan, you can book the exam and take it.
The guide above is our generic recommendation. If you're in a especial situation, feel free to contact us; we can work together and recommend a custom study path to you.

ITIL is probably the most popular guide about IT Service Management.
ITIL Foundation is the first level of certification in ITIL. After you become certified, you have the option to proceed to the Practitioner, Intermediate, Expert, and Master levels.
Most people who are certified in ITIL find the Foundation certificate enough for their goals.
It takes 21 hours to finish the course in a normal setting; but of course, this is an eLearning course, and you can spend more time on it if you’d like to.
This course is for ITIL 3, which is still valid and you can take its exam. The latest version is ITIL 4, and if you prefer, you can take our ITIL 4 eLearning Course instead of this.
The scope of ITIL 4 Foundation is significantly smaller than ITIL 3 Foundation (about a half). If your goal is to learn as much as possible or your organization uses ITIL 3, ITIL 3 (this course) is a good option, and if you prefer to take the easier or more up to date program or your organization uses ITIL 4, ITIL 4 Foundation would be the good choice.

eLearning Course vs. Classroom Course
Once upon a time, eLearning courses were the inferior choice. This is not the case anymore, and well-formed, quality eLearning courses are better than classroom courses. How come?
Take us, as trainers: can you imagine how difficult it is to deliver a quality course for 8 hours a day? You get tired, or you just have a bad day, and it impacts the course. And who pays for that? The learner. In preparing an eLearning course, in contrast, we spend three to six months perfecting the course until it's just the way we want it. If we're tired, we just stop working and continue the next day; and if we're not satisfied with a lesson, we record it again, and again, and again!
Now think about yourself. Isn't it difficult to tolerate those hard chairs for 8 hours a day, trying to understand intense topics? Isn't it better to be able to take the course at your own pace, for example, half an hour per day? Isn't it great to be able to go back and take a certain lesson again if needed? And lastly, you don't have to risk your time and money taking a course with a trainer who you don't know.
Why Management Plaza?
There are many eLearning providers, and you might be wondering which one is the best choice for you. In fact, it's a simple decision: all you have to do is to watch demos of the courses and compare them :) Just be careful with one thing: there are some providers who create one or a few interesting videos as samples, while the rest of the course doesn't have anything to do with that.
