Invensis Learning is a Peoplecert Accredited Training Organization (2778) in Birmingham, approved to deliver official ITIL 4 Foundation training using accredited courseware and standards.
The ITIL 4 Foundation exam validates your understanding of the ITIL 4 service-management framework, including the Service Value System (SVS), the four dimensions of service management, and the ITIL guiding principles. The exam focuses on the ITIL 4 service value chain, key practices (Incident Management, Problem Management, Change Enablement, Service Request Management, Continual Improvement), the seven guiding principles, and ITIL 4 service-management concepts. Through a combination of multiple-choice questions, candidates are tested on their ability to apply ITIL 4 principles in real-world service-management environments.
Note: Prices may vary depending on your location and delivery preferences. Reach out to our learning advisors for the exact pricing details.
ITIL 4 Foundation is a recognised marker of service management ability across Birmingham, valued by financial-services giants, professional-services firms, automotive employers and public-sector bodies that run large, business-critical IT operations. As HSBC UK, Deutsche Bank and the big-four firms expand their city operations and modernise service delivery, credentialed ITSM professionals are in steady demand. Roles run from service desk analyst through to incident, problem and service delivery manager, and here is what the local market is telling us right now.
ITIL 4 Foundation is more than a certificate. It is a career step for service-minded IT professionals. Join those who turn reliable service delivery into recognised, in-demand skills. Start your journey today.
Birmingham's IT and service-management market is expanding with financial-services growth, public-sector modernisation and digital transformation, and employers increasingly separate certified ITSM professionals from the rest. Here is which side of that line you want to be on.

In ITIL 4 Foundation training you learn the concepts, vocabulary and practices that underpin modern IT service management. By the end of the programme you can describe the Service Value System, apply the guiding principles and connect day-to-day service work to value and continual improvement.
Explain what a service is, how value is co-created between providers and consumers, and the difference between utility and warranty, outputs and outcomes, and costs and risks in service delivery.
Understand how the Service Value System brings together guiding principles, governance, the service value chain, practices and continual improvement to turn demand into valuable products and services.
Use principles such as focus on value, start where you are, progress iteratively with feedback and keep it simple and practical to adopt and adapt ITIL in real working contexts.
Apply foundational practices including incident management, problem management, change enablement, service desk, service level management and service request management to support users and improve service.
Weigh organisations and people, information and technology, partners and suppliers, and value streams and processes, including external PESTLE factors, when planning and delivering services.
Use the continual improvement model and key metrics, KPIs and SLAs to measure performance, identify gaps and keep refining services and practices over time.
