The Three T's and one R of ITIL Training

There are four basic things training coordinators need to think about when connecting a student with an ITIL® training delivery method.

The first is Training budget. It makes no sense to go shopping at Tiffany's if you only have a dollar in your pocket.

The second is Travel. Most companies have put a hold on travel until the economy gets better. My gut tells me that even when it gets better there will still be a hold on it especially when management discovers that things still get done without people jumping on airplanes.

The third is Time out of the office. The downturn in the economy has forced companies into a position of doing more with less. With that being the case it's almost impossible for anyone to leave for a couple of days let alone a week.

The fourth is Return on Investment (ROI). That is, if employers (or wives) are paying for the training they want some assurance that the student will pass the exam on the first try and that he or she will return with knowledge they can be used on the job.

Classroom Training Budget & Productivity Impact

• Training Budget - This delivery method tends to be the least expensive as everything (lectures, courseware, mentoring & exams) is delivered online.
• Travel Budget - This delivery method has zero impact on the travel budget
• Time out of the Office - Dependent on how the students structure their self-study schedule this delivery method may or may not require any time out of the office.
• Content Retention / Exam Pass - This program provides a lot of one-on-one online support to help students retain the content and pass the exam on the first try.
