I was speaking to Angelica King who, with Andy Atencio and Julie Sneed, is part of the leadership team for itSMF Fusion09. Angelica reminded me of the excellent training opportunities at Fusion09 and I wanted to share them with you.
There are still limited spaces available in several of the numerous training opportunities available in conjunction with the convention.
Training in conjunction with the convention offers you many advantages including:
- Maximize your travel expenditure to combine the excellent convention content and training
- Obtain ITIL V3 certification
- Get exposure to new areas (IQM, COBIT, ISO/IEC 20000)
- Network with expert course instructors
- Network with attendees - other people interested in the course you are taking
One of the best parts about training offered at the convention is that you can find a course that will fit no matter where you are in your education journey and budget.
Courses that caught my eye include:
- ITIL® v3 Executive Overview
- Create a KPI Based Dashboard in Only Four Hours
- ITIL® v2/v3 Foundation Bridge (Includes Certification Exam)
- COBIT® Foundation Course (official ISACA course)
- ITIL® Foundations v3 Certification Training (Includes Certification Exam)
- 3 Day - ITIL® v3 Intermediate Module - Service Transition (Includes Certification Exam)
There are many courses so please visit the Fusion09 Training website to find one that will fit for you.
On another note, for those of you who are still debating attending and need some assistance convincing your manager, please visit the Fusion09 attendance justification tool where sample attendance support tools are available to assist you.
Finally, once you are scheduled to attend don't forget to register for my session at 10am on Tuesday September 22 titled "Teaming COBIT and ITIL for improved value and service." In this session, I will discuss practical use of the two frameworks together to ensure value in your enterprise, not to be missed in these difficult economic times. Head here for more information.
