- Basic concepts linked with the Service Lifecycle
- Activities and roles associated with the Service Lifecycle

What a Virtual Instructor-Led Class Is
A virtual instructor-led training class combines the qualities of a conventional classroom with the ease of an online environment. By allowing students to connect to their instructors through a simple web application, lectures, discussions, demonstrations, and activities can be viewed by learners from the comfort of home or the workplace. Plus, through the use of white boards and chatting applications, students can voice their opinions and questions. The questions asked and answers provided will be available off-line as text documents for future reference.
The Benefits You Will Receive by Opting for Virtual Instructor-Led Classes
By enrolling in Ashford Global IT’s Virtual Instructor-Led ITIL V3 Foundation training class, you can enjoy the following benefits:
1. The Chance to Earn Your Certification from Anywhere – All you need to be part of Ashford Global IT’s online class is a computer and Internet access. You can learn and interact with your instructors and classmates from anywhere. Once your course is over, you will be provided with a voucher for the certification exam. However, you will need to identify a suitable proctor and coordinate with him or her to set a date and time for your exam.
2. More Flexible Timings – In general, Ashford Global IT provides its conventional in-class ITIL Foundation course over the span of three days. However, the virtual instructor-led class stretches over five days and is typically scheduled from 1-5pm Eastern Standard Time during the business week. This allows our students to spend all but 4 hours each day tending to their regular work projects before and after the class.
3. No Compromise on Quality – Despite the flexibility of time and place, no compromises are made on the quality of the coursework. Ashford Global IT has the best ITIL certified instructors around. Plus, the coursework is designed and delivered in such a way that you will pass your ITIL Foundation Certification exam on your first attempt. Ashford Global IT trusts in the quality of its course so much that it offers the following Success Guarantee:
Students who do not successfully pass the certification exam on their first attempt will receive:
· A voucher for one exam re-take (students must have taken the first exam within three business days of the end of the training course)
· Direct interaction with instructors to answer any questions
· Additional study materials to help prepare for the certification exam
· A chance to re-attend an open enrollment class at no cost
4. Ease of Interaction with Course Instructors – You can easily get in touch with your course instructors through Ashford Global IT’s web portal. You can exchange questions and answers through chat and email.
5. No Travel Costs or Time – As a professional, your time is worth a lot of money. Travel costs (airfare, gasoline prices, etc.) are another element that will increase your total expenses if you choose to pursue your training at a brick and mortar institution. By choosing a virtual class, you won’t have to spend money or time traveling to another location to attend a class.
6. Companies Can Train Their Employees Closer to Work With Much Ease – If your employer decides that he wants to have more ITIL trained professionals, he can easily enroll a few employees in virtual instructor-led training. This will give him the chance to keep his employees close to the workplace while, at the same time, equipping them with the necessary skills required for the growth of the organization.
7. Students Can Enhance their Skills through Networking – Because you will be part of a class that reaches out to professionals from across the world, you will learn the latest techniques implemented in different companies. You will also learn how other organizations handle a particular matter.
Things to Consider Before Enrolling
Though the advantages of enrolling in the Virtual Instructor-Led ITIL V3 Foundation course are many, you need to consider the following before enrolling:
- Time Management – You need to discuss with your employer how you plan to manage your work and your training. You should be able to manage your time effectively so that neither your course nor your work will be affected.
- Your Ability To Focus Without an Instructor – Some people can’t focus without an instructor present in the same room. However, Ashford Global IT has designed the course such that it will thoroughly engage the learner in what is being taught.
- Your Computer Skills – Knowing how to operate a computer and use the Internet for communication is necessary. If your computer skills are rusty or nonexistent, a virtual course may not be the best idea for you.
If you are able to manage your time well, focus, and have adequate computer skills, then this way of teaching is definitely an option for you. AGIT’s virtual instructor-led training offers a path to a prestigious certification at much convenience.
