Our students choose to enroll in our eLearning programs for ITIL V3 Intermediate for a number of reasons:

1. The ability to study in the evening, nights and weekends (if you so desire); this way you can still attend your day job or complete your project, or maximise your billable hours while you gain new knowledge and prepare for the exam.
    
2. No need for travel; eLearning can be done everywhere, including -but not limited to- your desk at the office or at home on the couch. Additional benefits include: no cost for petrol and parking, no extra demand on the environment because you don’t have to fly to a training venue. This is true for the students, but also for the instructor/trainer. This is offering Green IT in a practical way!
    
3. One on One interaction with your instructor. During classroom programs you always have to share with your fellow students. And sometimes the instructor doesn’t have the time to answer your specific question due to the time pressure of going through the curriculum in 3, 4 or 5 days. With eLearning you have your instructor all to yourself and you can ask as many questions as you want.
    
4. The ability to work in your tempo; In classroom programs you are at the mercy of the instructor and this is usually not in the best interest of the individual. From a tempo point of view –  most instructors will work according to the average, or sometimes even slowest, student within the constraints set by the curriculum. As you have access to the eLearning for 3 months you can study at your own convenient tempo. Do you need to finish this program quickly? Go through it in 3 really really long days… need more time to go over the materials again? Just do it. You have 3 months to finish the materials.
    
5. Lower course fee; of course this is a benefit to the student! Because eLearning has  a lot less overhead (no need for course venue, catering, etc.) the ‘admission price’ to attend a program is lower than for classroom courses.

The Art of Service has been offering web-based elearning for ITIL V2 and ITIL V3 certification since February 25th, 2002. What started off as an extra service to our classroom students, has grown into a valuable offering to customers and students globally. We have individual students studying for their ITIL certification, but we also offer the complete Learning Management System with a site license to corporations who need company based coaching to complement the online content.

Passrate for ITIL V2 (Foundation and all 4 Practitioner) and ITIL V3 (Foundation and all Intermediate) certification has been equal, if not better than classroom students! We currently have a number of students who are going through the entire ITIL Expert certification stream online. All our ITIL certification courses are EXIN accredited.
