Quanta ITIL Intermediate pass rates over 10% higher than national average!!
We have just received the latest set of results from ISEB relating to the ITIL® intermediate modules running in Q4 of 2009. We had the following courses running in this period:
APMP for PRINCE2® candidates - the ultimate Project Management tool kit?
Something we have been promoting for quite sometime is the fact that you should not be asking if you should do PRINCE2® or APMP? But asking which one of the two you should do first! There is very little overlap with the two approaches & the blend of both gives a Project Manager an enviable, desirable and rounded toolkit.
The APM themsevles in their latest newsletter have said:
APMP for PRINCE2 candidates
ITIL® v2 qualified? Looking to change to ITIL v3?
Then you would be well advised to talk to us!
The OGC announced the ITIL v2 withdrawal plan at the end of 2009, which if you are looking to convert to ITIL v3 would ffect you as follows:
- ITIL Foundation Bridge 31st December 2010
- ITIL Managers Bridge 30th June 2011
Yes these dates may look like light-years away but then again does anyone remember Xmas 2009? Exactly time flies.

What is it?
Hyper-V is a virtualisation product.
Hyper-V vs. VMWare
In the world of virtualisation VMWare were one of the first, but not the only, company in this area. Connectix were also there early with their Virtual PC product which ran on the Apple Macintosh to allow Mac users to run Windows software. Microsoft bought Connectix and the rest as they say, is history.
PRINCE2® templates
Having completed a PRINCE2 course, you will now know that PRINCE2 recommends that you present certain documents in certain ways, containing certain information. Having already spent a week out of the office, on one hand the last thing you want to do is fire up Word or Excel and create these documents. But on the other you are keen to put what you have learnt into practice. Wouldn't it be good if there were a set of templates already made for you? Well there is...
Would you like a 29 hour day?
I think we have all joked from time to time saying "there are just not enough hours in the day". The truth of the matter is though even if you had a longer day, you would probably still say the same thing.
You can however effectively create time and not by working harder or even for longer but by working smarter!
ITIL® v3 Lifecycle vs Capability
If you are familiar with the ITIL v2 certification scheme, you can translate Lifecycle and Capability modules into Service Manager and Practitioner modules. If you are unfamiliar with v2, Lifecycle courses are for those individuals working "on" ITSM implementation and Capability courses are for those individuals working "in" the daily process activities.
