This training uses the common elements of multiple IT Service Management frameworks, including ITIL\u00ae 4 (Information Technology Infrastructure Library), ITSM Essentials, and FitSM. This allows participants to focus on the underlying principles of ITSM: customer focus, creating value, specific practices, and how they all integrate. At the end of the simulation, participants will have fundamental knowledge of IT Service Management and experience what it is like to perform as a high-velocity IT team.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>No pre-requisite is required.<\/li>\n<li>The course is delivered in person over two days.<\/li>\n<li>12 learners are allowed per class.<\/li>\n<li>The focus is on the fundamentals of ITSM, its application and operationalization.<\/li>\n<li>ITSM simulation lab is incorporated into training.<\/li>\n<li>The digital badge is awarded upon completion of the course, including an exam at the end of day 2.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/rutgers.service-now.com\/kb?id=kb_article_view&amp;sysparm_article=KB0018538\" target=\"_self\">ITSM Fundamentals course<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><!-- f--field f--description -->\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"button-wrapper\">\n        \n            <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<style>\n    .cta-banner .inner-wrapper {\n        display: flex;\n        justify-content: space-between;\n    }\n\n    .cta-banner .inner-wrapper .button-wrapper {\n        align-items: center;\n        display: flex;\n        gap: 30px;\n    }\n<\/style><\/div><!-- c--component c--special-announcement -->\n\n    <\/section><!-- cc--component-container cc--section -->\n\n\n    <section class=\"cc--component-container cc--special-announcement  cta-banner color-white\">\n\n<div class=\"c--component c--special-announcement\">\n            <a class=\"anchor-adjustment\" id=\"improvement\"><\/a>\n        \n<div class=\"inner-wrapper\">\n    <div class=\"text-wrapper\">\n        <div class=\"f--field f--section-title \"><h2>\n            ITSM Continual Improvement Training and Badge    <\/h2>\n<\/div><!-- f--field f--section-title -->\n<div class=\"f--field f--description \"><figure class=\"rudr-image align-right embed-small\" style=\"width: 25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/it.rutgers.edu\/service-management\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2026\/01\/itsm-continual-improvement-300x300-1.png\" alt=\"it service management continual improvement microcredential badge\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>This workshop creates an opportunity for day-to-day operational improvement and collaboration with other ITSM practitioners in their specific practice area.
