Why study this course

This three-day training course in ITIL® 4 Collaborate, Assure and Improve (CAI) is focused on the five practices related to the management, building, and support of relationships and understanding with stakeholders and suppliers. It aims to deliver Service Assurance and continually improve services and security through managed processes and effective collaboration. Structured and aligned around the ITIL framework, it also aims to derive value from optimising the interaction within the value stream.

The ITIL 4 CAI course is part of the ITIL 4 Practice Manager (PM) designation, which encompasses a set of practice-based modules designed for performing specific work or accomplishing an objective. The practices are also enriched with additional guidance on the capability model based on the ITIL 4 maturity model.
