EXIN ITSM Master

The focus of IT service management is the provision of IT related services to support a business. The international standard in IT service management ISO/IEC 20000:2011 makes it clear what is essential: understanding, supporting and changing traditional IT cultures and environments to one of service-orientation and value to the business.

These non-technical skills of the Master are in line with the needs of maturing service providers.

The Master Certificate in IT Service Management based on ISO/IEC 20000 is designed to provide evidence of the ability to create and evaluate the overall IT service management system and to initiate organizational change to meet the compliance requirements of an organization.

The purpose of the seminar leading to the Master certificate is to provide an opportunity to structure existing knowledge, skills and experience aligned with the international standard in IT service management ISO/IEC 20000:2011.

Participants extend their knowledge, skills and experience in the seminar by debate with peers. An integral part of the facilitating environment of the seminar is a practical project which focuses on the application of the newly acquired understanding and will be the basis for the candidate’s assessment.
