Fact Sheet
2 Day/Classroom


ISO/IEC 20000 is the first worldwide standard specifically aimed at IT Service Management. It proposes a process approach to IT Service Management within an overall Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle. This approach enables IT organizations to establish IT Service Management processes to deliver managed services in a systematic and controlled manner and to enhance the quality of IT services to customers. ISO/IEC 20000 is aligned with and complementary to the process approach defined in IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL®) from the Office of Government Commerce (OGC).


Course Description
The ISO/IEC 20000 Auditors course is a 2-day classroom training relevant for professionals who play a role in auditing the ISO/IEC 20000 standard. This course is designed for professionals and certified auditors who would like to learn how to perform auditing activities as either internal or external auditors based on the ISO/IEC 20000 standard. At the end of the 2-day classroom training, the ITSMF certification exam, which is a multiple-choice exam, can be conducted. This training does not cover audit techniques or the issues involved in preparing an organization for an audit.

The certificate is awarded to candidates passing the relevant examination, which can only be taken as part of an accredited training course. The course covers the interpretation and application of the ISO/IEC 20000 standard.

The exam consists of a closed-book, 25-question, multiple-choice test, which is paper based. To pass, candidates must answer 18 or more questions correctly.

Prerequisites

An employee or contractor of an RCB organization who is:

•  A certified ISO 9000, BS 7799, or Ticket auditor; it is the responsibility of the training provider to ensure that the

•  An IT auditor with at least 3 years' general IT auditing experience.
