09:00	IT Service Management: ITIL Foundation (3 of 6) Finished 09:00 - 12:30 University Information Services, Roger Needham Building, Huntingdon Room This instructor-led fee based course has been commissioned by the UIS through a third party company. ITIL is Best Practice IT Service Management which is used by many organisations around the world. A whole ITIL philosophy has grown up around the guidance contained within the ITIL books and the supporting certification and qualification scheme. The ethos behind the development of ITIL is the recognition that organisations are becoming increasingly dependent on IT in order to satisfy their corporate aims and meet their business needs. This leads to an increased requirement for reliable, high-quality IT services. The ITIL Foundation course provides IT managers, practitioners, support staff and staff interfacing with the information systems function with a practical understanding of the key concepts, principles, processes and functions that enables successful IT service management provision. It also prepares delegates for the ITIL Foundation Certificate Examination. The course is based on the ITIL best practice service lifecycle approach featured in the latest 2011 guidelines. ITIL Foundation is the entry level qualification of the ITIL Qualifications scheme.
09:30	Level 5 in Leadership and Management (6 of 6) Finished 09:30 - 13:00 CCTL, Revans Room This programme develops a range of leadership and management skills and knowledge including the following topics: the role of the manager/leader, engaging and developing others and managing work and performance. It is highly participative and there is a strong emphasis on applying new learning to your work situation for the benefit of your team and your department. The programme has been revised due to changes to course requirements for the Institute of Leadership in Management (ILM). The programme will not therefore be accredited by the ILM. However it does include those topics identified as most relevant to middle managers in the University and is broadly equivalent to Level 5 within the National Qualifications Framework (NQF). Successful achievement of the programme requires the assessment work to be completed as this gives evidence of how managers have developed and how they are putting their learning into practice. If you are interested in participating in this programme, please complete the application form at the following link and send a signed hard copy to PPD: Level 5 in Leadership and Management Application Form Please also make a booking for the Briefing Session. The Briefing will enable you to learn more about the programme and to identify if it will meet your leadership and management development needs. Places will be confirmed following the briefing.
