Johannesburg, 08 May 2012

A trusted source for accredited ITIL training, Fox IT Service Management South Africa, today announced a partnership with itSM Solutions that will introduce accredited, ITIL cloud-based training solutions to the South African Development Community (SADC).

“These unique, high-value, reduced cost and flexible ITIL training solutions increase the value proposition to organisations and students in terms of cost, class preparation, content retention and exam readiness,” states Ian Clark, Regional Managing Director of Fox ITSM South Africa.

Clark adds: “The addition of these solutions to our regional Education Services Portfolio enables customers to meet their individual, or organisation-specific, ITIL ITSM certification goals, while benefiting from additional, alternative learning options to our established classroom-based training.”

Rick Lemieux, Managing Partner, itSM Solutions, added: “IT professionals across the globe have been looking for accredited training solutions that combine the flexibility of e-learning with mentoring value, and where required, access to a personal instructor to lead them through the programme. With the help of Fox ITSM South Africa, we are proud to be able to bring these high-value training solutions to the South African Development Community."
