The purpose of the Foundation qualification is to confirm that a delegate has sufficient knowledge of the contents and high level requirements of the ISO/IEC 20000 standard, and understands at a foundation level how the standard operates in a typical IT service provider organisation.

You will sit your foundation exam on the last day of this course.

Possession of the Foundation Certificate is also one of the possible pre-requisites for the Practitioner qualification.
