We can now offer academic pricing on ITIL v3 Foundations training!

Right before we left for break Dec 19, we found out that Wake Forest University is now an official "Accredited Training Associate (ATA)" and can now teach ITIL v3 Foundations classes! We are even listed on the Loyalist list of training providers for ITIL v3 Foundations!

ITIL course accreditation is a little complicated. :-) To offer accredited training, an organization must become an "Accredited Training Organization (ATO)," or become an associate to an existing ATO. Each trainer must also become an "Accredited Trainer (AT)."

A couple of months ago, we teamed up with taruu, a great group of people and an ATO. We are now an ATA for taruu. Part of our deal is that we can offer academic discounts on ITIL v3 Foundations training! Let me know if you're interested!
