Overview

ITIL® (Version 5) Foundation introduces learners to the latest evolution of the world’s most widely adopted framework for digital product and service management.

Released globally in February 2026, ITIL (version 5) reflects modern digital‑first, product‑centric and AI‑native environments, expanding on ITIL4 while keeping its core principles intact.

The Foundation level provides a practical introduction to the ITIL Value System, the Product and Service Lifecycle, the Guiding Principles, and the modernised practices that support consistent, value‑driven delivery in complex environments. It is the official entry point into the updated certification scheme.

By the end of ITIL Foundation, learners will be able to:

  • Understand the core concepts of digital product and service management, including value creation and co‑creation.
  • Explain the Four Dimensions of product and service management.
  • Describe the components of the ITIL Value System, including governance, the value chain and management practices.
  • Understand and apply the ITIL Guiding Principles in practical, everyday decision‑making.
  • Understand the Product & Service Lifecycle Model (Discover → Design → Acquire → Build → Transition → Operate → Deliver → Support).
  • Recognise the role of AI, automation, sustainability, digital experience, and complexity‑ready approaches in modern service management.
  • Explain the purpose of the updated management practices and how they support value delivery.
  • Use value stream mapping concepts to improve flow, visibility and outcomes.

This course is ideal for:

  • IT professionals at any stage of their career moving into digital product or service delivery roles.
  • Service desk staff, analysts, engineers, administrators, and operational teams.
  • Product managers, service owners, practice managers, and process managers.
  • Leaders responsible for digital transformation, governance, or service operations.
  • Professionals aiming to understand AI‑enabled service environments and modern operating models.

While there are no mandatory prerequisites, having experience in IT services is advantageous.

Once upon a time, in a bustling city where glass skyscrapers kissed the sky and the hum of technology filled the air, there was a small park. This park was an oasis of greenery amidst the urban sprawl, home to a majestic oak tree that stood tall and proud. This oak had witnessed the city grow and evolve over many decades, and it had become a symbol of strength, wisdom, and resilience for the locals.

Across the street from this park, a group of visionary entrepreneurs was in the process of establishing a new consultancy firm. They wanted a name that would not only represent their commitment to providing insightful and robust solutions but also reflect their deep roots in the community and their dedication to helping businesses grow and flourish.

One crisp autumn morning, as the founders met to brainstorm names, a ray of sunlight broke through the clouds and illuminated the old oak tree in the park. Its leaves shimmered with a golden glow, casting a warm, inviting light. Inspired by this radiant sight, one of the founders suggested the name “BrightOak.” The name embodied the brilliance of innovative ideas and the steadfast strength of the mighty oak, a perfect metaphor for their consultancy.

And so, BrightOak Consultancy was born, with a mission to illuminate the path to success for businesses of all sizes, drawing on their wisdom and experience to help clients thrive in an ever-changing world. The majestic oak continues to stand as a reminder of their origins and their commitment to excellence.
