IT Service Management

  • Certificate

Program Details

IT service management professionals are skilled in delivering and controlling IT services for end-users. Think of it as being on the managerial side of the “help desk” for folks with IT needs. This certificate will prepare you to not only handle all aspects of technology usage within a company — including hardware, servers and apps — but you’ll also be ready to improve service responsiveness and problem management.

Why Study IT Service Management?

IT service management is customer focused and includes the planning, designing, delivering, operating and controlling of IT processes or operations. With a certificate from University of Jamestown Accelerated, you’ll be more than prepared to oversee each of these aspects, all while providing value to a business or end-user. The courses you take will also prepare you to pass the Comp TIA certification test, should you be interested in furthering your skills.
