News Release
Project Management Training Online Adds 6 IT Infrastructure Library
(ITIL) Foundations Courses for PDUs
Mendham, New Jersey—April 19, 2007 — Project Management Training Online –
pmtrainingonline.com - announced today that it is providing 6 online courses on the popular subject of IT
Infrastructure Library (ITIL) Foundations. The courses provide 16 contact hours of interactive online
training on the topic of ITIL, and provide PMPs with the opportunity to earn between 2 and 4 PDUs for
each course. Project Management Training Online - www.pmtrainingonline.com - provides one of the
most extensive offerings of online training courses focused on professional project management that can
be found on the internet.
According to John Reiling, PE, MBA, PMP, President of Project Management Training Online, “Many
PMP certified Project Managers are working in the IT field. ITIL, with a focus on a structured approach to
managing IT infrastructure, is a good option for corporate IT professionals who want to improve their
management skills across the spectrum of IT functions. They can improve their skills directly in their
functional area, and earn PDUs as well. As opposed to the many soft skills options that we have, these
are more ‘hard skills’, or ‘technique’ oriented. They also are a good complement to the IT Project
Management and Six Sigma courses, or other management techniques, such as Six Sigma. ITIL, like
Six Sigma, is a comprehensive body of knowledge. The training provides great structured learning on a
popular and important topic, but it also supports preparation for the IT Service Management Foundation
Certificate exam. Regardless of the other objectives for taking any of these courses, PMPs can earn
Professional Development Units (PDUs).”
Consistent with its mission of providing the best training materials to project managers, Project
Management Training Online provides these Skillsoft online courses as part of its own “Course Bundle:
IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) Foundations”. As with other Skillsoft courses, they provide a rich
interactive experience for developing in depth knowledge of the various aspects of ITIL. PMPs can
purchase individual courses, or can purchase all 6 courses in a discounted bundle. Courses include:
"ITIL: The Service Desk and Incident Management", "ITIL: Configuration and Release Management",
“ITIL: Service Level and Capacity Management", "ITIL: Problem and Change Management", "ITIL:
Continuity and Availability Management", and "ITIL: Financial and Security Management". All of these
courses help students to interactively build and reinforce skills in the ITIL discipline, and qualify for PDUs
at the rate of 1 PDU for each course hour, according to PMI policy.
