Duration of ITIL courses

[Kennedy]

There are some ATO which offer two day course for ITIL FOundation and some three days. Is there a special way which they have found out so that the delegate can pass the ITIL foundation in two days?

Hi Kennedy,
Hope your are doing well!
Foundation course is all about the basics of ITIL framework and constitue processes. These ATO have devoloped their own course structure and devided the whole training course in volume wise module. These also include Mock tests and dump questions after end of every session which help the tranee to get through the Exam.
For a personal who is currently working in industry, Its all about mapping of this framework to his organization structure.

Thank you for your reply. But how is it that the entire course can be covered in two days? Also I have heard that the exam is conducted in some ATO's at the end of second day. That means the whole content of ITIL Foundation is completed in one and half days. Regarding the APMG exam, it is tough. Since I have a friend who is interested in doing the ITIL foundation through self-study, I want to have some valuable suggestions.

For your case, if your friend is not new to industry and have worked on the operation floor then its not difficult to clear the xam after two days of training. many of my friends who were currently working on the IT operations have cleared the xam with two days of training.
But if your Friend is totally new to the industry and the ITIL process, then it will be diffucult to get through the xam in two days of time.

Can you please tell me which are the ATO's which publish pass percentage in their website in US?

ATOs which consistently have poor pass rates will be in danger of losing accreditation. On the other hand, there is only so much we tutors can do if someone is not motivated. Motivated students virtually always pass.

All ATOs have their material passed as meeting the syllabus, and trainers are often freelance, so the fact that they worked for X one week, and everybod passed, and another trainer the following week had 15% fail mean that the % do not offer you amt guarantee

I would personally prefer a 3 day course sounds more reliable any suggestions for them.
