Practical ITAM Training Course and Certification
The online Practical ITAM Training Course enables worldwide ITAM professionals to view 12 hours on-demand videos to learn about all 12 elements of world class ITAM from the comfort of their own workspace. As part of the programme, users can independently assess their organization’s maturity at the start and end of the programme, with the goal of increasing ITAM maturity and improving your practice.
Our learning modules will not only be sharing best practice and ITAM theory, but will also lean upon the real life experiences of our community so you’ll learn what to do, from people who have done it. You will also be able to discuss and connect with others on the programme forum and share ideas and implementation strategies.
At the end of the Practical ITAM Training, delegates complete an online exam to receive certification against the programme to demonstrate their learning. Upon successful completion of the exam, delegates will be PITAM Certified.
