These offerings complement the traditional classroom courses Pink Elephant have delivered since the organization developed the world’s first ITIL course in 1992. In further effort to enable a continual learning experience for all of its customers, Pink Elephant is also offering three added-value components at no additional charge:

1. The Self-Paced Online course is available to all Pink Elephant customers for 12 months following the completion of any ITIL V3 Foundations course.

2. A new PinkEXPERT feature provides further guidance and support from the organization’s expert consulting team for 12 months following the completion of any ITIL V3 Foundations course.

3. Membership of PinkFORUM, a new online community connecting course participants to their peers and other experts in the industry.

“We believe that an education investment must result in practical and measurable improvements back at the workplace,” said Pink Elephant President David Ratcliffe, in a press release. “That’s why we want to provide all Foundations customers with an ongoing support network to help them identify improvement opportunities for the benefit of their organization. For example, even though the online Foundations course takes about four days to complete, having free access to it for a full year, as well as interaction with our expert Consultants and their industry peers, allows participants to regularly review key concepts and drive continual improvements.”

Pink Elephant will continue to schedule courses publicly in major cities, and offer companies on site training for IT staff to maximize training budgets. Special discounts are available for public and on site education. View more information.
