More reviews for our ITIL Foundation Complete Certification Kit (taken from Amazon.com)

The ITIL v3 Foundation Complete Certification kit from The Art of Service was incredibly thorough and provides me with the knowledge to pass my exam on the first try!! Between the printed material, online course and practice exam/questions, you won’t need anything else to pass the ITIL v3 Foundation exam! I highly recommend this if you are looking to pass your cert exam.

The book and corresponding online course were all I needed to study and pass the ITIL Foundation test. However, this is not a simple test-prep book. The kit takes you through all the concepts with decent detail and passes on a good understanding of the principals, processes, and interconnectivities (lifecycle) of Service Management.

This is a must read if you are self studying and is by far the best “bang for the buck” for those of you with a limited training budget or are self-financing your professional growth!

I passed the ITIL V3 Foundation exam with a fairly high score using this book, the online courses that come with it, along with additional online practice exams I purchased separately. All this cost a fraction of the price of a formal ITIL class.

The book and online courses cover the basis and in a format that makes it easy to access. I actually still refer to the material every now and then - especially the color PDF charts and diagrams downloadable from the online course.

Overall, there is nothing thrilling or incredibly exciting about this kit other that it works, and it is an incredible value compared to other options.

Outstanding Tool, September 9, 2008

By	William R. O’connell “reluctant critic” (New York)

The tool combined with the online course and quizzes completely prepared me to take and pass the certification exam.

The book and online course complemented each other remarkably and I felt that I really grasped the subject matter thoroughly and quickly. Lastly, the sample test was also really valuable.

Read the book, took the online course and test, PASSED and here’s my review, June 26, 2008

By	James Boyer “James” (New York)

This ITIL exam prep book and course are an invaluable study aid for passing the ITIL Foundation exam. Highly recommended.

I’ve been an IS project manager for over 10 years. I’ve studied ITIL materials in preparation, but took no courses or workshops. I studied this book and its accompanying course for 10 days immediately preceeding my exam. Read the book about 3 times.

I took the ITIL Foundation exam and got 98% of the question correct. I think that the study tips in the book and course helped me get about 15-20 questions right that I might have otherwise missed. (your mileage may vary). About half of the questions I missed were due to the test’s wording which is tricky.

The book and course made me confident in sitting the exam, and is the best such book that I’ve come across.

Expensive, but worth it especially since your have access to the online learning component and exam prep as well.

Good focus on ITIL’s processes (things important to ITIL Foundation and passing the test that your experience in IT may not help you)

Highly recommended, I passed in one go!

Good luck!
