Title

Competence or pieces of paper?

Presenter

Aidan Lawes
AL Services

About the Presentation

Employers are interested in competence, not just pieces of paper. However, the ITIL qualification doesn’t appear to be targeted in this way. In this session, Aidan tackles some of the issues that he sees with the current programme and why he believes it needs a rethink by the examination body and training organisations.
