 Fusion 2012 Wrap Up

To those of you who were able to join us at FUSION12, it was great seeing you all!  And for those of you who were not able to attend, we've put together our Annual Wrap Up

 

The team each contributed conference highlights, which we've mixed all together and voila - it's the ITSM Academy TOP11 of FUSION12.

ITSM Academy Alumni - Virtual Classes
When our primary Examination Institute, LCS, first announced the proctoring service via web cam, some of us here at the Academy were NOT fans of the idea.  We worried about it being a "big eye" staring at us while we took the exam.  Then we tested it, and we loved it!  This quote from the LCS website kind of says it all....   

 

Couple that great testing experience with the reaction we've received from our virtual class alumni: "The quality of the instruction and interaction in my virtual Service Strategy class was fantastic. The virtual environment ended up being so convenient, such a cost and time savings, that even if this class had been offered next door to me, I would have elected virtual. I will definitely recommend ITSM Academy to others."

 

And you have a powerful, cost effective, learning experience.  I'm so glad we live in the future!  Learn more about our virtual classes.
