-
Clear Progression Toward a Career Outcome. A Track offers a cohesive roadmap. Instead of randomly selecting certifications, you can follow a sequenced, job-aligned path—starting from foundational to advanced skills. This ensures that each course builds upon the previous one, leading to better retention and job readiness.
-
Motivation Through Milestones. Each completed and reimbursed course becomes a motivational checkpoint. You can see tangible progress, both financially (getting reimbursed) and professionally (gaining certifications), keeping you engaged over time.
-
Value in Commitment and Structure - Enrolling in a Track signals commitment to a longer-term goal, which may unlock priority access to training or mentors, additional support from advisors who track your progression, stackable credentials or digital badges tied to the full track.
-
Alignment with Reimbursement Policies - Even if you are reimbursed after each course, being enrolled in a Track ensures pre-approval for funding bodies (VA, workforce boards, etc.), easier tracking of eligibility and status, and full utilization of benefits (since some funding expires or has usage caps).
Project and IT Service Management Professional
Boost your career with our dual prep bundle for PMP and ITIL v4 Foundation. Master project planning, agile and risk management for PMP while learning ITIL’s core service management principles for a competitive edge.
About this bundle
The Project and IT Service Management Professional track is designed to equip learners with the methodologies and mindsets needed to lead technology projects and deliver high-quality IT services in today’s fast-paced digital environments. It unites two globally recognized frameworks: PMI’s Project Management Professional (PMP) and Axelos’ ITIL v4 Foundation, creating a powerful combination of strategic execution and operational excellence.
A Brief History of PMI
The Project Management Institute (PMI) was founded in 1969 to advance the profession of project management. PMI’s flagship certification, PMP, has become the industry standard for project leaders worldwide, recognized for its emphasis on time, scope, cost, and risk management across industries. PMI’s body of knowledge (PMBOK®) serves as a global benchmark for professional project practices.
A Brief History of ITIL
ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library) originated in the 1980s under the UK government’s Central Computer and Telecommunications Agency. Its purpose was to create standardized best practices for IT service delivery. Now governed by Axelos, ITIL has evolved through several versions. ITIL v4, released in 2019, aligns IT service management with modern Agile, DevOps, and Lean practices. Unlike earlier versions that focused on processes, ITIL v4 emphasizes value co-creation, flexibility, and continual improvement.
For learners unfamiliar with ITIL, this course provides a fresh, practical approach to understanding how IT organizations can deliver consistent value to customers, stakeholders, and internal teams.
