A good course, May 14, 2011 Review by Dave Bremer
This was my first course on the Intermediate capabilities track. The course material is well written with good online presentations. I got a pass first time, by the skin of my teeth, but that's down to me not this course. All aspects of the syllabus were covered in the appropriate detail for the exam. I do recommend taking the exam-prep option. The exam format is quite different to foundation and does require more prep than you get in this course. Not content prep, but familiarity with the type of question used in Intermediate tests.
I did use some other study material. Most was unnecessary and redundant as this course book covered the same stuff to the same depth. But I do recommend that anyone taking this course also get their hands on the core ITIL books of Service Strategy and Service Design (at the very least) (Posted on 8/4/11) -
Great study help when preparing for the ITIL SOA exam, July 3, 2011 Review by Coastalgerman
I recently bought this course kit as part of a pathway offering to reach ITIL EXPERT. I found this guide extremly helpful, since the exam actually takes content out of two ITIL core publications, Service Strategy and Service Design. Thus, before I started reading this guide i really did not know where to start. This book then helped me to focus on what is exam relevant and aided significantly in my studies (Posted on 8/4/11)

The "Service Level Section" - SLA part of the book could be explained little bit more, but overall the is superb. 5 start for passing ITIL SOA exam. (Posted on 8/4/11)

Outstanding preparation course for certification Review by Ron Ellenberger
I consider three factors when evaluating learning programs – effective use of time, price and knowledge gained. After considering various options, I purchased the ITIL V3 SOA Certification Kit and I’m glad I did. It provided me with the content to pass the exam on my first attempt. What’s not covered in the online course is provided in the study guide, which is well written and will be a valuable resource for future needs. I am now taking the PPO course and plan on using these products towards Expert certification. (Posted on 8/20/10)
