The IT Service Management (Open Source) course by Open Source is designed to equip IT professionals with comprehensive skills in deploying and managing a fully functional, self-hosted ITSM platform using FreeITSM, an open-source solution aligned with ISO/IEC 20000 standards. This course prepares learners for the EXIN IT Service Management Foundation based on ISO/IEC 20000:2018 certification, a globally recognized credential validating core competencies in service management systems and processes. Targeted at roles such as IT Service Managers, Incident Managers, and Service Desk Analysts, the course addresses a growing industry demand—over 70% of organizations now prioritize ISO-compliant ITSM tools to standardize service delivery and ensure regulatory alignment. Participants gain foundational knowledge in service lifecycle management, including service design, incident resolution, change control, and continual improvement, all within a vendor-neutral, cost-free framework.
Learners engage with a robust suite of open-source technologies and tools, including FreeITSM’s 22 integrated modules such as Tickets, CMDB, Change Management, Problem Management, Workflows, and a Self-Service Portal, all running on a PHP + MySQL stack via Docker. The hands-on lab environment centers on Docker-based deployment, where students build, configure, and secure a complete FreeITSM instance from scratch, following real-world installation guides and system hardening practices. A key project involves setting up an OpenID Connect identity provider using Keycloak in Docker and integrating it with FreeITSM to enable single sign-on, simulating enterprise-grade authentication workflows. Students also configure cross-module automations using the visual Workflows canvas, connect email and chat channels to ticketing, and generate AI-assisted root cause analyses, ensuring practical mastery of end-to-end service operations in a self-hosted environment.
