Its cheaper than the 1500 which I agree is a complete waste of time and money. However the Serivce Support and Service Delivery exams are a lot tougher and you cannot sit the exam without doing the course. The couse was beneficial but in terms of preparation for the exams, you just have to knuckle down and be prepared to learn streams and streams of ITIL definitions. Regards, Ken Hi,
