Posted on Saturday 10 December 2016. The Service Desk Institute produces internationally recognised standards for service desk and IT support professionals which set out clear definitions for the key service desk roles of Service Desk Manager and Service Desk Analyst. These internationally recognised standards provide the basis of SDI’s Service Desk Manager (SDM) and Service Desk Analyst (SDA) training courses and exams, managed by APMG International. Both lead to service desk qualifications that are recognised worldwide. Download the Service Desk Manager professional standard here. Share This Share This Page × Comments
