Free ITIL v3 Videos

SA,
        As the title indicates, this post is about a comprehensive set of ITIL v3 videos that covers many  of the ITIL v3 Framework topics, My goal in this post is to provide ITIL practitioners and learners a well organized and structured set of videos that covers most of the ITIL content in logical sequence and act as a video reference library for you, It is meant to help people who can't afford to purchase the expensive set of ITIL books or don't have time to read them to get a good understanding of ITIL v3

Most busy IT people prefer videos because they are more appealing to use for learning and cover the subject in maximum 10 minutes that you need to cover in one or few hours, but of-course it will not give the full details that you can get from reading the ITIL Books

This is a live post that is updated frequently to add more content and re-structure the post to be more organized, accurate and redundant free

Most of the videos are taken from the presentations at Charles Sturt University and presented by Marco Cattaneo, You will like listening to this guy a lot, he has a very good presentation skills accompanied with some nice sense of humor, Other videos are from different places that I've encountered during my research over the internet studying ITIL, I've separated them into different section under each topic just to avoid you losing the track of the main course of Marco Cattaneo

Note: Some videos content are duplicated in Marco Cattaneo videos in the Basic Concepts and the Processes Videos, Most of them deal with explaining the basic concept, I didn't remove the duplicates so I can cover two types or readers; the basic concepts reader and the process explanation reader to ensure that this one didn't miss the basic concepts, If you are going to read both, then you may skip the basic concepts topics in the process explanation links (e.g. CI, CMS ... etc.)
