Pink’s ITIL Experts Are The Best In The Business! 

That's what our customers keep telling us. We agree…

We’re proud to boast a 94% customer satisfaction rating! Read the customer feedback below to see just some of the many testimonials that contribute to these great results.

Why is Pink’s team the best?

Here are just a few reasons:  

  • All of Pink’s consultants are ITIL certified to “ITIL Expert” level – the highest qualification
  • We are fully committed to continual service improvement – many internal management and business processes have been implemented to measure customer feedback, evaluate individual results, and track exam pass results. Throughout the year, these processes regularly feed into ongoing improvements to all delivery processes including courseware and consultants’ personal development      
  • Because of Pink’s 20 years of ITIL experience, we have very mature train-the-trainer programs in place that produce highly qualified course facilitators

Anil Dissanayake

Anil uses his 20 years of business and IT senior management experience, which he gained working for a variety of industries, to deliver management level ITIL courses.  Anil is also co-author of the publication: Service Management Strategies That Work. Senior managers who attend his courses really appreciate his very generous and kind training style, and his strategic perspective and hands-on IT executive experience. 

“Anil is a fabulous instructor. He has a way of injecting just enough fun to keep the classroom lively, but not distracting from the learning experience. He is one of the best instructors I've encountered!” 

“Anil is a very talented and gifted instructor.  This is the second class I've taken with him… I learn a lot and appreciate his style of bringing real life examples to the material and the way he presents the material.  I always learn a ton!” 

“I've participated in many training programs.  I believe Anil is one of the best instructors I've ever had.  He is very knowledgeable and patient.  He is able to explain complex concepts in an easy to understand manner.  His time management of the class meant that we covered and understood everything while still having time in the day to get other work done.”


  Kerry Gilmore

This past year, Kerry has successfully facilitated several ITIL courses that have resulted in “perfect pass results”. A very passionate educator and articulate presenter, Kerry uses his 20 years of IT experience, together with very easy to understand practical examples, to create a highly meaningful learning experience for course attendees.

“Very helpful and knowledgeable. Questions were always welcome, and excellent, good clear answers were always provided.”


Victor Mack

With over 25 years of IT experience, Victor has seen it all and willingly shares his meaningful experiences with course attendees.  His ability to turn ITIL concepts into practical examples and interesting stories makes his classes very enjoyable. As a result, Victor’s courses are always rated very highly. 

“I can honestly say that the instructor (Victor) was one of the best I have ever had. He used examples, and I felt like I totally understood what he was discussing. I found I had a lot of difficulties in the foundations course, and was very anxious about taking this next course. But he put all my anxieties aside, and I felt like I understood everything. He was excellent and I hope that my next course is with him as well. He will definitely be a tough act to follow. Great instructor.”

“The instructor brought in real life experience and facilitated discussion as it applied to the course material and our organization. Best ITIL instructor to date.” 

“Our instructor, Victor Mack, did an outstanding job of presenting the material, encouraging discussion, keeping things on track and explaining sometimes complex concepts.”

“Zahra made the course relevant and interesting.  Her skills as a presenter, as well as her incredible knowledge of the material, were fantastic.”


Terry Sherman

When Terry was in college majoring in musical theater, working in IT was the furthest thing from his mind. He wanted to be Andrew Loyd Webber, not Bill Gates. And today, we’re all lucky that fate had a different plan! Terry uses his theatrical and musical background to create a truly inspiring and interesting learning environment for course attendees. Sitting through 5 days of intense material can be challenging, but Terry is able to keep people very motivated throughout.

“Terry is a gifted instructor.  He managed to make the subject of ITIL come alive!” 

“Very engaged, extremely well prepared. Creative with regards to how to best transfer knowledge to students and prepare for the exam.”

Jennifer Wels

Jennifer’s 12 years of ITIL experience is very evident. She has seen it all – the good, the bad and yes – even the ugly! And, she doesn’t hesitate to share honest war stories from her case book with her course attendees. Jennifer is valued for her very powerful training skills and her engaging delivery style.
