Hello @sunildshiva 

Go to https://nowlearning.servicenow.com/lxp/en/pages/servicenow

and check for implementation courses and their learning paths.

You have to complete any course that gives voucher for taking the exam.

for SAM:

for HAM:

https://nowlearning.servicenow.com/lxp/en/it-asset-management/hardware-asset-management-ham-fundamen...

https://nowlearning.servicenow.com/lxp/en/it-asset-management/it-asset-management-itam-hardware-asse...

 

 

for your profile, in my opinion having CSA, HAM&SAM certifications suits better. If you want to learn more on ITSM (Incident, Problem and Change etc) side of the platform, you can also complete CIS ITSM. that adds a good value to your profile.

Please mark the answer as helpful and correct if helped.

Kind Regards,

Hi @sunildshiva 

 

1. Do I need to take CSA Ceritifaction or can I directly take CIS - PA Ceritifaction ?

Atul: You can take it PA directly, but CSA is good to go first, as by this you will learn about platform.


2. Since I take care of HAM & SAM Do I need to take CIS ITSM as overall or should I must take CIS - HAM & CIS - SAM ?& What is the prerequisite for to take up this exam? is CSA Mandatory?

3. For my profile which Certification holds good. Please help...

Atul: It depends what is your experience. GRC/ SecOps has a demand in market.

Your primary focus should be on CIS-HAM and CIS-SAM. Also nowlearning on-demand courses like CMDB fundamentals and CSDM fundamentals will be useful. As HAM, SAM and CMDB are all process-heavy areas, it'll be useful to go through process guides and other artifacts related to these topics available on Nowcreate.

HI @sunildshiva 

 

First of all, CIS-PA is not linked with the SAM/HAM module.

 

You can take CIS - PA without CSA, But CSA is good to have before any certifications.

 

If you are good in HAM/SAM, try to give CSA and then CIS HAM/SAM.
