CSA is transferring to AI system administrator?
I was preparing for the CSA exam, and I have a business development background, a non-IT background. I completed the ServiceNow System Administrator Fundamental course here in ServiceNow University. I got a basic idea. Now I'm confused: is this CSA changed with AI System Administrator?

Sorry, I don't agree with you, because I personally feel that I need to have that concept clear. I need to dirty my hands with the system and the PDI to become the great admin, so CSA I have to go through. I'm not a fresher or new to the industry. I have more than 15 years of experience in operations, business development, and talent acquisition. Sorry, I don't agree with you, because I personally feel that I need to have that concept clear.

That's great @SubrataA, this is not agreeing or disagreeing with me :))) it's designed by ServiceNow. if you don't like it then it's cool but you want to succeed in a dynamic platform and at the same time you reject the official recommendations from that very platform... then there's not much chance to help you. Also, how many of the classes you took before disagreeing with me ;))
If you want to get "your hands dirty", then you might want to try the learning plans as seen below. The CSA is to give you basic understanding of the platform, passing it doesn't give you special powers or super skills... that's why I tried to explain to you that CSA is not prerequisite, there are tons of resources that can be taken prior to regardless the number of year of experience.
Learning Plans at the Developer Portal
- Request your Personal Developer Instance (PDI), your own ServiceNow sandbox to practice safely.
- You can try almost everything for free (except a few advanced features like AI).
- Explore guides, tutorials, blogs, and documentation to learn more.
- Short and self-paced modules.
- Best practices, references,

Hello @SubrataA ,
for csa exam :
Start reading Servicenow CSA E-book , you will get your e-book from fundamental course .
Most of the time, people get bored reading such a big eBook. However, it is very helpful for the exam. If you have already gone through the concepts in the eBook, and the same topics appear in the exam, you can quickly recognize that those questions are from specific sections.
So, don’t ignore the eBook—try to complete it.
The most important parts of the eBook are the last sections, such as Security Center, Shared Responsibility Model, and ServiceNow Encryption. These sections are often overlooked, but based on personal experience, around 4–5 questions can come from them.
Also, most of the theory and concepts in the eBook are already covered in ServiceNow prerequisite courses, so it becomes easier to revise quickly.
CSA exam blueprint you can refer from here :
Also refer this(CRAM flashcards which helps most ) :
If this helps you then mark it as helpful and accept as solution.
Regards,
Aditya

Yes, Aditya, you are right. I already completed that course. Apart from that course, I've been learning more and getting my concepts cleared from Udemy and a couple of other sources. The more I practice and go through the courses, it will be helpful for me. Finally, I'm going to sit for the CS exam very soon, maybe at the end of July. I need one month. That is the good prerequisite. I already have that ebook. Yes, Aditya, you are right. I already completed that course.
