Is CIS – Data Foundations (CMDB and CSDM) is Mandatory to take CIS SAM ?

[Balakrishna_ABK]

I have completed CIS SAM course and got voucher but when I am trying to schedule exam using NOW University it is showing CIS – Data Foundations (CMDB and CSDM) is prerequisite to complete.
Earlier it was not mandatory if I am not wrong.

Hi @Balakrishna_ABK !

Sorry this probably isn't what you want to hear, but yes, it's now mandatory.

The change has only come in this week. All the details are here:
