Hello to all and I am hoping that someone can answer this question for me or lead in the right direction. I am currently going through the Application Developer Career Journey and I am very close to finishing the Associate portion of it. I wanted to know if I took and passed the CSA exam that is within this portion, would I then qualify for actual employment as an Application Developer or would I need to complete the additional two teers of the career path, Professional and Expert?

Hi @dominic_bai,
these paths as well as journey or credentials (shared below) are suggested by ServiceNow and it's more like a recommendation. It's to show you something that might be helpful for your role but there's no difference bewteen completing 17 % or 99 % of all of it...
As you asked for "being qualified for actual employement as a developer", it doesn't mean that who hasn't finished this cannot get a job as a developer and neither that everyone who finished will automatically get it.
It's definitely good to follow this but take it as a guidance, not a law.
You can combine these:
- System Admin
- App Developer
- Platform Owner
- Implementer
- Technical Project Manager
- Business Process Analyst
- Support Specialist
- App Specialist
- Architect
- Developer
- Implementer
- Pre-sales Expert
- Sales Expert
- System Admin
Together with: 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.
- New to ServiceNow
- Citizen Developer
- ServiceNow Administrator
- Learn admin skills to move into app development.
- Includes short self-paced modules.
Let me know if you have any further questions.

ServiceNow University learning journey is to enhance your knowledge & skills and does not guarantee actual employment. It depends on various factors viz., job requirements, interview process, number of qualified candidates applying for the job and candidate suitability among others.
I would recommend to enhance your skills and wait for the right job opening and give your best during interview process to land the job. I would recommend below learning journey if you aspire to be ServiceNow Developer and below is more of a reference.
Go through ServiceNow fundamentals on-demand course and get certified in ServiceNow CSA.
You can go through scripting and development concepts as it would help you with any ServiceNow modules that you would be working in future,
https://developer.servicenow.com/dev.do#!/learn/learning-plans/zurich
Make use of your PDI to full extent to practice what you learn as hands-on would be the most essential part of your learning phase
Register with ServiceNow University and go through course contents.
https://learning.servicenow.com/
Developer learning plans are easier to understand the modules compared to official documentation and would recommend to start learning in phases, start with New to ServiceNow and later ServiceNow Administration followed by ServiceNow Application Developer,
https://developer.servicenow.com/
Go through ITSM and Application Development Fundamentals on-demand courses and get certified in CIS-ITSM and CAD.
If you need any help, you can post in communities and experts can guide you. There are lots of YouTube videos available depending on your topic of interest and thousands of useful blogs available in ServiceNow communities. You can search in communities and YouTube and follow what suits your learning style the best.
If this helped to answer your query, please mark it helpful & accept the solution. As per community guidelines, you can accept more than one answer as accepted solution.
Thanks,
Bhuvan
