Working for a partner versus a customer will have varying degrees on the importance of obtaining and maintaining certifications. In speaking of terms of interviewing with ServiceNow customers, different organizations place different levels of importance on having certifications. That being said, if you have the time to study and take free Micro-certifications, or even some of the free mainline certifications in areas that you're interested in or want to grow into, it is never a waste of time, and will ultimately be important to you in your personal career growth. In the case that you're not applying for a job and are unsure if you should supplement your current job, more than likely you're going to be asked to explore or implement a new area of the platform, such as Automated Test Framework, and having the Micro-certification or training under your belt will make it a less painful process and provide more value to the company. In past experience on being on the other side of the interview table, where I was interviewing candidates, I did take certifications into account. Certifications did not make the decision on whether the candidate was qualified for the job, just that they were one indicator (there are others) that the candidate was willing to learn and spend their time challenging themselves in different areas of the platform. Deltas also ensure those candidates are keeping up to date on new areas of the platform. Hope this helps!

It wouldn't hurt to have them. It shows someone you took the time to get the certification. The ServiceNow market is HOT, having a microcert can be the difference when negotiation salary. IMO

Thanks @Miguel Donayre

One more thing most are free to take. If your plan is to get mainline certs, the Suite certification requires microcerts to get them. I have attached the latest FAQ that explains the Suite certification requirements.

Can you mark this as correct so that other users facing the same issues know that a solution can be found here?

THANKS!

Having any cert doesn't hurt but if you are looking for job in SN then I would recommend to get at least ServiceNow admin certification.
