Hi @patilharsha 

 

Just to add to what @Viraj Hudlikar  said, you can also follow the content created on Now Learning. That will help you understand the process and workflows more clearly, which is very useful for learning ITSM. As Viraj mentioned, online training on Now Learning is the fastest and most structured way to learn.

Hello @patilharsha ,

 

 

You can start with practicing in Servicenow PDI .  

 

When you start exploring ServiceNow PDI, begin with understanding the basic platform UI:

  • Application Navigator, Banner, Content Frame (UI16)

  • Explore Forms and List Views

  • Company Branding and changing the Welcome Page

  • Context Menu (what it is and its types)

  • Breadcrumbs and how they work

Next, move on to data modeling basics:

  • Table and Field creation

  • Table dependencies and Table Extensions

  • Field types

  • Views

  • Important OOTB tables like User (sys_user), Group (sys_user_group), Role (sys_user_role), Delegations

Once you are comfortable with this, explore core configuration concepts:

  • Reference Qualifiers

  • Dot-walking

  • UI Policies

  • Dictionary Overrides

  • ACLs

  • Priority Lookup

  • Difference between Configuration vs Customization

Then understand data movement and backup concepts:

  • Update Sets (how to take backup of your work)

  • Update Set transfer methods

  • Import Sets

After learning these basics, you can confidently move forward to explore Service Management modules like:

  • Incident

  • Problem

  • Change

  • Request

And then deep dive into the Development part.

 

Then  start with Certified System Administrator (CSA) – First & Mandatory

  • CSA is the basic and most important certification for ServiceNow beginners

  • It helps you understand how the ServiceNow platform works

Main topics to focus on:

  • Platform UI and navigation

  • Tables, fields, forms, and list views

  • Users, groups, and roles

  • Basic ITSM concepts

  • UI Policies, Client Scripts, and Business Rules (basic understanding)

Best practices:

  • Practice each topic in your Personal Developer Instance (PDI)

  • Do not just memorize answers—try to understand why a feature is used and when to use it

Once you follow this path, your ServiceNow learning journey will be smooth and structured 

 

 

Try to spend 2-3 hours daily  on community which will help you understand different real  time scenarios ,different approaches . Explore University Course which also enhance your knowledge.

Start with the "Welcome to ServiceNow " training, it's really good and it will gives you your first certificate!

The Certified System Administrator (CSA) certificate is initial stage , it's useful for almost for any servicenow role .
