Hi everyone,
I just got accepted into the ServiceNow RiseUp cohort through the YES Program here in South Africa! My classes start this July. I am incredibly excited for this career breakthrough, but also quite nervous since I do not have a strong  IT background.
 
Could any past graduates or local professionals share their experience?
  • What are the mistakes you have done or accomplishments that you have done?
  • What specific study habits helped you pass the exams? ; Was the exam challenging? 
  • Is there anything I can start learning right now to prepare?
Thank you for any tips, I really want to give this my absolute best shot!

Hi, Congrats on your acceptance.

A strong IT background is only an added advantage but without it, you'll do just fine.  I'd say - go with the pace of the class, don't learn faster than your instructors so you won't be too overwhelmed. In the end, you'd have learnt a lot to be able to build a project for your portfolio.  I'm still yet to take my exams but from what I've seen/heard, the SNAF e-book (go over it again) and practice questions are just enough to pass the exams. 

For now, you can complete the 'Welcome to ServiceNow' course and related Micro-cert to get familiar with the platform. All the best.

Hi @AmogelangM 

My suggestion is that, along with this, spend some time reading more about cloud computing, SaaS, PaaS, ITIL processes, and a bit of JavaScript. Be more precise in these areas, as this will help you in upcoming sessions.
