Can I write CAD exam without training?

parsip · ‎08-30-2024

Hi,

I can see the instructor class training costs 2700$. I am also unable to book the CAD exam without completing the training.

Could you let me know if I can write a direct exam paying 300 $?

Hi @parsip

For any ServiceNow mainline certs, training is mandatory which provides you voucher.

2 Ways to do training

On demand $500 and post that need to buy voucher cost approx $ 300.

Instructor led $2700 this includes voucher as well.

Hi there,

No, you cannot take any mainline exams without training, or actually you need a voucher. No voucher, no exam.

Also see this blog I wrote a few months ago:
- 2024-04-06 - Blog - 2024 exam vouchers, on demand/instructor led courses, exam/retake costs

If its just about the costs, then you could consider taking the on demand course.

Instructor led would be 2700 USD

On Demand would be 500 + 450 USD

+ in both cases tax.

Be aware, not 300 USD as multiple people are replying here, that's incorrect!

Kind regards,

Nope, as per my understanding you need to complete Training first as it is a prerequisite for CAD exam. Go for "on demand" training rather than Instructor led training if you can't afford.

If you are working with any company which is a partner of ServiceNow - your training and Certification will be free of cost. You need to access your company's partner portal for that.

Please appreciate my efforts, help and support extended to you by clicking on – “Accept as Solution”; button under my answer. It will motivate me to help others as well.

Hi,

In the SN learning path for CAD certification, I can see both "Application Development Fundamentals on Demand" and "Scripting in ServiceNow Fundamentals" and both charges 500$ each. So is it that I have to take both or as you said only 1 course worth 500$? If only one course, can you please share the link of that. It is very confusing to understand the path in learning portal.

Hi @parsip ,

As Nikhil mentioned you have to first complete the 'OnDemand' now learning course as per below screenshot.

No need to attend the instructor lead program & you can attend exam by paying $300. If your organization is partner of ServiceNow you can access partner portal access & you can access "OnDemand" course & exam voucher will be free of cost.
Please mark helpful & correct answer if it's really helpful for you.
