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,

Hi Mark,

Thanks for clearing up all the questions. Also, I have a question. I can see 2 mandatory courses in the CAD learning path "Application Development Fundamentals" and "Scripting in ServiceNow Fundamentals", each costs 500$ which will be 1000$ and 300$ for exam. So is it mandatory to complete all these? I am bit confused, what all courses I need to complete to get a CAD exam voucher can you please share the links?

Hi @parsip 

 

Currently CSA is only discounted certification available in India not other certs.

 

You need to pay the full amount buddy.
