Hi @YoussefB9120071 ,

If it is ServiceNow related role, they tend to ask for some sort of ServiceNow Certification but this is solely depending on the company. I'm sure relevant or related cert can help too.

Mainline certs are industry-recognised and validate your skills through proctored exams. University courses are great for learning but aren't formal qualifications on their own.

Need to probably some foundation knowledge on the platform but being certified in at least one can open doors.

Hi @YoussefB9120071 

It depends on job opening. Recently seeing job opening in India where they mention CSA must to have or CSA/CAD/ one cis cert good to have. Mainline certification and micro certifications are recognized and considered usually but to achieve those certs it recommended to undergo ServiceNow courses related to it.

Here is the article i wrote for CSA/CAD certification tips along with links, you can go through it if you have time
