Course paths

[Mike88]

I'm currently looking at the courses and am a bit confused by the wording.

On the Implementer track it states, on Practitioner Implementer, "you are a Certified System Administrator (CSA) 
On the Associate Implementer course it ends with becoming "Becoming a  ServiceNow System Administrator (CSA)

However, there is also a completely separate career journey  for System Administrator.

Does this mean you have to complete the System Admin journey first then move onto the Implementer 
or
Can you do the implementer track and just have to complete the Associate first (you can't just jump ahead)

Hi
It helped but still left me with questions, it wasn't clear as to whether I needed to actually complete the System Administrator Career journey first or not. 

i understood that having the CSA is recommended however the CSA seems to be granted at the end of the first module of both journeys.

I however do appreciate the assistance

Hi @Mike88 

Appreciate the feedback.

Hi @Mike88 ,

You can pursue the ServiceNow Implementer track without first completing the Certified System Administrator (CSA) certification. While CSA is not mandatory, it is highly recommended as it provides foundational and basic knowledge of the ServiceNow platform, which can be beneficial for implementation roles in the future. The Associate Implementer course is designed for those who may not yet be CSA-certified, offering a pathway to become a ServiceNow System Administrator. Therefore, you can begin with the Implementer track and complete the Associate Implementer course before moving on to the CSA certification.
