CSA Delta Exam Without CMP Fee – Urgent Guidance Needed

[begumbhanu3]

Hi everyone,

I hope you are doing well.

I have an important question regarding the CSA Delta exam. Currently, I am not working in any company, but I want to maintain my CSA certification as it is very important for my career.

Is there any possibility to take the CSA Delta exam without paying the Certification Maintenance Program (CMP) fee? Are there any exceptions, discounts, or support options available for individuals who are not employed?

This is very important for me, and I would really appreciate any guidance or suggestions.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Hi @begumbhanu3 

There is no option to waive the CMP fee until and unless your organization is Partner company.

ServiceNow requires a mandatory annual Certification Maintenance Program (CMP) fee—typically USD 200 (plus tax)—for professionals holding mainline certifications. This fee is necessary to maintain certification status and to access delta exams.

Payment must be made through Now Learning using a credit card or company learning credits.

Please note that the deadline is April 16, 2026. Ensure that you complete the Delta Exam before this date.
