How long are micro certifications valid?

[lmanager]

How long does a micro certification last? Is it recognized by companies?

Hi @lmanager

Whereas mainline certifications (CSA, CAD and CIS certs) need to be renewed once a year through the delta exam process, micro certs don't expire and don't need to be renewed.

If you are asking how useful micro certs are in helping to secure ServiceNow jobs: they are useful for showing you are an enthusiastic learner with an interest in the platform, but at the end of the day, employers are really looking for candidates with mainline certs (and experience).

@lmanager There is no specific expiration date associated with Micro Certification. However, it usually lasts till the associated courses are not expired. I completed few micro certifications in HRSD which are already expired as the courses associated with them have expired. Having Micro certifications are better than having no certifications. They validate your understanding of certain topics in front of the prospective employers.

Hi @lmanager ,

There is no expiration date for micro certifications. In general according to recognition by companies, it's more important to have experience than certifications. 

If my answer has helped with your question, please mark my answer as accepted solution and give a thumb up.
