Clarification on ServiceNow Data Foundations Certification

[AkhilaPajjuri]

Hi ,

I currently hold CIS-ITSM, CAD, and CSA certifications. I recently heard about the ServiceNow Data Foundations (CMDB & CSDM) certification and wanted to understand the eligibility criteria.

Is it mandatory for those who already have CIS-ITSM to complete this certification? Also, will existing certifications expire if this exam is not completed?

Any guidance would be helpful.

Hi @AkhilaPajjuri 

• Yes, it is mandatory. There are 7 certificates that will expire if you do not complete the DF certificate in time.

Hi Akhila,

YEs it is mandatory and a pre requisite for CIS exams/certs.

If you don't do it it wont impact your CSA and CAD but CIS will lapse eventuially.

Also, it is free to do before end of this year.
