ServiceNow Fundamentals [Most wanted] (Exam included)

During ServiceNow Fundamentals, participants learn about many topics and interact with various applications by navigating the platform and applying their newly acquired knowledge. ServiceNow Fundamentals is a three-day course taught both as Instructor-Led Training (ILT) and Virtual Instructor-Led Training (VILT). Extensive hands-on exercises are included with each course module to reinforce the lecture concepts and provide practical experience. Exercises are performed in a personal dedicated training instance.
