Comidoc verdict

The course provides a structured path into ServiceNow administration, focusing on core modules like Incident, Problem, and Change Management. It utilizes clear demonstrations to explain technical customizations such as Business Rules and UI Policies, making it an accessible starting point for those new to the platform.

However, the material shows notable aging. Recent signals indicate that the user interface has evolved significantly, creating friction when following along with current developer instances. Furthermore, several essential modern administrative tools are not addressed in the current curriculum.

This training is best suited for learners who want a conceptual overview of administrative basics, provided they understand that they will need to supplement the material with more recent documentation to prepare for current professional roles.
