This ServiceNow CSM course online walks you through the full customer service lifecycle on the Now Platform – accounts, contacts, cases, SLAs, and entitlements – and how CSM connects to Field Service Management and ITSM. You will configure the Agent Workspace, build routing and assignment rules, set up communication channels, and work with Now Assist and Predictive Intelligence. Two hands-on projects mirror real CSM implementations, so you finish with practical, portfolio-ready experience rather than theory alone.
Prerequisites
- Basic understanding of customer service or IT service management concepts is helpful but not mandatory.
- Familiarity with ServiceNow Certified System Administrator (CSA)-level concepts is recommended before attempting the CIS-CSM exam.
- No prior coding experience is required; light exposure to JavaScript helps with the advanced scripting topics.
- A free ServiceNow Personal Developer Instance (PDI) is needed for labs – kodestree walks you through setup in session one.
