In focusing on technology service design and management, the course is well-aligned to developing a career in ServiceNow as a technology consultant, business or data analyst, project manager or developer.
The programme is designed to prepare learners to achieve Certified System Administrator status (with examination and certification included for those who are ready and wishing to complete this) and covers elements of ServiceNow from ITSM to advances in automation.
ServiceNow and NU London also partner on degree apprenticeship delivery, so there is a clear onward training pathway for any employees supported to complete the Skills Bootcamp. More information on our apprenticeship pathways is available here.
