I came in expecting a basic overview, but it delivered much more: questions match the exam-style, and explanations are straightforward and well-developed with sources that are up to date! Definitely a great choice for CMDB/Discovery professionals and for those preparing for the ServiceNow CIS Discovery exam who are seeking a clear progression from conceptual learning to practical implementation and, ultimately, successful exam completion.

This course was exactly what I needed to prepare for ServiceNow CIS – Discovery. The content is well-structured and easy to follow, and the instructor explains concepts clearly. The lessons on MID Server setup, credentials, Discovery schedules, and troubleshooting were especially valuable. I feel much more confident with Discovery now. Highly recommended for anyone studying for the certification or working with CMDB/Discovery in ServiceNow.
