    What Is the EXIN SIAM Foundation Certification?Your Entry into Multi-Supplier Service Governance

    The EXIN SIAM Foundation (SIAM-F) certification is the entry-level credential that validates your understanding of Service Integration and Management, the discipline of governing multiple IT service providers as one coordinated, end-to-end service. Invensis Learning's SIAM Foundation certification training in Australia builds that knowledge and prepares you for the EXIN exam. Awarded by EXIN, an internationally recognised examination body operating in over 165 countries, the credential is based on the EXIN SIAM Foundation Examination Specification and the SIAM Body of Knowledge (SIAM BoK) published by Scopism. You explore the SIAM ecosystem, the three-layer model, the four service integrator sourcing options, roles, processes and governance across seven topic areas. There are no formal prerequisites, so the certification is open to ITSM professionals at every level, and an ITIL background is helpful but not required. The closed-book exam has 40 multiple-choice questions in 60 minutes with a 65% pass mark, and the credential is valid for life with no renewal. Start your SIAM journey with Invensis Learning and stand out in Australia's multi-supplier IT market.
