    What Is the EXIN VeriSM Foundation Certification?Your Entry into Digital Service Management

    The VeriSM Foundation (VeriSM-F) is an entry-level certification that validates your understanding of VeriSM, a service management approach built for the digital age.

As Botswana accelerates its National Digital Transformation Strategy and organisations across banking, telecoms and government modernise service delivery, professionals who can shape service management for a digital-first economy are in growing demand.
