    Frequently Asked QuestionsHere's everything you may ask...

    EXIN SIAM Foundation is the entry-level certification in the EXIN SIAM scheme, validating your understanding of Service Integration and Management in multi-supplier environments. It covers SIAM concepts, structures, roles, processes, practices and governance, and is awarded by EXIN, a globally recognised examination institute.

    General

    What is the EXIN SIAM Foundation certification?

    EXIN SIAM Foundation is the entry-level certification in the EXIN SIAM scheme, validating your understanding of Service Integration and Management in multi-supplier environments. It covers SIAM concepts, structures, roles, processes, practices and governance, and is awarded by EXIN, a globally recognised examination institute.

    What is SIAM and why does it matter in Hong Kong?

    Service Integration and Management (SIAM) is a methodology for coordinating multiple service providers that deliver IT services to one organisation. It introduces a service integrator layer that owns end-to-end delivery. In Hong Kong's heavily outsourced banking, telecom and government IT, that governance capability is in strong demand.

    Is SIAM Foundation worth it for ITSM professionals?

    Yes. As Hong Kong enterprises source IT from many suppliers, professionals who can integrate and govern that ecosystem stand out. SIAM Foundation supports roles from service delivery management to service integration leadership, with service delivery managers reaching around HK$772,500 mid-career.

    Do I need prerequisites to take SIAM Foundation?

    No. EXIN SIAM Foundation has no formal prerequisites and is open to all. Familiarity with basic ITSM concepts, such as from ITIL Foundation, is helpful but not required, which makes it accessible to professionals moving into multi-supplier and sourcing roles.

    How long is the SIAM Foundation certification valid?

    The certification is valid for lifetime. It does not expire and requires no renewal, re-examination or continuing education, so once you pass the EXIN exam the credential stays with you throughout your career.

    How does SIAM Foundation relate to ITIL?

    SIAM and ITIL are complementary. ITIL provides the service management process framework, while SIAM adds the multi-supplier integration and governance layer on top. ITIL knowledge is beneficial before studying SIAM but is not a formal prerequisite, and many practitioners hold both.

    Pricing

    How much does SIAM Foundation training cost in Hong Kong?

    Pricing depends on the format and schedule you choose, and current fees are available on request. The course fee and the EXIN exam are billed separately. Talk to a learning advisor for an up-to-date quote for classroom or live virtual training in Hong Kong.

    What is included in the course fee?

    The training fee typically includes EXIN-aligned courseware, all seven topic areas, practice questions, mock exams, trainer-led sessions and learner support. Confirm whether the EXIN exam voucher is bundled with your package when you request a quote.

    Is the EXIN exam fee included in the training price?

    It depends on the package. EXIN exam pricing varies by region and purchasing channel and is often bundled with accredited training. We can confirm whether the exam voucher is included in your chosen option. Request a quote for the full breakdown.

    Do you offer corporate or group discounts?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for ITSM, operations and sourcing teams. Ask about corporate or group pricing for a tailored quote for your Hong Kong team.

    What payment options are available?

    We accept major credit and debit cards and bank transfers, with instalment options on selected plans. Speak with a learning advisor to choose the payment option that suits you or your organisation.

    Exam

    What is the format of the EXIN SIAM Foundation exam?

    The exam has 40 single-answer multiple-choice questions to be completed in 60 minutes. It is closed book and can be taken through EXIN online proctoring or at an accredited test location, usually arranged as part of an accredited training and exam package.

    What is the passing score for the SIAM Foundation exam?

    The passing score is 65%, which means answering at least 26 of the 40 questions correctly. The course includes practice questions and mock exams to help you reach that mark with confidence.

    What topics does the SIAM Foundation exam cover?

    The exam covers seven topic areas: Introduction to SIAM, the SIAM Implementation Roadmap, Roles and Responsibilities, SIAM Practices, Processes to Support SIAM, SIAM Challenges and Risks, and SIAM and Other Practices, per the EXIN SIAM Foundation Examination Specification.

    Where can I take the SIAM Foundation exam?

    You can take it online through EXIN's proctored exam system from home or the office, or at an EXIN accredited test location. The exam is typically booked through an accredited training provider as part of a training and exam bundle.

    What if I do not pass the first time?

    You can re-sit the EXIN exam. The exact re-sit policy and any fees vary by channel, so we help you confirm current EXIN terms and prepare with additional practice questions and revision support before you book again.

    Which standard is the SIAM Foundation exam based on?

    The exam is based on the EXIN SIAM Foundation Examination Specification, which aligns to the SIAM Body of Knowledge published by Scopism. The courseware is mapped to this current standard so your preparation matches what the exam tests.

    Course Content

    What will I learn in the SIAM Foundation course?

    You will learn how to integrate and govern multiple service providers, including SIAM concepts and the ecosystem, the implementation roadmap, roles and responsibilities, practices, cross-provider processes, and how SIAM relates to ITIL, COBIT, ISO/IEC 20000, Agile and DevOps.

    Can a beginner take this course?

    Yes. There are no prerequisites, so beginners are welcome. Basic ITSM familiarity, such as from ITIL Foundation, helps but is not required. The trainer builds concepts from first principles and supports you with practical examples throughout.

    Are practice tests and mock exams included?

    Yes. The programme includes practice questions and full mock exams mapped to the 40-question EXIN format. These help you identify weak areas, get used to the question style, and build readiness for the closed-book exam.

    Is the courseware aligned with the current SIAM standard?

    Yes. The courseware is aligned to the EXIN SIAM Foundation Examination Specification and the SIAM Body of Knowledge published by Scopism, so what you study reflects the current examinable content.

    Will I receive a certificate after the training?

    You receive a course completion certificate after finishing the training. On passing the EXIN exam, you earn the official EXIN SIAM Foundation certificate and digital badge, plus a listing in the EXIN registry, valid for lifetime.
