    Do I need any prerequisites for SIAM Foundation?

    No. EXIN SIAM Foundation has no formal prerequisites and is open to all. Familiarity with basic ITSM concepts, such as ITIL Foundation, is helpful but not required, which makes it accessible whatever your IT service management background.

    How long is the SIAM Foundation certification valid?

    The SIAM Foundation certification is valid for life. It does not expire, and there is no renewal, re-examination or continuing-education requirement once you have passed the EXIN exam.

    Pricing

    How much does SIAM Foundation training cost in Saudi Arabia?

    Training is typically offered as a combined course-and-exam package, and the fee varies by format and schedule. It usually covers accredited courseware, practice questions and exam preparation. For current pricing in your preferred format, request a quote or speak with a learning advisor.

    What is included in the SIAM Foundation course fee?

    The exam has 40 multiple-choice questions and a duration of 60 minutes (1 hour). It is a closed-book examination delivered online through EXIN's proctored system or at an accredited testing location.

    What is the passing score for the SIAM Foundation exam?

    The passing score is 65%, meaning you must answer at least 26 of the 40 questions correctly. Structured preparation and mock tests help you build confidence across all seven topic areas before exam day.
