    Who should take SIAM Foundation training?

    If you do not pass first time, you can resit the EXIN exam. Re-sit fees and policy vary by region, so confirm the current terms with EXIN. Our training includes practice questions and mock exams to prepare you thoroughly, and our team can guide you on rebooking.

    What is the format of the SIAM Foundation exam?

    The EXIN SIAM Foundation exam is closed book with single-answer, multiple-choice questions. It is delivered online with EXIN proctoring or at an accredited test location, and is usually arranged through an accredited training provider.

    What is the passing score for the SIAM Foundation exam?

    You can take the exam online through EXIN's proctored exam system, or at an EXIN accredited testing location. It is typically arranged as part of a training and exam bundle through an accredited training provider.

    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 (SIAM BoK) published by Scopism. It covers seven topic areas, from SIAM concepts and roles to processes, challenges and related frameworks.

    Course Content

    Can a beginner take SIAM Foundation training?

    Yes. SIAM Foundation is an entry-level course with no prerequisites, designed to take beginners from the basics of service integration to exam readiness. Basic ITSM familiarity helps, but the training builds every concept from the ground up.

    What topics does the SIAM Foundation course cover?

    The course covers seven topic areas: an introduction to SIAM, the implementation roadmap, roles and responsibilities, SIAM practices, supporting processes, challenges and risks, and how SIAM works with other frameworks such as ITIL, COBIT and Agile.

    What learning materials are provided?

    You receive EXIN-aligned courseware, references to the SIAM Body of Knowledge, practice questions, mock exams and topic-wise revision aids. Materials map directly to the EXIN SIAM Foundation Examination Specification.

    Are practice tests and mock exams included?

    Yes. The programme includes practice questions and full-length mock exams that mirror the 40-question, 60-minute EXIN format, helping you identify weak areas and build confidence before the real exam.

    Is the courseware aligned with the current EXIN specification?

    Yes. The courseware is aligned to the current EXIN SIAM Foundation Examination Specification and the Scopism SIAM Body of Knowledge, so you study exactly what the exam assesses.
