Know which SAP certification is best for you
SAP certification, a buzz word to brand yourself and may be a piece of paper to boast. Neverthless, it is equally important to have relevant SAP certification along with your experience rich CV. There are many false believes prevalent about eligibility of doing SAP certification. I hear a lot of questuions like “I am a fresher, can I do SAP certification?” or “I am have experience in Oracle/SQL and also have done MCSE/Red hat certification, which SAP certification should I do?”
I will try to answer some of these questions with proper explaination.
SAP has grouped all hardware, server or database administration level task into one single umbrella called Basis. If you are a person who wants to do career in database administration or have work experience in DBA, then SAP Netweaver Technology Consultant certification is the right choice for you. This certification is also refered by SAP Netweaver Admin certification. This certification includes everything from installation, sizing, post installation activities, configurations, R/3 monitoring, Netweaver system monitoring and administration.
Do I need to have min. experience to do SAP Certification?
It is recommended to have some experience before you do SAP Certification. Though it is not mandetory but you can always take more for your money if you have experience in DBA or administration. However, if you do not have experience at all i.e. you are a fresh graduate, you cannot do certification without taking a certification track course from SAP. This means you need to enroll for SAP certification track training course at any of the SAP’s authorized training center like Siemens or Gennovate. Only after completion of training you would be allowed to take certification. If you have experience of 2 years in SAP then all you have to do is ask SAP communications team in your organization to get in touch with certification team. Forward your CV to SAP and get it approved. Then proceed to book a test slot and appear for exam. It’s that easy.
Will SAP certification give me quick placement?
No! is the answer. No doubt SAP certification is given due cerdit while shortlisting cadidates, but any organization would expect that as an SAP certified professional, you would possess some key skills, which comes only after certain experience. If you are a fresher and expecting to get a quick job after doing SAP certification then you are having a day dream. Obviously you would get preference, but nothing should be taken for granted.
I hope I have answered most common questions regarding SAP certification. If you have any doubt please leave a comment, I will certainly get back to you with answer.
i had given my final year final papers of B.E.(CSE) , now waiting for result. i m interested in SAP ABAP. so can u tell me as fresher it right or wrong for me to do SAP ABAP. but i don’t know much more about ABAP. Can u tell me also Exactly how companies are working abap ?
sir pl reply
Hey Bhanu,
There’s nothing wrong in learning ABAP being a fresher. ABAP is a Business application programming language. If you know SQL well, you will feel right at home while working with ABAP. There are SAP Std. tables which are populated with business data. All we have to do is work with them. But if you learn it from anywhere then It would be of no use. Companies don’t take fresher unless they have done a course at SAP followed by a certification. I hope that answers your question.
