Want to get certified from SAP ?

Hi,

Recently I gave SAP certification exam and thought I will share about the procedure and eligibility for the certification which might be useful if you are planning for the same.

About Certification :
(i) There are 3 levels of certification Associate level, Professional level and Master level. At present I think you can take either associate level or professional level.

(ii) Certification can be done in any module. SAP has wide range of different module certification programs.

(iii) Effective 1st May the Certification price has been changed to INR 38605 (Associate level) and INR 55150 (Professional Level) inclusive of Taxes.

(iv) Technical people can take functional certification and functional can take technical certification.

(v) Every certification exam will have dedicated study materials and all the questions will come from the same material. No out of syllabus questions.


Eligibility :
(i) You should have spent minimum 1 year in the current organization for the eligibility

(ii) For Associate level, you should have nearly 2 years SAP experience with 2 implementation project (This can be varied time to time depend on the SAP India. Please contact SAP India for clear and latest policy)

(iii) For Professional level, you should have nearly 4 years of SAP experience with 4 implementation project (This can be varied time to time depend on the SAP India. Please contact SAP India for clear and latest policy)

 
Steps to apply :
(i) Prepare a detailed resume which should have your work experience (mention Implementation experience if any) and also version on which you are working.

(ii) Send your profile with cover letter to SAP India Private Limited. Contact No : 080-41154150.

(iii) If your profile is approved then you will get a approved mail and you need to submit following documents to the address which will be mentioned in the approve mail

1. Letter from your organization supporting your certification and employment on company letterhead (format is attached with the mail)
2. Print out of this approval mail( First sheet is sufficient).
3. DD favoring SAP India Pvt. Ltd., payable at Bangalore towards certification fee.
4. Consent form duly filled in - Attached in this mail (format is attached with the mail)
5. One passport size photograph.

(iv) This Certification Approval mail is Valid for 2 MONTHS only. So you will get 2 months time to get ready with all the documents and DD

(v) The organization letter format is attached with this mail and it should be in company letter head and with the signature of Practice head (for more information contact your people function representative or HR)

(vi) If your present employer is providing money for the certification then they might provide check not DD and company checks will be accepted from SAP India but if you are paying from your pocket then you need to get it done as DD.

(viii) After getting the approval mail from SAP India, You need to send check(if it is company sponsored) or DD, company letter and Consent form to the address which mentioned in the approve mail

(ix) After submitting the documents and check or DD you need to take the exam within 2 months of time failing which SAP will return your documents with your DD or check

(x) Certification dates will be shared only on receipt of documents.

(xi) Every month the representative from SAP India will send the certification schedule for different locations like Bangalore, Chennai, Kolkata, Mumbai and Delhi (they might increase or decrease the center also) and you can take up the exam on any date as you wish but within 2 months after submitting the documents.


Certification Exam :
Note : SAP India will keep on revising the certification rules. Please check in SDN or in SAP Education website for the latest update

(i) Certification exam will have 80 questions. No negative marking

(ii) 55% is passing marks for SAP HR functional certification. There might be difference in passing marks for other SAP certification (contact SAP India)

(iii) You will have multiple answers questions and no partial marking but in each questions there will be more than one correct answers. For example if one question has 3 correct answers out of 5 then you can find a note in the questions as ‘3 correct answers for this questions’

(iv) You might find fill in the blanks too.
