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 :

(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.
