What if I'm NOT an IT Guy?

Contributed by Eli Griffin

A subscriber, Gary C., wrote this to me in an email and I thought I'll share it with you. If you're in the same shoes, you will find this useful.

Here is his question:

I am very keen to get into the SAP consultant career. However, my educational background is totally different from IT/computing.

I am a Master of Science degree holder majoring in industrial chemical science.

What are the career prospects available to me if I decide to take up a certification course?

-------------------------------------------------------

Answer: Well, you can join an SAP organization's trainees program and take it from there to grow your SAP career.

Alternatively, you can do a certification course directly with SAP. You need to contact the company for course details and costs.

With your certification, you can join any SAP organization as a junior consultant and grow from there.

I would recommended taking a look at UltimateSAP Training System if you're interested in learning about SAP or planning to take certification examinations in future

Career prospects are bright if you have the certification and the experience of handling at least two full cycles of implementation. You will be much in demand by SAP organizations.
