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.

SAP Certification Levels and Solutions - SAP Jobs

Contributed by Bobby Bryant

There are very a few Certification credentials in business, which hold the identical value and prestige as SAP Certification. Say you wish to accomplish SAP Certification, you have to hone your skills, either through tight study or particular industry experience. You will have to present your powers with SAP, by going demanding, process-oriented examinations that consist of practical questions. Say you pass the examination, you will get a globally recognised SAP Certificate. Whether you are a SAP partner, client, or user, SAP Certification offers you with a competitive advantage.

In 1999 SAP started out their training programmes for professional people who were neither clients nor partners. This opened up a whole new world of top-rated educating and certification programs at SAP centers around the globe. These training programmes can be very overpriced, all the same, and require up to three wks to gain a big understanding of a unique module or subject. Say you have time and can spend cash, you can register for 1 of SAPs five-week crash classes in 1 of the following regions : FI/CO, MM/SD, and HR/ABAP. You can accomplish SAP Certification after appearing and passing an examination in your opted field.

As a Professional aspiring towards SAP Certification, you should be conscious that there are three Certification Levels for SAP Certification Associate, Professional, and Master. For the Associate and Professional levels, there are multi tier certifications open for SAP CRM 2005. There are also 3 Focus arenas for SAP Certification - Application, Technology, and Development. They have been designed to serve you in acquiring the right SAP certification. All three SAP certification levels practice to the 3 Focus arenas. You can take on SAP Certification for whatever of the 3 Focus regions -

Application level certification The Application level certification is achievable for a number of SAP solutions. You can come along for the Application level certification exam after completing the required course and case - study, or equivalent SAP class curriculum. Say you have large experience in implementing SAP solutions, you can appear for the exam without going through the course.

Technology level certification For this certification, you must accomplished the SAP solution academy course or SAP training course. You can then come along for the Technology level certification exam and accomplish SAP certification. If you already have extensive experience with SAP, you can appear for the test without going through the course.

Development level certification The Development level certification is for individuals and masters who prepare applications for SAP answers. For the Development level certification, you must complete the necessary academy/SAP class and come along for the testing and become a SAP certified developer.

To prepare for the Examinations is different story altogether. Each and every one of the SAP certifications has its own set of preparation methods. You can learn more from the online data ready on the various SAP certification. You can also consult the result academy or a SAP certified pro on examination preparation. There are zero prerequisites to appear for a SAP certification examination. For illustration, it is not a requirement to complete a SAP Associate level test to qualify for a SAP Professional level examination, and the SAP course is recommended, but it is not a requirement.
