SAP Certification Exams
Some certifications are available through the SAP Certification in the Cloud program. For an
annual subscription of $550, candidates may take up to six exams in a 12-month period. (To
understand the significance of this deal, the Certification in the Cloud fee is roughly equivalent
to the cost of one exam when taken through a physical testing center.) For those seeking
multiple certs, it's worth taking the time to review what certs are available through the Cloud
program.

Before you take your SAP certification exam, work through the following six steps that will get
you prepared and more likely to pass:
Step 1: Decide if you need SAP certification
No kidding! Make sure that you understand the benefits of SAP certification. A lot of people in
the SAP community consider practical SAP experience as the most important factor when hiring
a new SAP consultant. From their opinion, SAP certification does not hold much value. Of
course, this is not true but you should still be aware of the fact that the value of SAP certification
is a controversial topic. Luckily, we wrote several articles that may help you to make up your
mind:
Step 2: Choose the Right Level of Certification for You
Two types of certification exam exist: professional or associate. Certification at the professional
level indicates you have advanced experience with projects and a more in depth knowledge of
SAP solutions. Associate level certification is available for people with no or little experience.
The exam sites list all relevant training courses an interested person may want to take before
taking the certification exams. SAP Education’s professional packages can help people with
real-world experience and those who are already certified at the associate level. These
packages let you work at your own pace while you go after certification upgrades or renewal.
You may also find this article useful in deciding which type of training is best for you:
Under the Certification Details in each exam, SAP Education gives a list of sample questions
that can help you study. These questions appeared on past tests and give a great indication of
the subjects and varieties of questions you can find on current tests. In addition to this, we
provide excellent sets of questions with answers and explanations for various SAP certifications.
We have both free and premium preparation material. Here are some of our offerings:
