progress in ones career. Let us look at how you can get appropriate SAP training, register
yourself for the exam, and prepare for it and what you need to do just before the test.
In terms of a brief introduction, SAP is an important enterprise resource management tool
that enables businesses to automate several organizational processes, such as
accounting, sales, financials, and logistics. SAP ABAP is one of the modules of SAP
which is used for financial accounting.
When you decide to become a certified SAP consultant and specialize in financial
accounting, you need to enrol yourself into an appropriate training course. Even though
you may have experience as a SAP consultant, you need to train yourself before taking
the certification test, because most of the questions in the test paper will usually come
from SAP training courses.
Once you have decided to certify as an SAP consultant, the next thing would be to decide
if you want to take a classroom based training or online web training. An advantage of
online training is that it works out cheaper and allows you to take it at your own pace and
convenience. On the other hand, if you take classroom training, you will have an instructor
and can clarify your doubts or ask questions then and there.
There are few things which you need to keep in mind before taking the test. First of all,
you need to make a reservation for the test. Usually it can be done online. However, if
you cannot do it online, you can call an SAP representative in your country and make a
reservation by phone. Alternatively, in some countries, SAP has a tie-up with educational
institutions such as Pearson VUE in the UK, which also conduct these exams.
Just before the exam, it is better to test your knowledge with sample questions that are
similar to those from SAP ABAP Certification. However, be aware that some websites
claim to offer sample questions, but most of them are spam and it is better to keep away
from them.
Most importantly, have a good nights sleep the day before the exam and arrive at the
test centre fifteen minutes earlier. On the day of your test, carry your valid ID and
