SAP HCM Certification Dilemma

[Former Member]

Hi Member,

Need help in understanding SAP certification alternatives.

In my previous discussion I have shared details about my candidature here is the link: SAP HCM Key Topics

Just a brief - I am currently associated with a company which is SAP Gold partner, and I am taking care of

Recruitment. Have finished SAP HCM training from an institute in Hyderabad.

Now, I am bit confident to move in SAP HCM, and my management is suggesting to go for Certification to get

intra-department transfer.

Quiet confused how to move ahead.. If I go by any authorized institute they will charge around 3 L what I have

heard. Spending such big amount is difficult for me.

Did some ground work & I am thinking to write C_THR12_66.

Please suggest what are the alternate ways for certification. Which institute is providing best training in

Hyderabad. and most importantly course fee.. if any idea you have.

Hoping for early & positive response.

Thanks.

Hi Priya,

I suggest you acquire "SAP configuration skills first" (There are lot of local institutes the cost would be around 30k) & try to get into some SAP HR role in your current organization even as an End User/ Super User would be fine way to start..

This make you understand SAP HCM even better & you will be more confident...

& finally go for Certification......(i.e by investing the 3 or 4 Lac)

Remember :-

• Getting SAP certified is not important thing.... what matters is getting SAP Consulting role .

• Simultaneously, look out for opportunities as within your organization a team member in SAP team.. Even a small role will do.....

• Try to get into any END User role as an extra responsibility with your current HR Role in your organization. & get used to SAP environment & then go for certification....
