ABAP Development Consultant Certification

Hi,

I am interested in obtaining the TAW12 / TAW12_04 SAP development consultant certification. So I called the education hotline to find out the details. Unfortunately, my company [which is one of the four large accounting firms] cannot afford to pay the $13,000 for me to take the two review courses [which last a total of 25 days] for the exam. Is SAP really successful in today's competitive marketplace in charging such a ludicrous amount for such a short course? I'm a bit surprised at the price tag.

Is there an alternative method for studying for this certification that is much, much cheaper?

thanks-

Kevin
