It’s no secret: Technology is changing faster than most businesses can manage. Well-trained talent is increasingly scarce, and digital skills gaps keep getting wider. To keep up with the ongoing changes in talent and technology, both learners and organizations need to be agile and adaptive to keep pace with the competition.   

At SAP, our mission is to create opportunity through learning and development for all. And with the need for fast and comprehensive upskilling, we are transforming our SAP Certification program, making continuous learning a priority. That way, you can always prove you’re up-to-date with the latest innovations. 

Here’s what this means for you: 

Get certified with trusted certifications, tailored to your role. 

Transforming our certification approach means making things easier for you. Demonstrate intermediate or advanced skills with out of over 80 globally recognized role- and product-based certifications across key SAP solution innovation areas. Focusing on the core skills and competencies, our role-based certifications, like this one for SAP S/4HANA Cloud implementation consultants, make your skillset more valuable as it gains sustainability and more relevance for longer periods of time.   
Good news: the enhanced SAP Learning Hub includes four certification exam attempts per subscriber per year and all learning resources to prepare for the certification exams. 
 

Stay certified and keep your skills up to date with the latest innovations. 

As a second step in our certification transformation, we are focusing on opportunities for you to keep your skills sharp. As of this April, certified learners need to continuously keep their skills up-to-date and certifications valid with evolving products by completing mandatory assessments before their certification expires. With an SAP Learning Hub subscription, you can prepare for and take the stay certified assessments at any time during the validity period of your certification. 

The standard validity of certifications is 12 months, with an initial validity end date of March 31, 2025. Every time you complete an assessment to stay certified, the validity period extends by 12 months. Easy enough, right? 

For sure! So, this is how you can keep your certifications valid: 

  1. Log into the ‘My Learning’ page with your SAP Universal ID (Note: your SAP Universal ID must be linked with a secondary email account from another email domain provider) 
  2. With a click on “Certifications” section you will find your passed certification(s) with the respective validity date.  
  3. Access the enablement materials that are linked to prepare for the stay certified assessment. You need an SAP Learning Hub subscription to access stay certified assessment. 
  4. Take the stay certified assessment linked to your certification. Once successfully passed, the new validity date of your certification will be updated. 

If you are already certified in an SAP solution, you will receive a personalized email informing you about the required next steps to ensure that you don’t miss your certification expiry date. So don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! 

We truly believe that the redesigned SAP Certification program will make it easier and faster for you to get and stay certified, to identify next career steps and goals, and ensure you have the latest skills and valid credentials on the newest SAP innovations tailored to your role and responsibility. With a subscription to the enhanced SAP Learning Hub, you can have access to all the learning resources you need to get and stay certified in one place. So why don’t you set yourself up for success?

Hi Suzanne, thanks for sharing the change of certification. May I ask what would happen if failing to pass the stay certification assessment at first time. Will my certification be directly invalidated, or can I still keep taking the assessment until passing it, if so, is there a limit on number of attempts?

Hi @Alan_Wang when you fail the assessment to stay certified you can try it again. There are unlimited trials possible for the assessment. When you failed I would recommend that you dive deeper into the content to prepare for the assessment and then do a second try.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing this information.

Can you please inform us how this changes are affecting certifications for SuccessFactors? 

For a certification, we used to take 2 stay current exams each year (corresponding to the releases). Each of them are mandatory to keep the certification valid.

How the new validity term (12 months) will apply in our scenario?

Thank you in advance for the clarifications!

 

Best regards,

Alexandra

Hi @Ale_Comsa yes this is also replacing the known stay current process for SAP SuccessFactors where in the past certified consultant had been asked to keep their certifications valid twice per year. 

So from now on for all SAP Certifications - including SAP SuccessFactors the certification is valid for 12 month and can be extended by passing the corresponding assessment within this 12 month to extend for another 12 month. 

Kind Regards, Suzanne
