ABAP Technical consultant certification for HANA

[KrisG]

Hello All,

i am a Technical developer. Worked in different technologies like ABAP/OO ABAP/WebDynpro/Workflows/ODATA etc.

Decided to do HANA certification, as my client might move towards HANA soon. I started reading about it and there are many layers of certification available on HANA and this fueled my confusion.

i found E_HANAAW_16 and C_HANADEV_16 both relevant to technical consultant by looking at the curriculum. What should i choose? or i should do both. Tried searching blogs and forums but couldnt find much.

Thanks in adavance.

Kris - I think it depends what your client will do with HANA. Are they moving to S/4HANA? On the surface, https://training.sap.com/certification/e_hanaaw_16-sap-certified-development-specialist---abap-for-s... (e.g. E_HANAAW_16) sounds like it may be a better choice

Maybe before deciding on certification you could look at the free open SAP courses mentioned here https://blogs.sap.com/2020/01/09/get-certified-c_hanadev_16/ take those course and then discuss with your client; that way you aren't wasting time/certification money.

Thanks Tammy.

Yes, client is going with S/4 HANA. Started Open SAP Courses as well. Looks like 'E' for expert, so, may be i should consider E_HANAAW_16 like you suggested.
