[HDM]

Thank you students for your strong interest in this offering! 

All free SAP certification exam attempts have been allocated to students globally. Please explore the opportunity for student-discounted exam attempts here!

As technology continues to permeate every aspect of our lives, obtaining certifications has emerged as a valuable step for students to secure rewarding job opportunities. Students demonstrate their aptitude for SAP and interest in SAP-related careers by earning an SAP certification.

Why become certified?

The globally recognized SAP Certifications are proof of competence at the highest level of specialized SAP expertise. This can unlock the door to promising opportunities! SAP is used by thousands of companies worldwide, creating an ecosystem full of technology enthusiasts, cutting-edge technology, and innovations. Get certified and take the chance to secure a future-proof job in a global community looking to leave a mark in the world.

How to find the right SAP Certification for you?

SAP Learning offers a variety of certification-focused learning journeys on many topics, SAP solutions and skill levels. Many of the professors in the SAP University Alliances also teach SAP solutions in their classes. In some cases, you may be ready to sit for the relevant certification exam just by taking their class. In most cases we recommend completing the associated learning journey to fully prepare.

Of course, there are many possible learning journeys and certifications. Also, the list of certification-focused learning journeys is expanding. You can explore the full list here. Additionally, learners may earn a record of achievement (badge) after successfully completing many of the introductory learning journeys.

Four of the most popular learning journeys leading to certification include:

• For aspiring citizen developers: Utilizing SAP Build for Low-Code/No-Code Applications and Automations for Citizen Developers


• For aspiring developers: Developing with SAP Integration Suite | SAP Learning


• For aspiring consultants: Designing Business Processes with SAP Signavio Solutions


• For aspiring data analysts: Designing Stories in SAP Analytics Cloud

Obtain Discounted Student Certification

• Review the "CERS01 - One SAP Certification Exam for Students" offering


• Confirm the certification exam you wish to take is included in the offering


• Click on "add to basket" and follow the prompts to purchase the discounted exam attempt


• After purchasing the exam attempt, you will schedule your exam experience


• Review the FAQ for further details on each step

Fine Print

• The CERS01 certification exam is only available for students


• Be sure to subscribe with your student email address and note your educational institution


• Be prepared to prove your status as an actively enrolled student with your student email address (otherwise student ID/certificate of enrollment is sufficient)


• Be ready to take your exam within 12 months of purchasing the exam attempt


• Exams are remotely proctored via a webcam


• After passing the exam, you will receive an SAP Global Certification digital badge that can be widely shared across social media to celebrate your achievement

How to pass the certification exam?

Here are tips to successfully attain an SAP Certification:

1. Complete the relevant Learning Journey on Student Zone - even if you learned about the solution in your course, reviewing the learning journey ensures you are introduced to all content potentially on the exam.


2. Study, study, study. An industry certification is different than a typical university exam. Every detail matters.


3. Gather as much information as you can about the exam itself (weight given to topics, sample questions, pass mark, number of questions, time allowed).


4. Be aware that some questions require more than one answer. The exam application will not alert you if you have answered too few or too many.


5. The exam tool does not tell you how far into the exam you are (e.g., question 57 of 80). You can note down how many questions there are in each section, so that you always know exactly where you are.

Most importantly, have confidence and trust that you know your stuff!

When you achieve certification, be sure to tag #UniversityAlliances when you share your success on social media so we can celebrate with you!  Then head over to the Career Corner, where you can explore new career growth opportunities.

We wish you the best of luck!

Hi Ms. Matthews, I submitted my application for this valuable voucher on Oct 9, but haven't received any email that informs my application is in the queue or not. Could you please check if my request is valid? My requested email and university are 030236200112@st.buh.edu.vn, Ho Chi Minh Banking University respectively. Thank you a lot.

[manishakulkarni]

Hi,

I am not a student in any university, nor a working professional. I'm interested in getting certified, can I still avail this opportunity? 

Please let me know.

Thanks,

Manisha

[eman100]

Hi,

Iam graduated since 2012 , I need to get the certificate .

Do I have opportunity?

[laxmikantrathod37]

No

[Lisa_Keller]

Hi Manisha,

Thank you for your question and my apologies for only getting back to you now. To be eligible for a certification voucher, you need to be actively enrolled at a university. Therefore, this particular opportunity is not a fit for you. However, you certainly can get SAP certified upon paying the regular certification fee.

Find out all about SAP certifications here. 

Please do not hesitate to reach out to us in the event of further questions.

Kind regards,

Lisa

Hello lisakeller and heather.czech,

I trust this comment finds you well. My colleague and I have successfully registered within November for the program using our university email addresses:

61050263@kmitl.ac.th
61050274@kmitl.ac.th
63050132@kmitl.ac.th
63050135@kmitl.ac.th
64140251@kmitl.ac.th

I am currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science at KMITL (SAP University Alliance). I am reaching out to express my genuine interest in applying for a free voucher certification to support our SAP career journey.

Regrettably, no opportunities or information regarding SAP certification have been communicated through the university's email channels. We kindly request your assistance in providing us with the opportunity to obtain the certification.

I appreciate your attention to this matter and am eager to hear from you soon.

Kind Regards,

Pound

Hello Heather,

Nice post.

I am interested in writing a certification (P_SECAUTH_21 - SAP Certified Technology Professional - System Security Architect) but its going to expire on 28th of March 2024.

Is there an updated version of the exam that is available so that I can schedule to write it?

Thanks in advance.

Uche

[HDM]

Uche,

I did some checking.  You are correct that the exam expires on 28-March, 2024.  There is no direct successor of this specific exam.  A new security architect certification is planned for late 2024.  You will need to decide if you want to obtain the certification now/soon or wait.  My guidance is always to leverage learning you've already done and obtain the certification now!

I did a search, and found a blog that provides details on the TechEd discounted certification exam attempt:  https://groups.community.sap.com/t5/sap-teched-blog-posts/get-your-exclusive-sap-teched-certificatio...

 

It notes that the discount was only avaialble through 30-Nov-2023.

[danish_parvez]

Hello,

 

I am a little confused here and would appreciate the help 🙂

Does registering for a Certificate Exam also give you access to all the courses in the Learning Journey?

Or is the 125 Euro Fee just for the exam and I have to individually buy all the courses from the learning journey?

Looking forward your sincere advice and guidance.

 

Regards,

Danish Parvez

Hello everyone, Hello dear SAP team,

first of all thank you for the student offer CERS01 for 1 certification attempt.

Unfortunately, I was not able to find the student-offer for 6 certification attempts. Could you please post the link here.

In case this is not available (yet 😘😞 

I understand that it can be a hefty sum for a student to put in 500 € at once (although it has a much better value than the student discount (125€/1ea for CERS01 vs. ~83€/1ea for CER006).

But how about this something like the following idea: for each successful student certification attempt, we students receive an individual discount for the purchase of the next CERS01, so that for example after the 5th purchase of CERS01 end up with an average price around 75.- to 80.-€ ???

With kind regards,

Pierre
