SAP recently announced a transition towards role-based certifications and here in the SAP Customer Experience domain, we are thrilled to be a part of this journey. Transitioning to a role-based certification will help you to acquire skills and product knowledge to aid your career progression and ensure that you have exactly what you need to shine in your role.
Firstly, it is important to understand why SAP is making such a shift. One of the main reasons for the transition is to enable individuals to focus on acquiring skill sets and knowledge required to perform a job/role rather than just product functions. Some role based certifications have already been introduced such as the SAP Certified Professional - SAP Enterprise Architect and from 2nd April, we are proud to announce that the SAP Customer Experience Certifications will follow suit and be role based certifications.
As part of the SAP Customer Experience certification portfolio, we are pleased to release the following role-based certifications:
Which certification should I choose?
Based on the role that you are expected to perform on a project, you should correspondingly complete the relevant certification.
- Identify the role that you expect to perform i.e. your consulting role that you want to perform as part of your career.
- Learn the skills and knowledge required to excel in your role with tailored learning resources for SAP Customer Experience solutions on the SAP CX Learning Site.
- Take the role-based certification exam corresponding to your chosen role.
- Keep your certification and skills valid by completing yearly assessments to Stay Certified.
