Hi,

You can try it in SAP-TECHED2008, which is planned to be on NOV 12-14...

This is one of the cheapest way to go for a Certification..But anyhow it needs you company sponsorship for that....

And other way you need to chek with Siemens or Reliance as they are recoginsed SAP educational partners.But it costs more in this way......

How can I prepare for the exams?

Concept is tested. If you understand the concept, you have a better chance of answering the question than trying to remember the actual bullet points in the academy course material.

Use the online help to find and review the concepts covered in the certification course material. The information in the online help is presented in a different format to the course material and will therefore solidify the concepts presented. You will be much better prepared to answer the questions regardless of how the question may be worded. This really works.

How many levels will the exam will be conducted?

The certification exam is conducted in three levels, associate, principal and master. If you are a first timer then go with associate level, and there aftre gaining experience you can enhance your career with other levels of exam.
