No. it is not necessary to have certification to enter SAP world.

Your certification will be a additional qualification for your experience..

Just concentrate about your knowledge.

Take a deep knowledge about SAP BASIS.

Suppose you have done certification but you haven't much knowledge about technical knowledge..

But one other person has strong technical knowledge but he doesn't has any certification.

Always the first priority will be the second guy.

And if you have the certification and strong technical knowledge then you will rock...

Decision is yours.

Best of luck for your career..

Regards

Dev

Hi Nashith,

please ubderstand the difference between a certification and real time exposure, when you will go to prepare or take any certifications, there only objective type of questiones are asked, it is meant for knowledge, but while working you will get many problems that might not be in certification subject lines.

So, certification only serve to boost your resume that you have knowledge regarding it, but if you will work sincerely on it you will get hands on experience, just telling you a short story.

There was a farmer, he has sended his son to study , after some years he came back and one day he saw that his father's well got dried and the level of water get reduced in the well, that time he remember the story of Crow , who puts concrete in a bucket when he was thirsty to elevate the level of water from bucket.

So he order each person to put stones and concrete in well, when everyone starts putting stones and concrete in the well, the well becomes full of concrete and the water level never get elevated.

This shows that rather than taking knowledge , we have to learn how to use it, so it needs hands on experience, and thats why experienced person are more considered thatn a certified proffesional.

So, according to me take hands on experience as far as practicable, it will be more considerable than being a certified professional, taking a certifications never ever ends your job hunt.
