Take your SAP Certification Exams in the Cloud

[former_member21263]

SAP is committed to the Cloud and you can now take SAP Certification exams there too!!

In the course of 2016, SAP Certification exams for cloud solutions such as SuccessFactors, C4C (Cloud for Customer), Ariba and SAP Hybris are provided in the Cloud to take at your convenience and location, 7 days a week/24 hours a day via the Certification Hub.

A subscription to the Certification Hub provides you with 6 exam bookings in a 12-month subscription period. You can take 6 different exams or take one exam up to 3 times. Each retake of an exam counts as one of the 6 exam attempts available with the subscription.

The amount of exams available in the Certification Hub subscription are rapidly increasing. Check the SAP Training and Certification Shop for the most current list of cloud-based exams.

SAP offers two types of certifications in the Certification Hub: Associate Certification and Professional Certification. The Associate Certification covers the fundamental knowledge requirements for an SAP consultant to configure and implement SAP solutions based on the content covered in the Academy training. For some parts of the portfolio (for example, SuccessFactors), Delta exams are part of the Associate Certification and ensure that a consultant is up to date on the most current release of the Cloud solution. For certain Associate exams, SAP offers the option to certify as a Specialist. This certification is in addition to an Associate certification and focuses on a specific role or integration component. Professional Certification is the highest level of Certification and requires technical and practical expertise.

How Do I Find the Right Exam to Take?

From the SAP Training and Certification Shop you can click the Browse courses button to browse through the catalog for a specific exam by solution:



Or if you know the exact code of the exam you want to locate, you can use the search field:



How Do I Take a Certification Exam in the Cloud?

 

SAP Certification exams delivered in the Cloud are available 7 days/week, 24 hours/day so you can take an exam at your convenience, anywhere in the world. An online proctor will monitor you as you take the exam so you will need:

 

• Internet connection


• Laptop or desktop computer with a camera


• Private room in which to take the exam


• Government-issued ID to validate yourself to the online proctor

Refer to the SAP Training and Certification Shop Technical Requirements to take an SAP Certification exam in the Cloud. The list of FAQs (at the Help Center - Search will answer most of your questions about using this testing platform.

 

Maintaining Your Certification - Delta Exams

 

For some parts of the portfolio (for example, SuccessFactors), SAP offers Delta exams to ensure that SAP Cloud certified consultants are up-to-date with their skills and knowledge. You are eligible to take a Delta exam when you pass the pre-requisite Associate exam for a specific solution. Once you pass the Associate exam, you maintain your certified status by taking the Delta exam within 6 months of the exams' availability.

 

Upon passing an SAP certification exam, you will receive an email from SAP Credential Manager to opt-in to the Credential Manager system. Accept the invitation to opt-in to Credential Manager so you will be notified when a corresponding Delta exam is available.

The first step to getting started is to book CER006 - Certification Hub in the Training and Certification Shop.

4. You will now see the "Welcome to the Certification Hub" page. Click the "Conduct System Test" button.

 




5. If this is the first time you are scheduling a Certification in the Cloud exam, you must download and install Questionmark Secure on your system. Click this URL to download:

 


6. Once you have downloaded and installed Questionmark Secure and conducted the system test, you can schedule your certification exams. At the top of the Certification Hub window, click on the "Exam Dashboard".

Preparing for a Certification Exam

 

Once you have located the Certification exam that you want to take and have your system configured to take an exam in the Certification in the Cloud, you should follow these steps to prepare for an SAP Certification exam:

 

1. Consider taking related training

2. Review the exam syllabus or details

3. Review sample questions

 

Consider taking related training

Training courses can help you to pass an associate-level exam.  SAP Learning Hub brings the power and convenience of the Cloud to SAP Learning. With the SAP Learning Hub, you'll find all the SAP training you'll need in one place - whenever and wherever you need it. As a subscriber to the SAP Learning Hub you have access to all relevant training materials and you can benefit from the Learning Rooms for your exam preparation. Learning Rooms are virtual learning spaces that guide you through all the training related to a specific certification exam. Learning Rooms are led by SAP's top instructors who help you with your learning and preparation and provide answers to your questions.

 

For each exam, you can find the related training courses on the exam detail page:

 




 

If you are preparing for a professional-level exam, the indicated exam-related training classes serve a refresher or foundation courses, but they are not sufficient for exam preparation. To successfully prepare for a professional-level certification exam, you must have sufficient practical experience.

 

Review the exam syllabus or details

The topics covered in a Certification exam are listed on each exam detail page. Prepare for the exam based on the weighted value of each topic in the exam Topic Areas:

 




 

Review sample questions

For most exams, SAP Education provides sample questions. These are actual questions asked in past exams so they are representative of the questions asked in the live exam. You can find these sample questions on each exam detail page:

 




 

 

Good Luck!!

 

I hope this information helps you to successfully pass an SAP Certification exam in the Cloud. It will be great to hear from you about your experiences.

Hi Sunil,

Thank you for your question. The SAP SuccessFactors versions before _1611 (or Q4) are retired but do not worry you are still certified as long as you take the Delta assessments. The Deltas represent the current status of the SAP SuccessFactors modules. If you are up-to-date then you should see “Your status is current” in Credential Manager.

I hope this answers your question. If you need any more help, please let me know.

Best regards,

Amy

Hi,

I am interested in getting a hybris developer certificate. I examine the exam guide on the wiki page. I have listed some questions below. Could you share me more details about them?

• How does the exam result calculation make? For example; there are two correct answers and I only write one of them. Do I get half points?


• Do you share count of correct answers on the top of the questions like sample exam you have on your site?


• Do wrong answers has any effect on the exam result calculation?

Thanks,

Mustafa Can

[former_member21718]

Hi Sheri,

I was checking the training shop to check the example questions for the Certification Exams for Successfactors but they were deleted :(, is there a way to find these examples, there was just 5-6 questions but it was helpful to know which kind of question you could face.

Thanks in advance.

[former_member296684]

Hi Mustafa, We award one full point for each correct answer: we do not award half points or negative points for incorrect answers. Multiple response questions do indicate how many answers are correct. Good luck with your certification! Amy

Hello Sheri,

My name is ‘Rama’, from Singapore. I would like to subscribe to the ‘Certification Hub’ as I am planning to take few available certifications in this hub.

I would like to get your final comments before proceeding with the certification hub subscription for the below exam –

C_ACT_2016 – SAP Activate Project Manager: I am already experienced SAP Project Manager and also got approval from SAP Education, Singapore to go for C_PM_71 (ASAP8) as an experienced PM, without any training required. Eventually, I have found that SAP Activate is the latest methodology developed on top of ASAP.

And I am already working in an implementation project which is using SAP Activate Methodology for S/4 HANA. Please let me know whether can I go ahead with subscription and to book an online exam for C_ACT_2016 or not.

Thanks,

Rama

Hello Sheri,

I am planning to give a certification exam P_HYCD_62. But I am a little bit confused on some points. Please give an answer on same.

1. total attempts are listed is 6,  so Can I take 6 attempts on this exam (P_HYCD_62).
2. Free learning hub actually points to and it is necessary to complete this.

Thanks

[former_member296684]

Hi Sri,

For SAP SuccessFactors it is highly recommended to get a SAP Learning Hub subscription. Here you can access training materials, learning rooms and take delta assessments to stay current.

Certification candidates with SAP India have to take a course or apply (with proven experience) before they can register for an SAP certification exam. For more information, see
https://www.sapindiacertification.com/help/directcertification/ or https://www.sapindiacertification.com/cloudcertification/

Good luck!

Amy

[former_member296684]

Hi Carolina, Which exam are you looking for? Thanks, Amy

[former_member296684]

Hi Milind, A subscription contains six attempts but only three per exam. Can you clarify what you are asking about the SAP Learning Hub? Thanks, Amy

[former_member296684]

Hi Rama, If you already got approval from your local education office then you should be able to subscribe to the certification hub without any issues. If you cannot subscribe, please contact your local SAP Education office. Good luck! Amy

[former_member296684]

Hi Muhammad, Thank you for pointing this out. I have reported it and it should be updated asap. Best regards, Amy

[former_member296684]

Hi Palaniappan,

Candidates with SAP India have to take a course or apply (with proven experience) before they can register for an SAP certification exam. For more information, see https://www.sapindiacertification.com/help/directcertification/ or https://www.sapindiacertification.com/cloudcertification/

Good luck!

Hi Amy,

Thanks for your quick response.

my question is it necessary to complete the learning training through SAP Learning Hub?

Also, Exam eligibility criteria (minimum required experience for eligibility).

Thanks

Milind

[former_member296684]

Hi Milind, This can depend somewhat on the region you are in so it would be best to contact your regional SAP Education office. On training.sap.com the requirements are as follows:

• The “SAP Certified Development Professional - SAP Hybris Commerce 6.2 Developer" certification exam validates that the candidate possesses the required level of knowledge to work effectively with the SAP Hybris Commerce Suite 6.2. This certification proves that the candidate has an overall understanding and in-depth technical skills to participate as a member of a project team. The scope of SAP Hybris Commerce knowledge in the courses stated within "Topic Areas" is narrower than the scope of knowledge checked in the certification questions. In addition to the courses stated as covering the topics within "Topic Areas" , as preparation for this certification exam, candidates must also study the SAP Hybris Commerce Suite 6 documentation located at: help.hybris.com/. In order to access the documentation, you must be an SAP Hybris customer or partner and follow the instructions on https://crowd1.hybris.com/crowdcontrol/signup to request a wiki account. Three years of practical experience on SAP Hybris Commerce is a further requirement as preparation for this certification exam.

So I do not believe that a SAP Learning Hub subscription is required for the certification. However since it is a professional exam, three years of practical experience is required. There is a free Discovery version of the SAP Learning Hub that you can try out.

Best regards,
Amy

Hi, Moderator,

I am a SAP Business One user for the last one year and am currently taking material for SAP Business One 9.2 version through SAP Learning Hub.

Hi,

I am planning to appear for SAP certifications and would like to know if SAP Certified Technology Associate - OS/DB Migration for SAP NetWeaver 7.4 (C_TADM70_74) is available in cloud.

I have gone through below link which has necessary information to take SAP Certification exam in the Cloud. However another link to check certifications available in cloud is mentioned on this page, but it is not working.

https://jam4.sapjam.com/wiki/show/w8Q2IE8tAapLpTd3tKTXrc

https://training.sap.com/shop/content/cloudcertification > Check certifications available in cloud.

 Please help me with the information on  C_TADM70_74 certification.

Hi,

I'm Rehan from Sri Lanka and planing to take C-THR81 certification. I have learning hub access and please help me to understand below queries .

 

1. What is the difference between SFX certification and this ?


2. Learning hub access will expire on March 2018, if I complete exams before that and If the company decide not to extend the learning hub subscription, what will happen to my certification?


3. After paying the exam fee ( 6 attempts ), can I take other SuccessFactors exams without additional cost? (eg : PMGM ,etc)

[former_member296684]

Hi Tejraj, This exam is not currently available in the Certification Hub (cloud). Please refer to training.sap.com for local appointments or contact your regional SAP Education office. Thanks, Amy

[former_member296684]

Hi Rehan, You will need access to SAP Learning Hub to keep your certification valid as the SAP Successfactors exams are part of the Stay Current program where you have to pass the quarterly delta assessments. This means your certified status will be lost if you do not stay current.

You can take up to 6 exams with a subscription to the Certification Hub – so yes you can take other SAP SuccessFactors exams as part of the Certification Hub subscription without additional cost. Regarding the difference, please ask in your Learning Room as you will find experts in the area there. Good luck with your certification! Amy

[kiransarma88]

Hi! I have a query related to attempting an exam from the CER006 Cloud certification package. Can I subscribe (pay the fee) to it just a day before I would like to take the exam or should I subscribe now and later on book my planned exam date? ( the point is to save some time on the 6-month window that SAP offers).

Appreciate your response.

Regards,

Kiran

 

[former_member296684]

Hi Sajjad,

I just heard back from the expert for this who advised that you should be able to apply to take the exam at a Pearson VUE testing centre. You can go to www.pearsonvue.com, then search for a local test center, and then search for the exam C_TB1200_92.

The exam will be in English.

Good luck with your certification!

Amy

[Former Member]

Hi Moderator,

Thank you for your reply.

I visited the link provided by you. According to Pearson, we have to purchase exam voucher from SAP education. I went to SAP Education, but haven’t been able to find a link for purchasing exam voucher for the C_TB1200_92 exams. (The page I have visited was https://training.sap.com/shop/certification/c_tb1200_92-sap-certified-application-associate---sap-bu...

Can you please guide me in this regard too?

Thank you.

[former_member47761]

Hi Amy,

I have SAP Learning Hub subscription already until end of October 2018, How can pursue my Associate certificates for EC and other modules? As when I search for Certification Hub it shows me that I dont have it in my subscription and I need to buy it. If I understood your earlier comments correctly 6 exams come as part of the Learning Hub access. Is this correct or do I need to buy the Certification Hub too to pursue these exams? Please clarify.

Thanks

Gaurav

[former_member47761]

just to add to my previous question I have already completed the EC final exam through Learning Hub… @amy.oc

[former_member296684]

Hi Gaurav, You need a separate subscription to the Certification Hub to take certification exams. I think the final exam you attach below is not a certification but the final exam for a course. Best regards, Amy

Can anybody guide me on how to take SAP Certified Application Associate - Ariba Sourcing (14s1) exam and where do I access the study material for this exam?

[J_Markus]

Hello -

I took my SAP Certified Application Associate - SAP SuccessFactors Career Development Planning Q4/2016 exam and passed it and I have stayed current with all the Delta's for this certification.  My question is this exam is now.  If I continue to stay current with the Delta's will I still be certified or will I need to study and take the whole exam over?

[kannanware7]

Dear Sheri,

Thanks and appreciate in collaborating the valuable information in a single contect for exam goers like us.

HI Team ,

I had paid for cer006 from my pocket(not company paid) , my 5 attempts were left .Meanwhile i changed my company to another partner.I got another S user ID in new company.I had to take a certification today through my old id and get the certificate move to my new credential manager account , but yesterday I mapped my previous ID and my new EY ID , because of which I can not access the subscription of cer006.On 'Accss' subscription screen , it now asks me to pay the amount

[kannanware7]

Contact the SAP Education, its easy to reassign back to the original S-User id.  Better you clear your exam with existing S-user ID as the certification must have been taged to this S-user id by the SAP education.

Hi Sheri,

I also would like to do the online certification as Avinash in few weeks. Is the certification C_TS460_1610 for associete consultants, who hasn't been certified yet?

Or is it a one of the Delta certifications, where a pre-requisite ist one of the ERP-certifications for associate consultants, like 'SAP Certified Application Associate - Sales and Distribution, ERP 6.0 EhP7". I'm not sure if when I register for C_TS460_1610 I will be asked for proving of any certifications that I've done before.

Unfortunately I have two different information about it from SAP Education center, that's why I'm not sure if I'm allowed to attend this certification.

Thank you for any information.

Best regard

Hi Sheri,

I would like to get Certified in C_AUDSEC_731 (SAP Certified Technology Associate - SAP Authorization and Auditing for NetWeaver 7.31).

But I can't find certification in the Cloud Certification List. Could you please help how can i take exam from CER006 – Certification Hub.

 

Thanks.

Venkatesh Darru

[former_member21263]

Hello,

You will receive an email from SAP Credential Manager when the quarterly update exams are available in Learning Hub for you to take.  You will have 30 days in which to complete the exam in Learning Hub in order to keep your certification current.  This assumes that you have taken and passed the core exam (such as C_THR82_1708) and have opted into Credential Manager.

Good luck.

Sheri

[former_member21263]

Hello,

The C_AUDSEC_731 is not currently available in the Certification in the Cloud. You will need to take this exam at an SAP Testing Center or Pearson-Vue Testing Center.

You can access the exam information here on the training and certification web shop: https://training.sap.com/certification/c_audsec_731-sap-certified-technology-associate---sap-authori...

Hi Sherry,

Thanks for this informative blog. I have a question, I have subscribed Learning hub student edition. If I do associate SuccessFactors certification through certification hub, then will I be able to take delta exams through student hub or I will have to buy professional learning hub?

Hello Muhammad,

Yes, you will need to have the SAP Learning Hub Professional Edition to take advantages of the benefits of Learning Hub, including taking the delta exams.  Once you have taken and passed the core certification exam, you can stay current by taking the delta courses and delta exams in SAP Learning Hub, Professional Edition.  Here is a link to more information about SAP Learning Hub, Professional Edition:
