Build a career in SAP ABAP/JAVA programming.

[#1]

Hi,

I am a software developer in Ontario, Canada with 5 years combined experience in .NET and Java.  I am also an Oracle Certified Professional, Java SE 6 programmer

I want develop a career in SAP ABAP/Java programming. This forum helped me find lot of information and the best way seems to be get a job in a company that has SAP.

So far my efforts have been futile or maybe I am not trying the right way but I still have couple of lingering questions.

If I want to write a certification exam like

SAP Certified Development Associate - ABAP with SAP NetWeaver 7.02

Or

SAP Certified Development Associate - ABAP with SAP NetWeaver 7.31

Is mandatory or recommended to have prior experience in SAP? If it is recommended them my plan is to take a course in a recognized institute and get certification.

Please let me know if these are not the right certificates I should be looking to obtain.

My second question is, Is the certificate worth/considered when applying for SAP developer Jobs?

If this a re post then kindly guide me to an appropriate link or resources.

Appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Kiran,

If you do not have working experience in SAP modules then certification might be helpful for you. Also, SAP UI5 will be a good technology for u to learn. I have done the certification in ABAP with netweaver and certainly it will be an added advantage

You can approach Altimetrk India, Bangalore for starting a good career in SAP modules.
