Hie everybody,
I am thinking of taking BW certification but how is the learning curve for someone who has no SAP background? I am a Computer Science grad but currently have a non-IT related job. It would be appreciated if someone shares with me the training materials or any study materials so that I can see if i can cope with it when I am doing the certification. Please e-mail to: ericclc2003@yahoo.com.
Thanks in advance guys for the help.

I am planning to do SAP BW Certification. But I dont know which one of the following I have to do.
1) SAP NetWeaver´04 - Business Intelligence (C_TBW45_04)(Certification - Solution Consultant)
2) SAP NetWeaver´04 - Business Intelligence Technology(C_TADMBO_04) (Certification - Technology Consultant)
Or I have to wait for SAP BI Certification, that I heard, would come after November 06, which is for version 7.

HI Saloni
At considerable cost to myself, I just recently went and attended the SAP BW Training Academy (5 weeks of intensive training) and will hopefully be sitting the BW Cert exam in the next few weeks.
I have all the training material you need to get certified in BW, along with the SAP software so that you can setup a full training system at home and Study for the exam.
I'd be willing to copy all materials for anyone who needs it for a fee...if interested please let me know.

Hari;
If I were you, I would start-up with http://help.sap.com, this link itself has very good documentation, then go with few books like 'Mastering Business Warehouse' gives you pretty good understanding of theory part. and SAP Press book for Business Warehouse.
Hope this helps.

People :
Please give a brief intorduction atleast in your profile if you do not want to have it in the post . That will give us a good idea on how to lead you yo the right sources.
There is a lot of documentation and things that we might require are like :
1. Access to a BW system...
2. How long the person has been in SAP - background
3. FUnctional / technical
4. If Fresher - why you want to get into BW ?
Not from a dissauading perspective but from understanding the needs better...
Arun
Guys ,
In INDIA - you will have to give a lot of credentials to take the exam in India but it is less stringent overseas but again more exensive.
Also I would not suggest help.sap.com as a resource. It is there only for help when you have a BW system. Also it helps a lot if you have access to an SAP BW system and that too with R/3 access. If this is there then the practical knowledge sets in and helps a lot towards certification.
Arun
Hi Vidya,
I'll appreciate too, if you can send me the information about BW certification at nauman.hanif@sympatico.ca... I'm novice in SAP and working as Database Consultact since last 12 years... now thinking to change. Few more question are below for your expert advice:
1. How/Where we can access to SAP application?
2. How long would it take to get certified with a medium pace?
3. Is there any pre-requisite certification to get certified?
Thank you so much for your time.
Nauman
