Difference between OpenSAP free and SAP paid Certifications?

[Former Member]

Hi OpenSAP team,

I have taken part in few HANA courses, namely,

"An Introduction to SAP HANA, Dr.Vishal Sikka"

"SAP Business Suite Powered by SAP HANA"

"Introduction to SAP HANA Cloud Platform"

and also registered for "SAP BW Powered by SAP HANA"

My question is, how different are these participation certificates from the other paid fee obtained certificates? In my case, what more SAP HANA cources should I take to get equal to SAP HANA Certification?

If these OpenSAP courses is equivalent to SAP Certifications, then that would be great.

Many thanks,

Gopal Seri

Hi Gopal,

Thank you for reaching out to us. The Record of Achievement from openSAP is not comparable to an SAP certification.

To receive an SAP certification, you should go to the SAP Training and Certification Shop (http://training.sap.com) to find other great offerings from SAP. You can easily find courses that relate to those that you've completed on openSAP.

For example, if you search for SAP Business Suite powered by SAP HANA on http://training.sap.com and go to the openSAP course, you can find related courses and certifications.

If you've completed Introduction to SAP HANA Cloud Platform, then you can find follow up trainings on openSAP such as Next Steps in SAP HANA Cloud Platform and Extending SAP Products with SAP HANA Cloud Platform. These trainings provide you with practical skills and allow you to learn from your location. You can also find related courses and certifications from the SAP Training and Certification Shop.

I hope that helps you to find further trainings from SAP. Happy learning!

Kind regards,

Claire
