Hi all,
I'm working with a SAP implementation partner as an ABAPer. I'm interested in doing the below certification
I understood from my colleagues that I can apply for the certification by getting a consent letter from my employer.
I want to know the fees details & procedure to apply for the exam. One of my colleague contacted someone in SAP india and applied for the exam by filling out forms send by them and by other details required.
Please guide me through this...I'm located at chennai, India.
Thanks,
Rajan U

So many filters.
It seems highly impossible for a common man to appear SAP Certification.
By reading this, I understood SAP Certification is still dream for number of professionals in some part of this world.
I wonder, though Malaysia and India resides in the same APAC region, how come their Certification policies are different? Sorry, they are very difficult to understand for a layman like me

Dear Rajan,

Dear Chirag,
I've got the relevant details by calling one of the education partner (ATOS) in my City (Chennai, India).
They have informed that fees would be Rs.30000 + 12% tax.
step1) They have asked me to send my profile.
step2) They in turn will send my profile to SAP and see if I'm eligible to appear for the exam.
step3) If eligible, I can proceed with other formalities (Sending DD in favour of SAP India etc).
Thanks,
Rajan U
Dear Rajan,
I would suggest not to approach ATOs if you doesn't want to go through training as there are all the chances of getting misdirected.
Approach directly SAP Bangalore, education / certification department and further suggest you directly deal with SAP rather than going through ATOs.

Hi,
This information makes sense. Thanks a lot.
I'm looking for C_BODI_20 certification and I hope the same process applies for this exam aswell.
Here are few confirmations I'm looking for
1. 1. Once our profile is validated, I read its valid only for 2 months which means once we submit our profile we should be able to give the exam within 2months? What if we don’t
2. 2. I was going through the project profile_direct certification form where it is asking for SAP experience and Functional experience. My understanding on this SAP exp – means currently our work exp in SAP ; Function exp – I’m not quite sure about this. Is this something related to the client? Like how they are using SAP BODS in their business.
3. 3. I see certification cost is 38K, are there any limit on the number of attempts or 38K is only for single attempt?
4. 4. Anyone in this forum completed C_BODI_20 certification successfully? Require some guidance on this.
5. 5. I also came to know the exam dates are not pre-scheduled which means after validating our profile do they give us a specific date to attend the exam or its our choice to choose the date?
Thanks a lot for all the support you have been providing in this regard.
Hi Srinivas,
The rules in India bit strange. Only SAP India Education can be able to answer your questions. However, this is my attempt to your questions based on my experience.
1. Resubmit
2. Only SAP Education India can be able to tell you.
3. Only single attempt. (If they are allowing number of chances, then the whole India sits for SAP Certification Exam )
4. Let us hope for some better answers on this point to share their experience.
5. Once your are eligible for Certification, they will give you available dates, may be for the couple of months, then you need to choose one of the date.
Thanks and Regards,
Ravi
Hi Srinivas,
I believe that you can get clarified when start corresponding with a particular person @ SAP education.As mentioned above "by Chirag", please contact SAP education unit. Just send an email from website link (https://www.sap.com/host.epx?kNtBzmUK9zU) or just use contact us in certification page. You'll get a reply mail from SAP directing you to concern person.
After that you can send your profile to the concern person along with your other queries.
Thanks,

1.
1. First we will have to provide our resume to SAP in the attached SAP format with the complete experience in Business Objects along with the current version. (Contact any of the Education consultant from SAP they will provide you. Here I contacted the education consultant by name Deepthi from SAP India)
2. 2. On receiving the resume, SAP will evaluate and confirm on approval status in 3 to 7 working days.
Once the Profile is approved they would send us the mail confirming our eligibility to the certification.
3. Fill in the attached forms (received from SAP along with the confirmation mail for eligibility )
