SAP-SD Module Certification for 1 yr exp in Sales - MBA(Marketing)

[Former Member]

Hi! I'm an MBA(Marketing) with 1 yr exp in corporate sales and at present i'm working as a Sr. Mrkt Exe in Electronic Surveillance System - Channel Sales (just 2 months back). I heard about this SAP-SD Module Certification from Siemens, and I want to know 1)whether that module + certification would help me in getting a job in SAP???

I'm planning to join this module once i complete 1 yr in this company with 1 yr Channel sales experience...and many forums and discussions have had this never ending debate on "SAP Certification Vs Implementation Experience on SAP"....so being new to this field, I have to start somewhere so :

2)Is this the rt platform for starting a career in SAP??? and

3)1 yr exp in Corporate Sales and 1 yr exp in Channel Sales, does that matter in case they are looking for 2 yr domain experience for pursuing the SAP-SD module???

valuable suggestions highly appreciated!!

thx

Hi Nelson,

1)Whether that module + certification would help me in getting a job in SAP???

Yes, if you get certification it will help you but you need to be sound in knowledge on SAP SD. Siemens will only provide you job assistance, to click the interview you need to be knowledgeable.

2)Is this the rt platform for starting a career in SAP??? and

Yes, Siemens is an education partner of SAP and they provide good training but once you enrolled for the course you need lots of hard work, because this training will complete in hardly 18-20 days and right after that you would be required to appear in the Certification Exam.

3)1 yr exp in Corporate Sales and 1 yr exp in Channel Sales, does that matter in case they are looking for 2 yr domain experience for pursuing the SAP-SD module???

Yes it will definitely matter because SAP training is given to those people who have domain experience because the businesses processes SAP follows are the actual ones used in any organization so it will be better if the person is experienced and knows the know how of his work area.

Dear Nelsonmayl,

If you are planning for a certification course after one year, you can get yourself trained from consultants in your locality.

You can learn SD from glynn c williams's "Implementing SAP ERP Sales & Distribution".

I got certified from Genovate and i am happy with their placement assistance.

Currently the market is hot and so there are lot of openings for certified freshers.

But book alone will not help you as it is important to be familiar with the screens and the different scenarios in SAP .

You can find different books written on SAP SD in the market but the best one which I would prefer is u201CImplementing Sales and Distribution Module by Glynn C. Williamsu201D

I would suggest not to read this book before getting enrolled for the training of SAP SD module. Once you get enrolled for training and you have the study material for SAP SD provided by Siemens after going through those, use this book for in-depth knowledge.

As far as e-learning material is concerned you can find it on SAPpress.com but that is on chargeable basis. Other than this site there is not any authorized site which provides E-learning material for SAP. You can find learning material on the net for SAP on different available sites, use Google to search for those sites.
