Hi gaurav. nice to know that you are interested in SAP. I am working sales consultant and hope i am in a correct position to answer your query.

There are two career lines in SAP:

1 Technical

2 Functional

Your experience and background will certainly be useful for Technical applications of SAP modules which is called as ABAP.

There are few authorised training centers: Genovate and Siemens...

Thanks

Hi Gaurav,

It depends on your interests on the field you want to choose for SAP. But whatever field you mentioned are all functional areas in SAP. For all these functional areas you need to have functional or domain knowledge like Finance, or Materials Management, HR. There is something like technical side of SAP. It is the programming side in SAP. Here the programming language used is known as ABAP which is a 4th generation language and is pretty easy to learn. I think that would be the best option for you to start with and then once you have entered into SAP, you can explore other functional areas as well and move to functional side.

And as far as your experience, it will not be considered as SAP relevant experience, however it will be counted as overall experience for people management skills.

Hi Ravi. This is Nishant here. I would like to know the difference between :

1. CRM

2 SD module

i am working as a Sales Consultant and into selling of Engineering and Enterprise services for auto and aero OEM with some flavor of consumer goods industry. I have consolidated experience of ~ 2 years . I would like to go for SAP certification . I am pretty confused about the module selection and training centre for the same.

Authorised ones like Siemens and Genovate are charging heavily~ 3 lcs whereas unauthorized ones are charging 50-70 k ( all inclusive)..

Can you please share your thoughts on this?

Also i would like to know about you ( JOB PROFILE, Company etctc )
