SAP offers three levels of certification -- associate, professional, and master. You can pursue these levels for any of three certified consultant roles:

• Application consultant certification - This certification is available for specific SAP solutions. You can take the certification exam after completing the appropriate solution academy course and case study, or the equivalent SAP standard curriculum at an SAP training center. If you already have significant experience implementing an SAP solution, you can take the exam without completing the course work.
• Technology consultant certification - If you complete solution academy or SAP solutions training classes, you can take the technology exam to become a certified technology consultant. If you already have significant experience in Basis, SAP system administration, or SAP R/3 database administration, you can take the exam without completing the course work.
• Development consultant certification - This certification is available for individuals who are developing applications to interface with other SAP solutions. After you complete the necessary solution academy courses, you can take the technology exam to become a certified development consultant.

You can also earn SAP user certification which enables you to improve your SAP proficiency, increase your confidence as a user, and enhance your employability.
