ABAP Development Consultant Certification

Hi,
I am interested in obtaining the TAW12 / TAW12_04 SAP development consultant certification.  So I called the education hotline to find out the details.  Unfortunately, my company [which is one of the four large accounting firms] cannot afford to pay the $13,000 for me to take the two review courses [which last a total of 25 days] for the exam.  Is SAP really successful in today's competitive marketplace in charging such a ludicrous amount for such a short course?  I'm a bit surprised at the price tag.
Is there an alternative method for studying for this certification that is much, much cheaper? 
thanks-
Kevin

I know, it is expensive.  But people pay it, that's why they charge it.  There is some stuff on the internet, like sample questions, and such.  Do a google search.  Other than that, maybe read some new books, and re-read the old ones.

Rich Heilman

  • ABAP development for certification

    Hi all,
    When doing ABAP development in SAP certification which is coming under the Third Party Application Development, there it is given  like the development should be done by means of SAP ABAP Add-on development kit under a special ABAP Workbench Development license.Can anybody help me with it.Where to get the licence? how to apply it and the norms followed in custom development of rfcs.
    Regards
    Rohit

    Hi Rohit,
    You need to have an ABAP workbench development license to develop your custom BAPIs/RCFCs in your own namespace and ABAP Add-On Assembly Kit (AAK) to package and deliver your add-on component.
    To get the above license and sign up for an ABAP Add-on certification, please contact your regional Integration & Certification Center (ICC):

  • ABAP Development certification

    Hi all;
    I am certified as a support consultant for incident management for SAP business all in one, but I am thinking of having a career in ABAP Development, because I am into programming more.
    I have good basics in ABAP but I wanted to know how long it would take me to be an associate developer in ABAP, and what material I need to cover in order to make sure that I pass the exam with the code: C_TAW12_70
    Any advice will be great
    ~ Amal

    Hi,
    See this link for all the areas you need to cover:
    http://www.sap.com/services/education/certification/certificationtest.epx?context=[[C_TAW12_70|G]]|
    You would have to do all of these courses, and/or gain equivalent experience. That might take 2-3 years.
    The test itself is not that hard, so you might still get through after somewhat less experience. It is a multiple choice exam.
    cheers & good luck!

  • ABAP development license for integration certification

    Hello to all the forum members,
    My company is interested in certification some ABAP development that was developed for one of our costumers.
    The development was done using a developer license of the costumer and as we understood, ABAP development license is a pre-requisite to the integration certification process in order to receive your own name space.
    Could you please let me know if the costumer developer license is enough for us to start with the integration certification process.
    Thanks,
    Amit

    Hi Amit,
    I also have something I want to present as "Powered by NetWeaver".
    Maybe we can combine forces and marketing?
    please contact me at: [email protected]
    I will call you back.
    BTW, I live now in Canada...
    thanks,

  • From an ABAP developer to a functional consultant

    Hi,
    I need some advices to help me improve my work as a junior functional consultant. I have been an ABAP developer for 2 - 3 years and then I moved to the role of functional consultant.
    I have read that there is a higher probability to become successful as a functional consultant if you have a business background rather than a technical background...I have been moved to a junior functional consultant role for more than a year - I've been reading books on configuration and functional process flows and unfortunately the assignments on the project I'm working on are mostly specific developments rather than configuration of standard flows which gives me litlle exposure...
    What can I do to improve my functional skills and is it true that it is more difficult to become a functional consultant if we have a technical backgorund?
    Thanking in advance anyone who would reply.

    What can I do to improve my functional skills
    Gain experience and be open-minded. It's pretty much the only way to improve your problem solving and thus your "functional" skills.
    Is it true that it is more difficult to become a functional consultant if we have a technical backgorund?
    I don't think it can be expressed that vastly. I would personally always choose someone with a technical background over the one who talks about "Business" and essentially doesn't really know what he's talking about...
    By the way, have you tried the Career forums?:

  • ABAP Development and "End User License"

    Hi all,
    I'm happy to join to SDN!!!
    I newbe in the forum, and therefore I don't know if I post in the right section.
    I'm a Netweaver Architect and ABAP Developer.
    In the past I worked as java developer, and with other programming languages.
    I have a doubt: is it possible (or forbidden by SAP AG??) to develop an ABAP package (which, obiousvly, contains Z / Y Abap objects) and apply an "End User License" on it, i.e. on the ABAP code written? (I mean that the copryrights are mine, and I give an "End User License" to my customers (that buy the license), in order to get and run my abap code). I would avoid to sell my Abap package, but, if possibile, I would only give it according a "Use License".
    May I do this thing without any problems, or have I to consider other aspects, like ask to SAP to reserve a namespace, or obtain SAP Netweaver certification for my ABAP solution, or other things?
    (Infact the "End User License" that I mean is different from "SAP End User License")
    Please, let me know your opinion and how or who could solve my matter.
    Many thanks to all.
    Best Regards,
    Albert

    I am ABAP consultant having 9 years of exp. I want to do certification for ABAP for Hana.I found one certification with name SAP Certified Development Specialist - ABAP for SAP HANA (Edition 2014). In that i found below line written "This certification is issued to candidates who successfully pass the certification exam for the "SAP Certified Development Associate - ABAP with SAP NetWeaver" (C_TAW12_70, C_TAW12_71, C_TAW12_731, P_ABAP_70)."
    Now my question is that I have not done any prior certification on ABAP. So Can i directly go for the ABAP for Hana certification or i have to first clear Abap with netWeaver first.

  • Development Consultant SAP NetWeaver 2004

    Hi,
    I am a certified ABAP consultant with Certification 2000.  I would like to upgrade my certification to Development Consultant SAP NetWeaver 2004 - Application Development Focus ABAP.  Does anyone know where I can find study material for the certification exam?
    Thanks.

    Hello Corina
    I have taken both exams. Even at the Netweaver exam (6.40) which I passed 10 month ago a big portion of the questions were dealing with "basic" stuff. I you have not taken any exams yet I like to mention that you do not have to write down any answers but it is a multiple-choice test:
    - either a single answer is correct (then you will see radio-buttons at each possible answer) or
    - serveral answers are correct (checkboxes)
    Sample question: "Which modifications are possible with sorted internal tables?" => Of course you cannot append to such a table but must insert your entries.
    So, if you have a firm stand on BC430 (ABAP Dictionary), have developed quite a lot (-> BC400 basics of ABAP) and have some general understanding of ABAP-OO (BC401) you will be on the safe side. Also, have a general knowledge of the SAP Technology (guess corresponding to BC050) like the client-server technology.
    Official documents like the BC401 documents cannot be shared because SAP would not allow this. In any case, you will find plenty of information in the SAP online help.
    Finally, I highly recommend the weblog <a href="/people/thomas.jung3/blog/2005/05/15/abap-46c-to-640-delta-training 46C to 640 Delta Training"</a> by Thomas Jung. You need not to know these topics in detail, yet they might be useful for some questions.

  • ABAP development license and AAK install

    Hello,
    What is the ABAP development license? Is it a license that has to be registered within our SAP system that our development is done on? Or is it just a license number that we reference on our test reports, certification etc? Just wondering what work, if any, is involved here.
    AAK install. Is this just a typical install through SAINT?
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Scott

    Hello Roy, Scott and Abraham,
    Yes, indeed you will have to maintain such a development landscape, purchasing development license is not sufficient. Every customer Add-on must be delivered using a development namespace (i.e. /ABC/<name_of_object>), it is not advisable to delivered Add-on in customer namespace (i.e. starting with Z***).
    AAK or Add-on Assembly Kit will be delivered to only those vendors who sign up for ABAP Add-on certification with ICC.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Srini

  • Starting Webdynpro ABAP development

    Dear Experts,
    I am a Portal Consultant and I know Webdynpro Java. I am planning to learn Webdynpro ABAP.
    Could you please provide me the details about actual Webdynpro ABAP development?
    I have seen some applications and they used "Service Call" method to execute BAPI's and setting Import parameters.
    In some applications they used normal development.
    Could you please provide which is suitable( through Service call or normal development) and majarity of the people can use?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Vijay

    Hi Vijay,
    Service call is required basically to get data from systems other than the calling systems i.e. a RFC call. Though you can use BAPI's to get data from the same system. (FM must be RFC enabled to use this functionality)
    You can also call normal FM, but for that you don't have to create a service call.
    Suppose if you want to use some standard BAPI's or FM just by creating service call you can use in your application.
    check this example how to use BAPI,

    Hello Venkat,
    Exactly what kind of "material" are you looking for? The following site, https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/developerareas/ep, has a Sneak Preview of SAP NetWeaver for downloading and eLearning material for you to go through to prepare yourself by going through the sample.  Does that help?

  • Sap abap developer or java developer

    hi
    I am an engineer (fresher) and i have two job offers in my hand one is java/j2ee developer and other is sap abap developer
    i am not able to decide which one to choose and i have no idea that which one is better than other.
    So if u were in my place then which offer will you accept
    Thanks
    Viron

    Hi Viron,
    I had to make a similar decision myself a number of years ago. Based on my personal experience I would say the following:
    *ABAP Vs Java*
    - ABAP  is a business procedural language, only used with SAP. Therefore you need to ask yourself the question do you want to restrict yourself to working with one product. Also more importantly do you enjoy writing business related reports? i.e. if you would prefer to program games on mobile phones or be involved in developing a cutting edge software product then ABAP is not for you.
    -  As a general rule ABAP jobs command a higher salary over Java (in the UK anyway) as it is a more specialised skill. There are far more Java developers around.
    - You may feel like ABAP is a step back after programming in Java. Although ABAP supports object orientated programming, web services, web portals ect.. this is not commonly adopted. There is of course a disclaimer here as if you are going to work for a consultancy on green field SAP implementations then you are far more likely to adopt and use the above technologies. However if you are working on an older SAP system or in a support environment most companies are still using the standard R/3 Interface i.e. no web portal and the majority of their reports have not been developed using OO Programming Techniques.
    - You could get the best of both worlds if you can get a job as a webdynpro Java developer in SAP. Then pick up ABAP on the side. Having knowledge of both languages would make you highly employable as a web portals developer. 
    - If you are strongly motivated towards Business Application Programming but would prefer to keep your options open to move into another area later in your career. Then you could look at working with Oracle Fusion, it is a software product based on Java. It is also the 2nd largest ERP tool on the market just behind SAP. This way you are building on your Java programming skills but not restricting yourself to working with an ERP software product in the future.
    Hope this is of some help.
    Regards,
    Phil

  • Voting Thread for the SAP NetWeaver ABAP Developer Edition for Linux

    Hi Everyone,
    as Mario Herger suggested in the discussion to his Blog [New Community Developer License is available|/people/mario.herger/blog/2010/01/20/new-community-developer-license-is-available] I start the topic requesting a SAP NetWeaver ABAP Developer Edition for Linux.
    Best regards
    Gregor

    I think having a pre-packaged VMWare machine running on Windows or Linux would be great as it would help a lot of the non-Basis consultants get a system up and running. Perhaps even offer it as an AMI package on AWS so that hardware is not an issue.
    I'd also like to see the traditional installation packages offered as many technical consultants use the build as a process to look at installation issue and post installation configuration.
    I think both the pre-built and build it from scratch approaches have an audience here on SDN and I'd like to see both being offered.
    In fact I'm just looking at the new license options one of which come with the DVD's which is ideal but at a price!
    Thanks,
    George M-A
