Is SAP HCM training/certification worth taking a risk and money?
I am based in one of the metro cities and have around 5 years of experience in HR-Recruitment field, current working with a big5 consulting firm. I sense a very slow career growth in my field and am planning to go for a SAP HCM certification. I checked with ATOS and they are charging a whopping amount of 4 Laks.
The amount is very high and also I fear of losing my current role. I am unable to decide shall I go ahead with my plan or shall I continue doing my current job.
I was also have 6 years of functional experience before coming into this field. I took a drop of one year, and studied for certification. I was based in a small town where there was just one good company into SAP. So I joined that, gained good knowledge and learned how to deal with the clients. Worked there for 3 years at a low salary (it was quite low. But in metros you have good options, so you might expect more, and this was 4 years back, so that time in small town like Indore, the salary was very low as compared to Indore). Now I am in Mumbai, and earning a very good package. It surely takes time, but within this span of time, your money will be refunded to you. If you get a good branded company, it can be repaid within a year.
So, I would suggest, do try for this, and clear your certification, which will give you added advantage. Do not bother if you get a small company at an initial level. Rather I would suggest to try for a small company first, as you get to learn a lot from there. In MNC, you will have limited scope. But if you go for a small company at an initial level, your learning will be good. But yes, package will be less. I feel at initial stage in SAP career, package should not be the constraint. If you do your work sincerely, and honestly, you definately get paid in future with a good reward.
So I would suggest, do go for the certification. If you cannot afford the classroom training, go for online training (which I had also done), it might be cheaper than the classroom training.
All the best, and do your best.

AnudHi Anud,
if you follow this link you will find under "support" the recruit to retire business processes that cover all aspects of HCM training & certification in the SAP context.
https://training.sap.com/shop/catalogue/by-business-process
Instead of attending in person training you can receive access to all learning content for self-study via SAP Learning Hub, which also includes instructor moderated Learning Rooms and access to training systems with SAP Live Access, helping you prepare for SAP Certification.

Job Opportunities after SAP HCM/HR certification and its value in the Job market
Hello Everyone,
I wanted to know the scope of doing SAP HCM/HR Certification.... PLEASE HELP...!!!
I have done B.Tech in computer Science in the year Aug 2012. After that i started my first job with Collabera Inc. as a Technical Recruiter in Jan 2013 at Vadodara (Gujarat) and still working.
I am now looking for a career change and interested in doing SAP HCM/HR Certification.
I would really appreciate if you can guide me through, and suggest me some good institutes which can provide SAP HCM/HR Certification.
Location is not a problem I can relocate anywhere in INDIA.
Thank you for supportDeepak,
Please read some of the posts which can be found at SAP Career Blog Links. Prospects for someone with no experience and just certification are poor, as you will see from the blogs behind the previous link. Please see Advice for Recent College Graduates (aka "Freshers").

Preparation for SAP HCM Associate Certification Exam
Hi,
I am preparing for SAP HCM Associate Certification exam, and I have got only five days in my hand.
I want to know how can I utilize these five days in preparation very effectively, basically on which portion of the syllabus I must give more importance.
I also want to know at what level the toughness of the questions are asked in certification weather it is direct questions/tricky questions or just basics questions.
I have tested my skills in www.daypo.net where I found the questions asked on this website for practice was very tough. I have scored only 34% out of 80 questions.
Currently I have four materials THR10_1, THR10_2, THR12_1 & THR12_2, is that there will be direct questions from this materials.
I want to pass the certification.
Can anyone please help me out.
Regards,
Kunal SinhaHi Kunal
I was going through the questions online, some of them are easy ones and some of them require hands-on experience in SAP HCM,
I am new to SAP HCM and planning to write the SAP HCM exam soon, The online sample questions for SAP HCM are mostly based on the practical knowledge of configuration, is there a book available through which I can practice real case scenarios so that I can have better understanding of SAP HCM to give the exam. Any suggestions and exam related info is appreciated.
Please reply.
Thanks so much

I have been a SAP HCM Payroll administrator for the past 6 years. I would love to get some SAP HCM configuration/technical training. Therefore I am thinking of doing the THR1e. However due to the recent changes i.e Success Factors, Cloud computing etc etc I am not sure what training course I should be doing which will be valuable in the future? Also if I choose the wrong course I will be wasting my time & money.
Your valuable advise is much appreciated as I must choose the right training course/s? would you please let me know what courses/training are relevant & valuable for future in the SAP HCM world?Hi
You need to extact attendance list first and then compare attendee list and the differenct will be absence.
for attendee list and for attendance there are standard reports available
NO adhoc query has not got this option.

SAP HCM Training and Event Management
I am setting up this functionality to track training records and show them as fulfilling qualification needs. From what I can understand from my research, you execute PV15 Follow up to create the history records and match to qualifications. However, I must be missing something because nothing is done. I enter the business event, select historically record business event and then click on data screen. I get the following:
Qualifications to be transferred
Attendee Qualification Proficiency
No qualifications were found which could be transferred
Actions for attendances
Attendee Relationship Business event/ Action
Business event type
No actions have been defined for attendees with regard to relationships
Other actions
Historically record business event
Confirmations of attendance: no automatic function has been defined
Yet I set up qualifications. Can you give me a direction or some resource to goto on this?Hi,
You have to maintain relationship (valid period) called u201CImparts 028u201D between course type object D and qualification Q to be impetrated. As result in follow up process system will show you the qualification to be transferred to employee qualification master data pa0024.

We have shift of watchman who has to work on Public holiday also. When we try to create absence in 2001 for that public holiday, we are getting error. We can not change Holiday Caleder for these 7 employee.

Hi Experts,
I have to add new location for Event.
I have created in pp01 tcode all locations. How to transport these location in Quality since there is not any Transport Request.
ThanksHi Archana! for specific objects transport use RHMOVE30 report; by selecting:
- object type and object ID
- uncheck 'Test'
- check 'Transport'
- select your task for transport in 'Task'.
Next screen, press Transport/Delete button to confirm adding this object to the selected task.
Additionaly, to transport an entire structure, you can use root objects + evaluation path. So, to transport a location structure, use:
- object type: F
- object id: (id of root location)
- evaluation path: F-F
Kind regards! -
SAP SD + CRM training & certifications
Dear all,
I am new to this forum & i am interested in getting through SAP SD and SAP CRM certifications, i am a little confused about the timeline for the courses, i will break my doubts into points:
1) Is SAP SD training/certification necessary in order to go through CRM training?
2) What kind of functional experience is necessary for both the certifications? How does inside sales profile (with exposure to CRM system) stand as far as domain experience is concerned?
3) Should i go for Back to back training's of SD & CRM or should i work in SD profile for some time & then opt for CRM? How will the back to back training affect, both positively as well as negatively?
4) Also, instead of SDCRM, will SDMM or SD+PP certification path be better? (i only have sales & marketing exp, no MM or PP exp)
5) I noticed that CRM course is Instructor based & it is for 15 days, other functional courses such as SD,MM,FI etc are 25 days, what might be the difference?
6) The CRM course is quite expensive, INR 3,30,000 ($7000+), is it worth to invest in an authorized CRM program?
7) Apart from the authorized training programs, where else can i get additional knowledge on SD & CRM? Also, i believe that its difficult to know all the business processes in your respective domain, how can i enhance my knowledge on this?
8) What is the difference between CRM 7 & CRM 2007 certifications?
i know i have asked a lot of questions under one post, but i would really appreciate advice on these questions
Thanks a lot in advance.

How to get a job being a fresher in SAP HCM
Hi.
Can anyone guide me.How can I get the job into SAP HCM Profile.
I am an MBA in Human resource. Along with 8 years of experience into the same HR functions. I have completed SAP HCM training from a local institute in the month of Jan this year. They were suggesting me to go for a fake experience letter to get the job into SAP. Which I refused to take.Coz I dint find ethically right to go for such thing. I have also uploaded my profile into job portals,where every job demands at least one end to end implementation should have done.
I am getting very impatient as am not getting any relevant job calls as per my profile . Can any one guide me How will I get the job in SAP HCM Profile.
Thanks
DeekshaDeeksha,
While more difficult, I applaud you and your integrity to be ethical in the process of looking for that first job. You are rare, and that should be commended.
This may not be what you are looking for, but do you have any opportunities to take an internship (sometimes at no pay, sometimes at lower pay, and often only for a season)? This will allow you to get some experience and also get your foot in the door with a company. From there, you will have an easier time selling yourself.
You have 8 years of experience in HR. Were you using SAP systems during that time? Would you be able to start off as a functional analyst or possibly a business analyst while looking for opportunities to take on tasks in the system to get professional experience with SAP HCM, as part of your transition?
These are just some thoughts that might help you.
I wish you well in your endeavors! Stay strong and keep your integrity!!
