Success rate for ABAP certification

Hello Everybody,
I'm upbeat on taking the ABAP certification from Siemens. But I'm quite apprehensive about the course because of my background. I've no programming experience so far . I completed my MS in VLSI from Canada a month before and I'm studying ABAP from a local instititute.
Could you anyone pls suggest me that how much is the success rate for a person who is totally new to programming. Also can I go ahead with the certification.
all your comments are invaluable..
thanks,
karthikeyan

karthikeyan,
I have a different view on the topic, and would like to share it with you.
I don't think that going for ABAP at this point is the best move to do (Specially if you live in Canada). The main reason for that is that ABAP tasks are being constantly outsourced to Asia (and as you can see from the forums - there are plenty of ABAP gurus out there). If you want to be a programmer, then i would opt for a Java certification. If you want do something related to SAP and you are starting from scratch i would recommend on Portal and XI (exchange Infrastructure), both are more in demand that ABAP, and are "hotter" in the market.
My two cents,
Gili

  • Needed software for ABAP certification training

    Hi All,
    I am a software developer. I'm new to SAP, but exited about working hard to become an SAP Development Consultant. I plan to take the courses
    TAW10_54 ABAP Workbench Fundamentals
    TAW12_52 ABAP Workbench Concepts
    which end with a certification test for
    Development Consultant SAP NetWeaver 2004 – Application Development Focus ABAP
    I think I will need to have my own access to the development tools for my training outside the classroom. I have found that there is a download: SAP NetWeaver 7.0 - ABAP Trial Version. My questions are:
    - Is this download what I need to set up a development environment for training and testing the skills from these courses?
    - Is there som other way to get access to working tools for certification training needs?
    I will be very grateful for any info/tip on how to test Netweaver application development using ABAP.
    Best Regards,
    Inge

  • How to prepare for ABAP certification?

    Hi,
        I'm currently pursuing my ABAP certification. I've completed the training course and I've started to prepare for the certification. I've heard from a lot of people that the certification exam is really tricky and difficult to get through. A lot of well prepared people whom I've known, have failed to clear the exam. I'm not sure as to how the preparation should be. Do I complete the topics with higher weightage first and then move on to the lesser ones (or) do I just go through the topics as per the order in the training material???
       I need your guidance as to how to prepare effectively for this certification.
    Any other suggestions apart from the two mentioned would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!!!
    Regards,
    Deepak.M

    Hi,
    Materials about certifications are confidential and not to be discussed and also shared.
    Its against the RULES OF ENGAGEMENT.
    Kindly dont ask regarding certifications... better consult the SAP CERTIFICATION Partners like SIEMENS.

  • Preparation for abap certification C_TAW12_731

    Hi, I'm interested in getting the certification of ABAP Programing C_TAW12_731, but I understand that this is for the last version of Sap NetWeaver so I find this book http://www.amazon.com/SAP-Certified-Development-Associate-NetWeaver/dp/1592294359/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1410384823&sr=8… butit seems to be for Sap Netweaver 7.0
    My Question is Where Can I find books to learn about the 7.31 version of Netweaver ?
    Thanks in advance!
