SAP certification

Some facts found when I did the research about SAP certification.

1) You can appear the SAP certification exam :
a) You can appear if you attend the SAP Course. Once you appear the SAP certification partners like Siemens or Genovet or NIIT , but it cost around Rs3.5 to 4 lacs depending the module.
b)You can also appear the exam by attending the online course, wherein, you get all book materials same as classroom. This costs around Rs1.5 lacs form the same educational partners.
c) You can prepare yourself and appear the exam in Middle east or Europe or South East Asia without undergoing the certification course which is mandatory in India.
d) Heard that, in India as the demand is high, SAP certification can be only done, if you undergo the certification course with authorized centers.
or You must prove with verifiable two years work experience with some company who can give you a letter for the same.

But in other countries like Middle East, South East Asia and Europe, without the above condition, one can directly appear the certification exam.

One can easily get the books in the shops or get from others who appeared already, and you can get some online authorized SAP server IDES( Internet Education demo server) server or heard that one can load the same in their laptop by paying some 1500 bucks.

In case, you decided to appear the certification course, you can reduce the cost by not taking some papers which is meant to add on the cost or squeeze your pocket like SAP01, internet reference links so on which would add you easily around Rs 1 lac.
