Need suggestion - sap fico certification

04 June 2013

Hello Friends,

I need your help/suggestion for my carrier path.

To brief you, I am CA by profession and have around 7 years of experience in banking. My last role was Assistant Manager with ICICI Bank, UK PLC. I relocated from London in 2011.

Since last 1.5 year I was on maternity break and now I am planning to start again by changing the industry and profile. For this I am planning to do SAP FI course and want an entry in IT industry

Could you please help me to understand that should I go for SAP FI certification?

If yes, then from which institute(like genovate or seed or delphi) and what will be the chances of job after the certification?

Any pointer would be of great help.

Many Thanks

CA Swaradni Kulkarni Sidhaye

Hi,

Doing an ERP at this stage would be easy as a pie!

Coming to your question, a certificate from any leading SAP trainer

has no much weightage. A CA seeking an entry in ERP is gauged

on their ability to co relate the functional domain (supposed to be handled

by you) and the system interfaces & flow. Consider doing SAP from an

industry expert. By this I mean from a person who knows sap like the

back of his hand - atleast 10 years of involvement in the erp industry.

First opportunity post sap course could be tedious, definately not easy

as shooting fish in a barrel.

Once you get your foot in the door for an implementation then there is

no looking back. One would be flooded with offers.

My write-ups (in the articles section) on this website would definately give

you an insight. Let me know if you've any questions or if you need contact

of a sap trainer.

goodluck!
