Role of a SAP Consultant?

I cleared my CA Final this November and am planning to take up a career in SAP. But the thing is, I do not have practical experience in this field. My articleship tenure mainly composed of Tax and Audit related work. My interest is in the advisory services and  I was kinda confused as to whether I should start applying or whether I should undergo any of the SAP certified courses before I do that? So would you recommend me to take up a certification course in a module like say FI from Genovate or Siemens and get to know the modus operandi? A brief & concrete descripttion of the role of a SAP Consultant would also help me because, basically from what I've heard from most of them who have had any SAP exposure (not being involved with the implementation in any way, though) is that 'They translate the business requirements of the clients to the programmers' and I found that to be pretty vague. I haven't really gotten a chance to talk to someone who has been in the implementation side of things. So, if you can throw some light on that, it would be great, so that I can have an idea of what I'm getting into.

Thanks and looking forward to replies

Hi Rajesh,

You don't need to do any certification course in SAP. If you have registered for next campus placement, I would like to tell you that many IT companies come in campus for SAP Profiles.

Just try to get into any of these. There will be an internal training wherein you will be able to understand basic concepts in SAP. Rest is just a matter of practice.

It took me just 2 months of working to get comfortable with SAP.

I am right now working in an Implementation Project based out of Canada.
