The traditional path to certification used to be by going on the various component SAP training courses at training centres over a long period of time, followed by a ‘bootcamp’ to prepare candidates for the exam. This process was often prohibitively expensive for the individual and training course scheduling may not have been relevant to the projects consultants were engaged on.

Nobody has a monopoly on knowledge. A much more successful and organic approach to certification is to set training and certification goals based on projects being worked on (or likely to be), and supplement formal training with knowledge transfer from colleagues who are subject matter experts in areas of interest.

Every Helixr SAP consultant who is working on internal and/or external engagements to a greater or lesser extent gets the opportunity to pick up new skills or use new technology that will encourage them to learn and gain multiple SAP certifications on the journey. Helixr encourages a collaborative team culture and team members share their knowledge and arrange training sessions for colleagues as a matter of course, which are targeted towards certification

In addition, there are multiple ‘certification dumps’ out there from reputable education companies to supplement the organic training which is part of life at Helixr.
