Hi Vivian,
I think you have a good background for SAP FI and SAP CO.
The answer about going to any FI course vs FI course from an authorized SAP institute depends on whether you would like to get certified after the course and in which country you live. If you clarify these two questions, I will be able to offer advice.
Yes, there are bundle FI+CO courses but they will be very extensive (a lot of content to be covered). You don’t have to learn both FI and CO. You can start with just one of these modules. Also, you can start learning CO first (before learning FI).
I hope it helps!
The eligibility depends on geographical region. If you want to write certification in Asia (India and other countries), you either need to complete the official SAP HANA training course before the certification (from an authorized training provider) or have experience as an SAP HANA consultant in a company that has a status of SAP partner.
The certification is usually valid until the next major release of software that brings significant changes to how it works. After the new release, SAP might offer a newer version of certification for SAP HANA.
I hope it helps!
Hi,
Have you checked this post: How to Choose SAP Module? I think that in your case you should really decide based on your interests because you have educational background for both FICO and HCM.
I hope it helps!
Hi, yes, SAP FI/CO seems to be very appropriate for your background. Have you also considered a career of an auditor of IT systems (including SAP)? All large audit companies (Big 4) have groups that specialize in technical and security audit of SAP systems. There is a demand for such services from customers that use SAP ERP and want to make sure that this software is run and managed properly. How many years of audit experience do you have?
Are you good in programming? Do you like it? If yes, I would recommend to look in the direction of SAP ABAP module. SAP ABAP is the programming language for SAP systems. And your knowledge of C and Java will be very beneficial in learning SAP ABAP.
I hope it helps and let me know if you have further questions!
I think that you can go for almost any course. I’d recommend to have some background in finance for studying SAP FI or SAP CO, so perhaps you shouldn’t go for these modules unless you are willing to make an extra effort of learning at least basics of financial accounting. Apart from FI/CO, you are well-suited to choose any other SAP module. For example, you can get started with our free SAP SD course (sales & distribution).
Hi Rojo,
Yes, you are right – usually people who go for SAP FI/CO training have some prior knowledge of accounting. I also understand your situation – it must be really painful to realize that you can’t go back and refund your money.
But from my point of view, your situation is not hopeless. I know many SAP FI consultants that only had a degree in information technology (and no experience in accounting) when started their careers in the SAP field. They had to learn accounting in parallel with learning SAP.
My suggestion is that you should try to do a similar thing that these people did – start learning basic financial/accounting skills in parallel with learning SAP. I don’t know where you are located but for sure you can find many free accounting courses online. For example, I recommend to try accounting courses at Coursera.
You don’t need to be an expert in accounting for being and SAP FI/CO consultant. Basic knowledge of financial accounting should be enough to get started. And with more experience with SAP FI/CO, you will also be more knowledgeable about accounting.
I hope that my answer helps and wish you good luck with FI/CO training and career!
Hi! For B.Com graduate a good option could be SAP SD (Sales and Distribution) module. You can check various paid and free SAP SD courses here: SAP SD Training.
I’d recommend SAP FI training or SAP SD training for MBA graduates.
Usually, there is no big difference in salary of SAP consultants depending on their specialization (SAP module). So, you can choose any SAP course that is most relevant to your background.
Hi, I think that for FICO it is nice to have some background in finance and accounting. Do you know accounting? Another option is to consider SAP SD (Sales & Distribution) or SAP CRM (Customer Relationship Management) modules.
You should definitely for SAP QM module because you already have some end-user experience. It will help you a lot in the starting the career of SAP consultant!
I recommend you to have look at our directory of SAP training providers in India. It can be found here: https://erproof.com/sap-training/location/india/. The fees will vary depending on training institute but you can get a general idea about the prices by reading this article: SAP training cost.
