David Chaviano discusses with Suzanne Heiob, product manager of certification at SAP, about the recent changes to SAP certification. The changes include transitioning all certification-related information to the new SAP learning site, learning.sap.com. Additionally, SAP certification has shifted from being product-focused to being more role-based to align more closely with real-world job roles. Furthermore, the certification process now requires individuals to update their skills and extend their certification validity every 12 months. To facilitate continuous learning, SAP has combined its Learning Hub subscription with four certification attempts, access to latest content, live sessions, practice systems, and assessments. And of course, at the end of this episode, Suzanne shares her final words of wisdom with you.
