SAP HANA Professional Certification ( P_HANAIMP_1)

[Former Member]

I have cleared my SAP HANA Professional Certification & would like to share my experiences in this blog  with the sap community

This certification tests your Hands on knowledge on SAP HANA. This is more for Solution Architects & consultants who had practical experience in all different areas of  HANA. This is based on HANA SPS05.

My Experience Background on SAP HANA :

I am a SAP HANA Distingished Engineer . ( Please refer to the link for more details on this program ) http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-32891 . I have been working on SAP HANA for more than 2 years . We are one of the early adopters & have already implemented around 8 Datamart projects & 1 BW on HANA implementation till date . I have also cleared the other two Associate  certifications ( C_HANAIMP_1 & C_HANATEC_1) on HANA  but would rate the HANA Professional certification as the best till date . It  tests your practical experience by going to very granular details

Note : This blog gives you information about the certification & it doesn’t guarantee the questions/topics which I have mentioned below would be part of the certification .

Please find attached link which gives more details on the certification
