Good to see the news ! Is this only for SuccessFactors Solution partners ? or allowed for all ie., Like SAP Certification all can apply. Please kindly clarify.

Thanks,

Hi,

The SuccessFactors Academy training, required for certification, is currently only open to Partners and therefore the certification is only relevant for this audience. Since there is limited configuration that a customer can do with their SF systems, the Academy courses would be of no value to them as they wouldn't be able to configure their own environments anyway.

Regina,

Is there any validity period for this certification/courses - I mean will there be delta training coming out once in a while and we need to get delta certified!!!

Please clarify.

Delta certification for SF is under discussion. No decisions have been made yet. We have prioritized creating the SAP exams first, then we will consider deltas.

Hi Regina,

I did my SF EC training from my company and so far i am working on PeopleSoft ERP as a functional consultant. I want to do certification on C_THR81_1405. So what steps i need to do for enrollment?

Hi Jignya,

Can you please let me know your experience on Employee Central certification exam? And do we need to go thorugh entire Implementation Handbook for MDF, Time Off and Position management or the E-learning content and Excercise will be sufficient to crack it? What I feel is Implementation Handbook gives indepth functionality of the product useful at the time of implementation. Kindly share your experience.

Also share the procedure on how you registered for EC certification?

Thanks for your help!!

Intro to SF Academy (THR80) is a mandatory pre-requisite for the EC Academy. You will not be permitted to register for THR81 without taking the pre-req.

Hello Deepti,

In order to take the exam, you also need to complete the THR81-Employee Central Academy course. You can register to take it as a Virtual class or you can complete the content found in the Learning Hub.

Hi Regina,

As individual participant can I directly appear for C_THR81_1405 certification without taking the training? If yes, what is the procedure, where I can register for exam and examination fees? If there is any link to register can you please provide the same?

Regards,

Hari

Regina Gama

Blog Post Author

February 11, 2015 at 1:44 pm

Hi Hari,

You can certainly take the exam without completing the training but you will certainly not pass. The exam is based on the content in the training courses. Perhaps you should consider taking the training via the Learning Hub. You can consume the materials at your own pace. You'll get access to all of the SuccessFactors Academy materials and not just the EC content.

To register for the exam, you first need to identify in what country you want to take the exam. Visit http://training.sap.com, then select your country (top-left corner of landing page). Since you can't register for exams on-line, you'll need to call the training centre for your country (phone # will be at the top of the page) or use the e-mail link to send them a written request to register. They will respond within a day or two.

Good luck.

Hi Regima,

I have few Qs regarding courses for which certification is not available and delta certification.

1) If the courses are completed in Learning hub before the certificate exam is available in march end/Apr or Jun, then will we be considered as Associate level Certified?

2) How does SAP differentiate between Learning hub course completion to Associate level certification as both give Learning Hub elearning certificate?

3) For each delta course do we have to take certification, and do we have to pay for each delta certification?

Thx

Shruti

Regina Gama

Blog Post Author

March 20, 2015 at 7:19 pm

Hi Shruti,

1) Yes, if you pass the final test at the end of the Academy course, you will be considered Associate certified (for courses without an official exam).

2) If I understand you correctly, these are two different things. A course completion in the LHub does not give you a certification. You must pass the final course assessment to be 'certified' in the product. If a certification exam exists for that solution, you must pass the exam as well. In the latter case, the final course assessment is just a review and will not be sufficient to receive official certification. A certificate of completion which you get after finishing a course on the Learning Hub is not the same as getting a Certification.

3) All certifications are moving to an on-demand cloud-based system. You will need to purchase a subscription to the Cloud Certification program (you do not need to have a LH subscription for this). The Cloud Certification subscription program is launching at the end of next week. Your annual subscription will allow you to take up to 6 exams*. The subscription fee is about the same as what you currently pay to take just one exam.

*If you take the same exam twice, because you didn't succeed the first time, this counts as 2 takes, so you would have 4 additional takes available to you for any other exam.

Certification FAQs

I hope I've answered your questions.

Hi Regina Gama,

I have bought the coupon for C_THR81_1405 certification, i will be able to use it right ?

Or Whether i need to re-book for C_THR81_1502 once the old test retired?

Delta exam means i need to take the full test again or can you please give more info on that ?

Hi Regina,

SAP Certification in the Cloud - I read that there are courses now (or soon) available for Customers (Cloud for Customers).This concept is live already? Customers can be certified in every SF module they want? During the certification training they will learn how to use the provisioning, right? And later as a Customer they don't will have access to provisioning? Could you please describe in a few sentences what's the intention and impact of the Cloud for Customer concept.

Hi Regina

I am planning to do the employee central certification - C_THR81_1502.

To be able to do that , I understand that i need to complete the courses - THR80, THR81, THR99E.

I just wanted to clarify the fee in doing the same. Iam an independent consultant and so

if I subscribe for the SAP learning hub - Customer edition, will this fee be sufficient for me to take up the said courses and appear for the examination?

or will there be any other fee ?

Thanks

May 5, 2015 at 12:30 pm

Hi Meena,

I'm an independent participant with access to SAP Learning HUB Customer Edition. With this you have access to all the SF learning materials. I would suggest you to go through THR80 - Intro to Academy and then go for THR81 - Employee Central. This Learning HUB is your 1 year subscription. No need to pay separately for each course

To take up certification, you need to subscribe for SAP Certification HUB. For details related to that check training & certification shop.

SAP Certification HUB - CER006 is INR 34,000

You can find the details here:

https://training.sap.com/shop/course/cer006-sap-certification-in-the-cloud-sap-certification-in-the-cloud-6-attempts-cer…

I started my preparation in March (self-paced learning) and took certification April 15th.

As per my understanding 120 hours of sessions should be enough as mentioned by SuccessFactors in the Learning HUB.

I think Learning hub subscription cost is not covered in 34000/-. The certification cost alone is 34K. But you can take multiple exams (max 6) with the same cost within an year.

Hello,

could you please help me with this issue? I have passed the final exam for Performance& Goals, within Learning HUB - THR82_PMGM_44.

I had 25 questions on the final exam, and at the end I got message that I have passed that exam. In the history view, I can see my certificate, and on that certificate writes: "

My name

has successfully completed

SuccessFactors Performance and Goals Academy

Completed on June 1, 2015"

Is that certificate valid? Is this considerd as Associate level Certified for me? Or not? Is there something else?

I haven't received any e-mail from credential manager...and I don't know if I should receive that e-mail or not? Do I have to do something more?

Please, if you could help me with this uncertainties?

Thanks in advance.

Thank you Vasily veru much for the answer. But please, one more question.

Can I pass this exam C_THR82_1411 via Learning HUB or not?

On the link that you sent to me, at that page I see that "This exam is available as part of the Certification Hub subscription".

Is it possible to take this exam via Learning HUB or not? Do I have to take that exam at SAP's?

Which are certificates that I can receive taking exams via Learning HUB?

Thank you for your help.

Natasa, the Certification Hub is another online system intended to provide certification exams without visiting SAP offices.

This is a subscription page.

Former Member

June 4, 2015 at 9:41 am

Hello Vasily,

thank you. Does this mean that I can take courses via Learning HUB, and that final exam is like "preparation" for the certificate.

But for that final exam, I must pay access to Certification Hub? When I pay access to Certification HUB, will I have oportunities to take exams and receive valid Associate certificate? Please tell me if I am right?

So, summary, I far as I understand, with access to Learning HUB, I have courses where I can learn, and beside that, I have to have access to Certification HUB (that is additional cost) and with that I will be able to take C_THR82_1411?

Thanks again!

Former Member

June 4, 2015 at 9:59 am

I wanted to ask you whether you knew the latest update to the certification hub programme as according to the table below, RCM exam should be available on the 31^st of July. Can you confirm whether this is still true?

Furthermore, Is there any way that I can do the Succession Management exam without having to do Performance & Goals as a Prerequisite? The reason why I ask this is because a year ago I passed the Succession Academy course in the legacy model but did not receive any certification with it.

Hello Corneil,

The RCM exam is still in development and will be available in Q4 2015 or Q1 2016.

Hello Elvetia,

The Delta exam for Employee Central (exam code: D_THR81_1505) will be available end of September 2015, as well as a new Associate exam (exam code: C_THR81_1505) for those who are new to the SuccessFactors ecosystem. If you have already taken and passed the Employee Central Associate exam for version 1502 (exam code: C_THR81_1502), then you will be eligible to take the Employee Central Delta exam for version 1505 (exam code: D_THR81_1505). Please confirm that you are registered in SAP Credential Manager so you will receive notifications when these exams are available. More details: Credential Manager

Regarding Performance and Goals - the exam for release 1411 (exam code: C_THR82_1411) is currently available in the Certification Hub: Certification Hub

A Delta exam will also be available for the THR82 exam. The schedule for this will be posted on SCN when this schedule is available.

Thanks for update Sheri!

Two questions:

Can C_THR81_1502 certified consultants skip D_THR81_1505 and pass the next delta (D_THR81_1508?) or Delta exams should be passed successively?
Do Delta exams count to 6 attempts of SAP Certification Hub? If I spent one attempt to pass C_THR81_1502, will D_THR81_1505 take another one?

Sheri Schaaf

July 22, 2015 at 2:35 pm

Hello Vasily,

The Delta exams are intended to test the most current knowledge of the delta changes to the software, so, no we do not encourage you to skip any of the Delta exams. (The Delta exams are 40-item exams, so less time is required to take this type of exam.)
Yes, the Delta exams do count as one of your 6 attempts within the yearly subscription to SAP Certification Hub.

Sheri

Do I understand correctly, that SAP Certification Hub subscription allows to maintain actual maximum 3 SF certifications assuming ~2 Delta's in the year?

It's the real problem for many consultants with more than 3 certifications.

Sheri Schaaf

July 22, 2015 at 2:52 pm

Hello Vasily,

Each Associate exam will not necessarily have two Delta exams each year, as the Delta exams are written when there are significant changes to the software that requires consultants to be educated and certified on these changes. Each Associate exam is examined and reviewed to determine if a Delta exam is warranted, based on the software changes that may affect the exam. The Delta exams are based on enablement available in Learning Hub so you have an opportunity to learn about the Delta changes before taking the Delta exam. Also, you will have 6 months to complete a Delta exam from the time that the exam is made available.

Hope this addresses your concern.

Hello,

Do you know when will be released the C_THR81_1505 ?

Also I would like to know if the exam based on Collection 52 will cover the same topics than collection 51 following the next syllabus

For example, in Collection 51 reporting is part of the syllabus but in Col52 this is not covered.

Thanks a lot for your help!!

Hello All,

In short, if we buy learning hub and apply for 2 certification like Associate and Delta,

and we dont use another 4 attempts in a year, then this 4 attempts will be gone as soon as learning hub expires, So either once we buy a learning hub we have to give 6 exams in a year although you want to give it or not otherwise the left 4 attempts will go aways with learning hub expiry date.

This is my understanding, Kindly correct me if i am wrong.

Thanks & regards,

BPP

Hello Bhushan,

Yes, you are mostly correct. If you purchase a subscription to the Certification Hub and you only use 2 exam attempts then you will lose 4 exam attempts when the subscription expires if you don't use all of the 6 exam attempts in the year of the subscription. This applies to Certification Hub, not Learning Hub. Learning Hub provides the education for a solution and is separate from the Certification Hub subscription. Certification Hub provides the certification exams.

I hope this answers your question.

Best Regards,

Hi Sheri,

Can a customer who will like to skill up his staff to be able to customise and set up external learners site and external jam site be allowed to attend the VLT for SF Learning and Jam. Also how do such have access to the demo systems. Do you advice such customers to sign up for SF cloud partnership?

Hi Sunday - Customers can attend the VLT classes however customers should be able to manage their environments through administration. We are increasing self-service through each release so you should not need any additional training. Customers do not have access to demo systems but do get test environments. We do not advise Customers to sign up for Cloud Partnership.

Hello Sheri,

Thank you for sharing valuable information.

As an individual without working with SAP Partner and without subscribing Learning Hub can I take SAP SuccessFactors certifications. If so after successful completion of certification am I eligible to work with SAP partners as SAP Certified Application Associate for SuccessFactors projects like implementations & Support.

Appreciate your response.

Thank you very much!

Hi Lakshmi - Individual consultants can become certified with a Cloud Certification Subscription. However the certification is based on the Academy training which is available via the Learning Hub or instructor led course offering. You would need to be affiliated with an SAP Partner in order to get access to demo instances and provisioning.

Thanks for Responding.

Currently I am SAP HCM Consultant, Planning to shift into SAP Success Factors area too.

1) To be clear can you provide more details on "SF Cloud Certification Subscription".

Question - can an Individual write the "Success Factors" certification without taking Learning Hub subscription for training.

If it so, can you please let us know the subscription cost only for the certification.

Dear All,

Please confirm if we can opt for certification CER006 without buying Learning Hub access?

I understand in this case we will not get provisioning id or access. What would be the implication of not having provisioning access?

Is there any difference in the Certification acquired through CER006 without provisioning) and normal Certification.

HI Bhushan,

You need a Learning Hub subscription to take the exams. You need Provisioning access to be able to setup a customer instance and access the system using Flex Provisioning when SSO is enabled. For some modules, some configuration is still done in Provisioning.

Hi Luke ,

What is the difference between provisioning and flex provisioning?

Flex Provisioning enables you to log into a SuccessFactors system that has SSO enabled (i.e. it bypasses the SSO). It is now available via Provisioning only.

Hi Sheri,

We have several consultants who took the original ONB academy/mastery training courses in person or instructor led before SAP Learning Hub was created. At that time SuccessFactors did not have an ONB certification, but if they did, these individuals would have been qualified for the Professional level certification. They opted in to have their cert records transferred from SF to SAP but they do not see an ONB certification in the credential manager account. Can these folks be grandfathered?

Thanks,

Hi Everyone,

I have one question regarding the way SF certificates can be carried out.

I understand that through Certification HUB we have the possibility to take online(remote) exams 6 times in a year - that's probably the most common way. But, is there a way to take exam C_THR82_1411 the same way as "standard" SAP HCM exams (in SAP Offices or through PearsonVue Testing center) - that would be one-time access to exam?

Thanks for the info!
