How to Prepare
SAP Training and SAP Learning Hub
The C_CPI certification is entirely based on SAP training courses and although not formally listed as a requirement, it will be challenging to pass the exam without taking any classes (be it in classroom or e-learning format).
The topic areas are covered in the following courses
- CP100 – SAP Integration Suite and SAP Extension Suite, Introduction – 3 days
- CLD900 – SAP Integration Suite – 3 days
There is some (minor) overlap between the topic areas of the C_CPE_12 exam.
If classroom training brings you bad memories, consider a SAP Learning Hub subscription. There is a trial edition available for you to try it out.
Learning Journey
The learning journey shows a visualisation of the courses to take. You can logon and mark your progress.
The tiles for each of the courses show the available formats: classroom and e-books.
Note that although recommended, the CP100 and CLD900 courses are not required. |
Besides a Certification Path journey, there is also a Learning Journey for the SAP Integration Suite itself, which references additional training options, like the free openSAP courses and the equally free developer tutorials (see below).
Sample Questions
On the exam page, there is a link to a sample exam similar to the real one (although referencing the previous edition for the application associate exam.
Coming up: a blog post where we will cover the sample questions in more detail.
openSAP
Included with the learning journey and great place to start are the openSAP courses on the topic.
- Accelerate Enterprise Integrations with SAP Integration Suite (2021)
- Simplify Integration with SAP Cloud Platform Integration Suite (2019)
Although beyond the scope of the exam, you might find the currently running ISA-M course of interest
Tutorials
SAP Partner Enablement | SAP HANA Academy
As the main focus of the exam is on the Cloud Integration, the video tutorials from the SAP HANA Academy by Tahir Hussain Babar and Jamie Wiseman on the topic are highly recommended.
In twelve short videos, you will learn how to set up a trial environment and how to create an integration flow, work with adapters, routing, and many other topics covered on the exam.

SAP Development Center
The hands-on tutorials from the SAP Development Center also provide a great learning opportunity.
Books
SAP PRESS
Although there is no SAP PRESS Certification Success Guide on for the SAP Integration Suite (yet), there are two excellent books published by SAP PRESS to prepare for the exam
- SAP Integration Suite by Christopher Aron, Piyush Gakhar, Shilpa Vij
- SAP Cloud Platform Integration by J. Bilay, Peter Gutsche, Mandy Krimmel, and Volker Stiehl

Over the years, for the SAP HANA Academy, SAP’s Partner Innovation Lab, and à titre personnel, I have written a little over 300 posts here for the SAP Community. Some articles only reached a few readers. Others attracted quite a few more.For your reading pleasure and convenience, here is a curated list of posts which somehow managed to pass the 10k-view mile stone and, as sign of current interest, still tickle the counters each month. |
Wonderful, thank you!

Kudos to you Sir 🙏
Great, thank you.
Hi,
thanks for this content. I recently started learning for this Certification and after I finished the e-learning of course CLD900 I tried to run the assessment. I had to figure out that the assessment is completely unrelated to the e-learning and is much more related to the twitter scenario explained in the E-book of CLD900 and you will have a hard time to answer the questions if you only did the e-learning before. Now I wonder if this is the same for the certification exam. Is this also mostly related to the twitter scenario of the e-book or to the "PO/slack" scenario in the e-learning? Does someone recently pass this exam and can answer this? Is it in generally true (also for other learning journeys) that one should have read/done both the ebook and e-learning before starting the exam?
Thanks for any advices.
Hi Tobias,
The latest edition of the SAP Integration Suite, C_CPI_14, will be primarily based on the free e-learning material provided on the new SAP Learning site
In case you have access to the SAP Learning Hub, best to answer the question in the Learning Room for the SAP Integration Suite as the moderator likely has first-hand experience.
Dear Denys,
Thank you for the detailed guide and videos, truly appreciate it.
Waiting for more blogs.
