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

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.

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 tahirhussain.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

Additional Resources


Documentation - SAP Help Portal


As integration developer you are expected to be familiar with the documentation but most of the material will be beyond the scope of the exam and in a format less suitable for study.

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.
