About the Exam 


The SAP Certified Technology Associate - SAP HANA Cloud Provisioning and Administration certification proves that you can deploy, upgrade, and configure an SAP HANA Cloud database.

Associate Level


Information about the exam is published on the SAP Training website. This is also where you can book the exam (or get a Certification Hub subscription).

HC is the code for SAP HANA Cloud, ADM for administration. The C_ stands for the associate (consultant) level type exam.

Validity


You can check the validity of the certifications at training.sap.com/certification/validity.

For the certification FAQs, see

SAP Certification Hub


To take the exam visit SAP Training and select Access the Certification Hub

The hub is hosted by Questionmark. Here you can book your exam, (re-)schedule, check your appointments, and launch the exam.

For the complete exam list, see



Topic Areas


Exam Page


Information about the topic areas covered is listed on the exam information page together with the corresponding SAP training cours, HC200E for all but the basics, which are covered in HC100E.

However, an SAP Learning Hub subscription is not required as the content is also made available for free, time of writing, on the new SAP Learning portal (see below).






Note the small print: "SAP reserves the right to update the exam content (topics, items, weighting) at any time" make sure to check the exam page before applying.



Sample Questions


On the exam page, there is a link to a trial exam with 6 sample questions which closely resembles the real exam experience.

If it is obvious what the answer should be for all questions, you are ready to take the exam. If you have no clue, you might want to study some more.



How to Prepare


Take a Learning Journey on SAP Learning


Time of writing, the learning content is freely available on the new SAP Learning portal, presented as learning journey with 11 units taking 12 hours to complete.

The first four units cover the HC100e cours and overlap with the Administration and the Modeling journeys.


The units cover the same material as found in the course manual but in a format more suitable for self-study with short sections of text combined with videos and quizes.



Take a Training Course on SAP Training / SAP Learning Hub


For those with an SAP Learning Hub subscription, or with a budget to burn, you can also sign up for the e-learning course

This provides you with the oldskool format. You can download the manual as PDF for offline viewing.



Take a Learning Journey on SAP Learning Hub


There is also a learning journey on SAP Learning Hub (still).


When you pass the assessment test, you get a badge.



Additional Resources


SAP Help Portal


Although most material covered in the training courses is also documented "somewhere" in a guide on the SAP Help Portal, trying to pass the exam by studying the documentation is not the most effective approach.

However, as administrator, you are expected to be familiar with the documentation set so spending some on the Help Portal is time well spent.



SAP Developers


Some questions assume you are familiar with the user interface of the SAP HANA cockpit, the SAP HANA database explorer, and the SAP HANA Cloud Central web applications. Going through the tutorials on SAP Developers is highly recommended.

For the complete list, you can filter on SAP HANA Cloud but note that this will also includes tutorials  for the modeling and development tracks.



SAP Community

SAP PRESS


There is no SAP Certification Success Guide for the C_HCADM exam but there is e-book dedicated to SAP HANA Cloud which covers most topics but make sure to check the What's New for QRC 1-4 2021 to complete the picture.

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.
