You are encouraged to listen to the entire interview to learn valuable information. Here are highlights from my 9-minute interview with denys.kempen (see below).
🤔 SAP BTP Certification (What)
Andrew: Today I am interviewing Denys van Kempen so that he can share his expertise in SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP). Denys is well-known in the SAP Community for keeping up on what is new and sharing with others what he learned as well as his experience.
You may have read his blog Get Certified: SAP Business Technology Platform | SAP Certified Associate | Tutorial Video or taken his tutorials in the past.
🏅 Learn New Things & Get Recognized (Why)
Andrew: What are your thoughts on certifications in general, and why?
Denys: It's just a great way how you can learn new things. You can compare it to when you want to run, and you don’t just sign up for a 10k. You start with goals first. It is a way to get motivated as well as to help you set a goal. I’ve been doing this for a while and have gotten many certifications over the years. So, for me personally, it has been a way to reach my personal goals.
Andrew: Certifications are unique and findable. Having on your resume updated with certifications may help you. People see certifications and they know that you have experience. If you are new to the developer support system, what does it cost and where do I start?
Denys: A great way to approach is a learning journey. In the past there was a significant cost to get certified. For BTP certifications there is a new learning site called learning.sap.com. There you can find a list of certifications. New ones are being added regularly. What is important is that all the training is free which I think is excellent.
💼 What’s Next (How)
Andrew: SAP TechEd is our annual technical conference. I encourage everyone to seek this out. This video is an introduction to the whole concept of certification and what it means in the context of SAP BTP. Denys, what should our listeners check out first?
Denys: Definitely. I recommend that you start by looking at Free SAP Online Courses | SAP Learning to see what is most interesting for you.
Andrew: That’s easy. Thanks Denys. We invite you to follow the upcoming video series to get educated on the different certifications that are available. We will get into the meat of each certification.
