Am not going to search job outside once I done my successful certification planning to move internally within company is this right plan?
How long do I need to prepare and appear for certification?
Vinod,
Breaking into the SAP job market for someone with no or very less SAP experience (1 or less years) is difficult. If your current employer is ready to assign you to an SAP job, after certification, then it is a GREAT opportunity.
You say that you have very little exposure to SAP, then preparing for consultant certification is a daunting task, it would depend upon preparing by yourself or by enrolling in an online unauthorized SAP SD training course. I prefer to get trained in this type of online training, it would cost some where around 30K INR. With it the chances to pass the certification exam increase exponentially.
Study material - Get hold of TSCM60 and TSCM62, these are helpful PDFs for SD certification.
