Hannah Smalltree, Editorial DirectorFirst, consider if SAP certification is right for you. Keep in mind that certification can help you find a position, but it won't guarantee that you will find an SAP job. While any sort of education is valuable, it's a good idea to view that investment more as a long-term career helper than a short-term fix. If you can't afford to take that chance and invest in certification, you might be better off pursuing non-SAP options or attempting to secure an SAP Finance job without paying for certification.

If you can’t afford certification, but are willing to put in significant time and effort to master FI/CO, you can do it affordably on your own. There are a number of high-quality SAP Financials books available and you can find a lot of helpful online resources. It takes much more self-discipline to read books on your own rather than pay for training, but it's much more cost effective.
There are also various options for SAP certification -- you can go through SAP to get certified by them directly, or take certification classes through an SAP partner. If you want to learn more about SAP’s official certification program, listen to this podcast from SearchSAP.com.
