SAP Certified Implementation Partner Associate - Concur Professional Expense

[yaren_genc]

Hi Experts,

We are a gold partner with SAP. Our customer bought the Concur product, and I want to get a certificate before starting the project.

What I am wondering is, is it necessary to be a Concur partner to take the certification exam?

If my company is not a partner with Concur, can I not take the certification exam? I read the relevant contents online and reached out to SAP Concur Training@Concur.com but I did not fully understand.

As far as I understand, we can only take the courses if the company we consult agrees to pay the bill, but what about the certification?

Appreciate it if you can assist with that.

@yaren_genc when you say "I want to get a certificate" are you looking to do the implementation for your customer who bought SAP Concur? 

I'm not quite understanding what you need the certificate for.

What I can tell you are these two things:

1. If you want to do an SAP Concur implementation for one of your customers, your company must be a Certified SAP Concur Implementation Partner. No exceptions.

2. You can take an exam for Advanced Configuration, however this is only for someone to get full site access to their own site, not a customer. 

I hope this clears things up for you.
