A candidate who has failed at an examination three times for a release may not attempt that examination again until the next release. A candidate may not retake an examination until three months after the failure. Before admission to the same examination a third time, the candidate must produce evidence of training suitable to rectify the gaps identified in the candidate's competence at previous examinations. SAP does not undertake that candidates can retake an examination for a particular release. Retake candidates may have to attempt the examination for a later release.
Candidates pay a fee for all retakes.
Regulations Candidates pay a consultant certification fee for admission to the examination. This certification fee covers the examination, assessment, and, for successful candidates, the certificate. For some identified SAP training courses, the listed course fee includes the certification fee. Where the examination is offered and conducted by SAP, the regulations for participation in SAP training courses apply. In case of a serious infringement of the examination rules, all certificates that the candidate concerned has been awarded will be invalidated and the candidate will be excluded from further examinations.
