Does it have good placement record?digitized said:Siemens Information Systems Ltd is the best training institute that provides SAP certification courses. But be prepared to shell out 2.5 lakhs for the certification course excluding examination fees. I have done the course on PM module, although it was sponsored by my company.

I think you meant career. Anyway, most/all freshers who get certifications in ERP are ignored by most companies. Why? without functional experience, certifications like SAP will not hold much water.
Get a job, preferably in an organisation that implements SAP. Get trained as an end user (your company will do that for you) and work with them through atleast 1 implementation lifecycle. Maybe 1 to 3 yrs.
This is when you should consider a certification. Once done it should help you get a new job (in the same company or another) as a SAP consultant or some position where you are responsible for designing and implementing solutions using SAP (or other ERP software) from scratch.
Honestly, I don't believe in certifications. Neither do most in the industry. You're work experience in your designated functional areas will take you further than certifications.
MOST IMPORTANTLY - Be very wary of SAP training institutes in India and what they say. Their job is to make a quick buck selling certifications. Certifications that hold very little value without work experience.

Right said Keith, the most important thing that counts is implementation experience, especially in the SAP domain. Although I am involved in it, the other companies will not give me much value unless I have gone through 1-2 implementation cycles, say around 2 years of experience in the SAP functional/technical (ABAP) domain. After that when I do the certification, the job options are much better.
So my advice to you is, get in a company which is a SAP implementation partner, get involved in SAP from scratch. You may be involved from the project beginning (Business blueprinting stage) or in post-implementation support, but that does not matter. Get around 1.5 to 2 yrs of experience, then do the course in Siemens for the certification. Then you will go places...
Pls do not count count on placement record of any training institute, not only SISL. Ultimately you have to get that dream job of your own by your own.
i definately will inform if i make it to any of the company supporting SAP.iinfi said:3-4 months back i had attended a seminar at Nehru Center, Mumbai. a few companies had come and were telling everyone about their company achievements and the type of people they needed.
L & T Infotech person was talking about SAP. Here he was telling us "Whichever stream you come from, whatever your background may be, we at L&T Infotech(SAP) have something for everyone."
so you will need to post your resume at their website and they will call you if they are intrested.
gud luck.
do tell us if u manage to get into any company in SAP platform.
