Hi, my name is Denys van Kempen, SAP HANA Academy.
You are watching a video tutorial that is part of a series about the SAP Business Technology
Platform certification
SAP Certified Technology Associate - SAP HANA Cloud Provisioning and Administration.
This tutorial provides an introduction.
This video was recorded in July 2022.
For the latest tutorials on the topic, please check the playlist.
Here we are on the new SAP Learning website, learning.sap.com, with free training material
(learning journeys) for the BTP certifications.
For HANA Cloud, three certifications are available.
This is the same as for the HANA platform on premises.
We have HCDEV, a certification for development associate, HCMOD for modeling, working with
calculation views, and HCADM for administration, and this will be our focus for this series.
80 questions, 3 hours, a generous 68% cut score, which means you need to get 54 out
of 80 questions right, or, in other words, you can get 26 questions wrong and still pass.
The topic areas, we cover this in separate tutorials each,
introducing the platform and HANA Cloud (there is a typo, this should be singular)
getting started with the trial
provisioning, creating service instances, that is
the tools, HANA cockpit and database explorer
database or instance management
and security and user management.
You can go through the training material, 11 units, 12 hours, which we will present
here in a more condensed format, in this video tutorial series.
For those new to SAP certification exams,
you can take a look at the sample questions.
This is not to test your knowledge, there are only six questions, but to familiarise
yourself with the exam experience, I guess you would say.
Short questions, short answers, this is not a quiz testing your command of the English
language.
You can flag questions.
Typically the advice would be to flag all questions you are not sure, you need to guess,
you need a bit more time.
There is no penalty for wrong answers,
There are two correct answers to this question.
You cannot answer three but you can answer only one.
So beware.
