One activity, two hours, and seven blueprint areas that run from bootstrapping a runtime to extending an annotation-driven floorplan. The entry level label describes how deep each topic goes, and says nothing at all about how many of them there are.
Every other SAP credential asks what you can build. This one asks whether you can steer the people building it, across a single connected scenario that runs from methodology through go-live to user adoption. It also sits one character away from a different exam, which is worth checking before you book.
There is no item count for C_DBADM because there are no items. SAP delivers it as a single three hour System-Based Assessment inside a working HANA system, at a 73 percent cut score, across seven blueprint areas that run from in-memory architecture to a self-service migration into SAP HANA Cloud.
An associate credential with a cut score of 83 percent, assessed by putting you inside a working SAP Build environment and watching what you build. Here is the blueprint, the hard parts, and what fluency has to mean before you book.
There is no item count for C_FIOAD, because there are no items. SAP delivers it as a single system-based activity in a live-style landscape, two hours long, scored at 66 percent on whether the administration work was actually completed correctly.
Six of the seven blueprint areas are about running the service line of business. The seventh is a project delivery methodology, and its presence says a good deal about what SAP now expects an associate service consultant to be able to discuss.
SAP moved this credential to a performance-based format, and the result is unlike most certification exams: one extended activity, cleared at 60 percent, with every architectural decision weighed against the ones before it. Seven blueprint areas, a method tailored from TOGAF, and a credential that expires after twelve months.
Architecture, modelling, acquisition, query design, HANA integration, operations and security. Seven areas, no published weightings, and all of it assessed through one hands-on activity in a live style system at a 69 percent cut score.
SAP finished moving to performance-based certification in early 2026, and C_AIG is delivered entirely in that model: one guided activity inside a configured system, scored at 76 percent. Here is what the six blueprint areas ask you to build, and why fluency beats revision.
Reading the seven courses is still necessary and no longer sufficient. The assessment puts you in a configured system and marks the state you leave it in.
