    1996 SAP ABAP Certification

    Format:
    Full-day, in-person exam at SAP America's Boston offices, covering both architecture and code

    Among the world's first to receive the SAP ABAP credential, in the same year SAP first offered the certification in the United States. The pre-online-exam era of SAP certification required physical attendance at SAP's own US offices for a full day of testing covering both system architecture and code. Holding this credential establishes Gareth's presence at the foundational moment of SAP's US developer ecosystem.
