Question regarding career in SAP?

Question

I am a Post Graduate in Commerce and have 5+ years experience in Accounts Payable,Accounts Reconcillation working at an MNC BPO in India.I heard about SAP .I did some basic research as to what it is,I still have some questions,
1.I am not really interested in writing code so i belive I can probably learn FI/CO module(since i have 5 exp. in accounting and a post graduation in commerce)is that right?
2.I am not an Engineer,do I have to be an Engineer to get a job as a FI or a CO consultant in India?.In India, i belive to a software job one needs to be either a Engineer/MCA/MBA.I dont want to jump into SAP and then reliase that it was not ment for me in the first place coz i'm not an Engineer.
3.With my 5 years experience in non SAP FI/CO job,will i be considered as a fresher?I keep hearing this word domain experience quite often in SAP jobs?what is it?Can i consider my 5 years exp. as a domain exp?if not what is my 5 years exp. called in a SAP job market

Answer 1

Looks pretty good. After a training you can start as a Jr FI-Co consultant. Over 2 years of experience you should have a great market value.

SAP Training where to start
A Lot of people wonder whether they should follow a SAP training in order to start their SAP career as a consultant.

The key question is to get experienced in SAP and not if you have followed a SAP training.
When you follow a SAP training you get a lot of concepts about the structure of SAP and functions of SAP.
However a SAP training is not giving you any information about what you should do as a consultant. That is why it is better to get experienced on SAP as a key user before you start any SAP training on your own. If you already know the SAP system as a user, then what you need to know is the customizing of the functions. The SAP training will really help you in becoming a SAP consultant.
