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.
Four points may look like rounding. On an assessment where a task either completes correctly or does not, it is an instruction about how evenly the seven blueprint areas have to be covered.
Employee Central Core and Position Management are two configuration areas taught in two academies on a platform layer taught in a third. Candidates prepare for one and sit all three.
A single connected activity can reach across modelling, story design and planning at once, which means being strong in six of the seven blueprint areas is not a safe position.
C_MDG replaced a long recall paper with a single guided scenario, and the seven blueprint areas all sit behind it. A reasoning-first read of the SAP master data governance credential.
There is no question count on C_S4EWM, because the assessment has no questions in the sense candidates remember. One connected activity, seven blueprint areas, and a 65 percent cut score on completed work.
