Independent, reasoning-first practice for the SAP® C_ADBTP SAP BTP Administrator certification, aligned with the 2026 System-Based Assessment format.
Who it's for: SAP Business Technology Platform administrators, consultants, and developers — and cloud-focused practitioners moving into a BTP operations role — who want a recognized associate credential proving they can set up, secure, connect, and govern SAP BTP environments as a contributing member of a platform or implementation team.
The SAP® C_ADBTP certification verifies that you can set up, operate, and govern SAP Business Technology Platform environments as a working administrator rather than only describing them in theory. Its scope reaches across the platform's account model and cockpit, the Cloud Foundry, Kyma, and ABAP runtime environments, identity and access management with SAP Cloud Identity Services, platform connectivity through destinations and the Cloud Connector, configuration and automation via the CLI, boosters, Automation Pilot, and Terraform, plus observability, high availability and disaster recovery, DevOps enablement, and cost and consumption management. Delivered as a System-Based Assessment, it asks you to complete a guided, hands-on activity in a live platform, so it measures applied administration skill instead of recall. The credential is pitched at an intermediate, project-participation depth for administrators, consultants, and developers who will run and support real BTP landscapes.

The blueprint areas to focus your preparation on.
Positioning SAP BTP within the wider SAP strategy and working with the account model through the cockpit — subaccounts, directories, entitlements, and service subscriptions — while establishing a governance model and understanding administrative responsibilities and guidance resources.
Describing and managing the platform's runtime environments — provisioning and operating Cloud Foundry, administering Kyma runtimes on Kubernetes, and managing SAP BTP ABAP environments — so multi-runtime landscapes are set up and maintained correctly.
Managing users, identity providers, authorization models, and role assignment across BTP, Cloud Foundry, Kyma, and the ABAP environment, and operating SAP Cloud Identity Services for authentication and identity provisioning, including login customization and provisioning systems.
Analyzing connectivity on SAP BTP, configuring destinations, and installing, configuring, and operating the Cloud Connector to link cloud applications and services with on-premise systems, including access control, backups, monitoring, and high availability.
Using setup and automation tooling — boosters, command-line interfaces, kubectl for Kyma, and SAP Automation Pilot — and applying infrastructure as code with Terraform to provision and manage SAP BTP resources repeatably through configuration files, variables, and reusable modules.
Explaining the platform's observability strategy and using central and local monitoring tools to keep services healthy, alongside high availability and disaster recovery concepts that keep BTP workloads resilient and available.
Applying DevOps practices on SAP BTP — CI/CD, transport management, and integration with SAP Cloud ALM — and managing the commercial side of the platform through cost and consumption analysis, balance statements, and contract entitlement transparency.
The SAP learning-journey courses this certification draws on.
Operating SAP Business Technology Platform

Exploring DevOps with SAP BTP
Introduces how to apply DevOps principles on SAP BTP following SAP's recommended approach — CI/CD fundamentals, the BTP services that support DevOps, setting up delivery jobs and transports, integrating with SAP Cloud ALM, and observing running applications.
Introducing SAP Cloud Identity Services
Guides you through the Identity Authentication and Identity Provisioning services — exploring authentication, customizing the login process, configuring provisioning systems and transformations, and managing identity entities across SAP BTP accounts.
Getting Started with Terraform on SAP BTP
Covers the fundamentals of infrastructure as code with Terraform on SAP BTP — preparing the setup, building and applying a first configuration, inspecting state, using variables and locals, provisioning a Cloud Foundry environment, and extracting reusable modules.
