The SAP® C_THR95 certification confirms that you hold the core skills needed to configure and operate career development, planning, and mentoring functionality within SAP SuccessFactors Succession & Development, rather than merely describe it. Its scope spans the platform foundations an implementation depends on — provisioning, role-based permissions, the succession data model, People Profile, and the Metadata Framework — then moves into the module itself: job architecture with skills and competencies, development goal plans, the career worksheet and role-readiness forms, the opportunity marketplace, learning-activity integration, and end-to-end mentoring programs. Because it is delivered as a Scenario-Based Assessment, the exam rewards applied judgement — reading a business situation and choosing the correct configuration path — over isolated recall. It targets the consultant profile at an entry-level, project-participation depth, and registered SAP partner consultants receive provisioning rights once certified while customers and independent consultants do not.
The blueprint areas to focus your preparation on.
Establishing the SuccessFactors groundwork the module builds on — provisioning and instance access, the Admin Center, role-based permissions, proxy management, the succession data model and People Profile, picklists, the user data file, and Metadata Framework objects with business rules.
Managing the job architecture that underpins development — defining skills, competencies, and behaviors, maintaining attribute content, and mapping those skills and competencies to job roles so career and development features draw on consistent role definitions.
Enabling and configuring development goal plans — plan templates through Admin Center and XML, managing development goals and activities, viewing assignments and learning opportunities, surfacing goals on People Profile, and setting up the related e-mail notifications, including generative-AI assistance.
Enabling the latest career worksheet — adding templates, configuring the worksheet XML and role-readiness forms, exploring recommended roles and career paths, configuring suggested roles and additional features, and turning on the manager view for the worksheet.
Describing and enabling the opportunity marketplace — permissioning it, understanding its sections and recommendation logic, working with assignments, and enabling the People Profile assignments card so employees can discover and act on internal opportunities.
Connecting development plans to learning — integrating with SAP SuccessFactors Learning and configuring learning activities for customers who use a non-SAP SuccessFactors LMS, so recommended activities flow into the development experience.
Building mentoring end to end — enabling and permissioning mentoring, creating and administering mentoring programs, supporting participants in using them, and managing custom program types through text replacement for tailored terminology.
