Independent, reasoning-first practice for the SAP® P_BTPA Solution Architect certification, built for the 2026 Scenario-Based Assessment format.
Who it's for: Experienced SAP architects and senior technical consultants who design cross-landscape solutions and want a professional-level credential proving they can translate complex business requirements into a holistic, scalable blueprint on SAP Business Technology Platform — orchestrating integration, application development, data and analytics, and AI services to lead digital-transformation initiatives.
The SAP® P_BTPA certification confirms that a professional can architect complete, scalable, and durable solutions spanning SAP and non-SAP landscapes using SAP Business Technology Platform. Aimed at seasoned practitioners who connect business strategy with technical delivery, it examines whether you can convert intricate requirements into a coherent solution blueprint that draws on the platform's full potential. Coverage runs across integration approaches, technical and application architecture, solution governance, and cost-aware design decisions. Because it is delivered as a Scenario-Based Assessment, the exam rewards applied architectural judgement — reasoning through a realistic situation to a defensible design — rather than isolated recall of feature names.

Selecting among runtime environments and programming models, positioning the broader application development and automation services, and applying the SAP application extension methodology to decide how and where to build and extend business functionality on the platform.
Positioning SAP Business Data Cloud within a solution design and applying the advisory methodology for data and analytics to shape how information is collected, unified, and surfaced for decision-making across an intelligent-enterprise architecture.

Describing SAP's AI strategy, positioning Joule and Joule agents, understanding the AI capabilities distributed across SAP BTP, and situating AI Foundation so that intelligent features are designed into a solution rather than bolted on afterward.
Understanding the underlying SAP BTP foundation services that support the platform's other capabilities, giving the architect the base-layer context needed to reason about security, connectivity, and shared platform functions across a solution.
