- C_AIG here is SAP Certified Associate - SAP Generative AI Developer: one system-based activity, 3 hours, 76% to pass, English.
- Seven domains each carry an 11-20% weight range; no single topic is officially the heaviest, so cover all of them.
- The exam is open-book and unproctored, but the timer keeps running during breaks.
- Plan for advance booking, since SAP sources conflict on whether system slots are immediately available.
Which C_AIG This Cheat Sheet Covers
The acronym C_AIG is shared by more than one credential in the wider certification world, so it is worth stating plainly what this page is about. Everything below concerns the SAP Certified Associate - SAP Generative AI Developer (C_AIG), issued and administered by SAP through SAP Learning. It is a hands-on credential built around SAP's Generative AI Hub and SAP AI Launchpad. If you want background on the name itself, see our explainers on what C_AIG is and what C_AIG stands for.
This is a one-page style review: the facts you should be able to recite before you open the practice system. For the deeper walkthroughs, pair it with the C_AIG study guide and the complete guide to all seven content areas.
The Exam at a Glance
| Item | What to remember |
|---|---|
| Credential | SAP Certified Associate - SAP Generative AI Developer (C_AIG) |
| Issuer | SAP, delivered via SAP Learning |
| Format | 1 system-based assessment activity (practical, not a multiple-choice written test) |

Because scoring evaluates what you actually complete in the system, partial progress across many tasks can matter more than perfecting one. The passing score guide unpacks what 76% means in a practical exam and how to pace yourself against it.
The Seven Domains in One Table
SAP publishes seven exam topics, each with the same 11-20% range. These are weight ranges, not exact allocations, and they should not be normalized into neat percentages. Equal bands also mean there is no officially heaviest domain, so skipping one is a risky bet.
| # | Domain | Published weight |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Leveraging System, User, and Assistant Roles for Better Prompts | 11-20% |
| 2 | Securing and Hardening Prompts | 11-20% |
| 3 | Using Prompt Templates in SAP AI Launchpad | 11-20% |
| 4 | Discovering Generative AI Hub Interface | 11-20% |
| 5 | Solution Using Different Models | 11-20% |
| 6 | Focus on problem solving using SAP AI Launchpad | 11-20% |
| 7 | Developing Prompts in SAP AI Launchpad | 11-20% |
Roles, Prompts and Hardening Essentials
Domain 1: Leveraging System, User, and Assistant Roles for Better Prompts
Know what each message role is for and how combining them shapes model behavior.
- The system role sets standing behavior, tone, constraints and persona for the conversation.
- The user role carries the actual request or input data.
- The assistant role holds model replies and can be used to demonstrate the desired output pattern in a prompt.
- Be ready to decide which instruction belongs in which role when a task asks you to improve an underperforming prompt.
Domain 2: Securing and Hardening Prompts
Expect to reason about how prompts can be manipulated and how to make them more robust.
- Understand the idea of untrusted input appearing inside a prompt and trying to override your instructions.
- Practice writing system-level instructions that state boundaries clearly and keep user content separate from instructions.
- Be able to revise a weak prompt into a more defensible one and verify the change in the output.
Domain 7: Developing Prompts in SAP AI Launchpad
This is where prompt craft meets the tool.
- Iterate: write, run, inspect the output, adjust wording, run again.
- Be specific about task, format and constraints; vague prompts produce vague scored outputs.
- Know how to test a prompt against different inputs before treating it as finished.

Domain 3: Using Prompt Templates in SAP AI Launchpad
Templates turn one-off prompts into reusable assets.
- Know how a template separates fixed instruction text from variable inputs.
- Be comfortable creating, editing and running a template from the Launchpad interface.
- Remember the permissions caveat below: saving requires more than experimenter-level access.
Domain 4: Discovering Generative AI Hub Interface
Navigation speed matters in a timed practical exam.
- Know where the main areas of the Generative AI Hub live inside SAP AI Launchpad.
- Practice reaching prompt editing, model selection and template features without hunting.
- Because the timer keeps running, every minute spent lost in the interface is a minute not spent completing tasks.
Choosing Models and Solving Problems
Domain 5: Solution Using Different Models
Different large language models behave differently on the same prompt.
- Be ready to run the same prompt against more than one model and compare the outputs.
- Understand that a prompt tuned for one model may need adjusting for another.
- Choose models based on the task at hand rather than assuming one is always best.
Domain 6: Focus on problem solving using SAP AI Launchpad
This domain frames the whole exam: start from a business problem, then use the Launchpad toolset to solve it.
- Read each task for the business outcome first, then pick the roles, template and model that serve it.
- Check your output against the task requirement before moving on, since scoring looks at completed tasks and system outputs.
- Combine skills from the other six domains; tasks rarely isolate a single topic.
Key Takeaway
Treat the seven domains as one workflow rather than seven silos: frame the problem, write role-aware prompts, harden them, template them, run them across models, and verify the output. Practicing that full loop in the system beats memorizing definitions.
Access, Booking and Open-Book Rules
- Access routes: purchased exam attempts or an SAP Learning Hub subscription.
- SAP Universal ID: it must have at least two email accounts on different domains.
- Open-book: practical exams are unproctored, and public SAP resources and applicable AI tools are permitted.
- Timer: it continues during breaks, so a pause does not stop the 3 hours.
- Preparation is recommended, not mandatory: completing every preparation course and exercise is advised, but it is not an enforced admission requirement. Our requirements guide separates curriculum prerequisites from verified eligibility rules.
Cost, Validity and Renewal
The package SAP lists is "SAP Certification exam, two attempts," which includes two attempts and 10 hours of relevant practice-system access. Those 10 hours are practice time, not exam time and not a mandatory training requirement. The supplied record for this U.S. package shows USD 276.00, corroborated by SAP search indexing, but the full pricing page could not be retrieved for this review, so treat that as a reference figure rather than a freshly verified checkout quote or a single-exam fee. Always confirm at checkout; the certification cost breakdown goes through the pricing caveats.
| Topic | Fact |
|---|---|
| Validity | 12 months from the initial exam |
| Renewal with Learning Hub | Pass a Stay Certified assessment with an active SAP Learning Hub subscription within the 90 days before expiry |
| Renewal extension | 12 months from the original expiry, not from the assessment date |
| Renewal without Learning Hub | Purchase and retake the full certification exam annually |
Whether the credential pays off for you depends on your role and market, and this page does not make salary or return-on-investment claims. If that is your question, read the worth-it analysis and the salary guide, which treat those topics with appropriate caution.
Official Preparation Sources
The learning path SAP links to this certification is the journey Solving Business Problems using SAP's Generative AI Hub. Two courses sit behind it, in order:
- AIG00 - Discovering SAP's Generative AI Hub, the prerequisite for AIG02.
- AIG02 - Solve your business problems using prompts and LLMs in SAP Generative AI Hub, which precedes the advanced course.
- Using Advanced AI Techniques with SAP's Generative AI Hub, the follow-on course.
These are curriculum prerequisites, not independently verified exam-admission requirements. For hands-on rehearsal, SAP provides a preconfigured subscription practice system tied to AIG02, plus a "Getting Started with Generative AI Hub" lesson. That system is for preparation, not production service access. If you want structured support beyond the official material, our C_AIG training overview covers the options, and our C_AIG practice tests help you rehearse the reasoning behind the domains. Note that any practice material here uses original scenarios, not actual exam content.
A Domain-Ordered Review Plan
Since the exam is practical, order your review by dependency: interface first, then prompts, then the higher-level problem solving that uses everything else.
Orientation and interface (Domain 4)
- Complete AIG00 and get comfortable navigating the Generative AI Hub in SAP AI Launchpad.
- Confirm your roles allow you to save prompts.
Prompt craft (Domains 1 and 7)
- Rewrite the same task using system, user and assistant roles.
- Iterate prompts in the Launchpad and note what changes the output.
Hardening and templates (Domains 2 and 3)
- Harden prompts against conflicting instructions in user input.
- Turn working prompts into reusable templates.
Models and full scenarios (Domains 5 and 6)
- Compare models on identical prompts.
- Run timed, end-to-end business-problem exercises that touch all seven domains.
If you are unsure how demanding this will feel, the difficulty guide sets expectations for a practical exam format.
Quick FAQ
No. It is a system-based practical assessment consisting of one published activity, completed in the system within 3 hours. The published activity count is not a question or task count.
Yes. SAP describes its practical exams as open-book and unproctored, and public SAP resources and applicable AI tools are permitted. The timer still runs during breaks, so speed and familiarity with the system still matter.
None is officially highest. All seven domains are published with the same 11-20% range, which are ranges rather than exact allocations. Balanced coverage is the safest approach.
It is valid for 12 months from the initial exam. With an active SAP Learning Hub subscription, pass a Stay Certified assessment within the 90 days before expiry to extend 12 months from the original expiry. Without Learning Hub, you retake the full exam annually.
Plan to. SAP's Q2 2026 release notes say advance booking is required for system-based exams, while another SAP FAQ says some systems are immediately available. Follow your exam dashboard and do not count on same-day availability.
