SAP publishes two certifications dedicated to Business Data Cloud: C_BCBDC_2505 (Associate) and C_BDCDA (Data Architect). BDC offering launched: Q1 2026; premium outlook: high multiplier expected through 2027.

The data layer BDC packages is still SAP Datasphere, covered by exam C_BW4H_2404 (Data Engineer — Data Fabric): SAP keeps no standalone Datasphere exam.
