Hello

As a fresher, ask your brother to admit that he is a fresher to SAP. Ask him to stress on his domain experience and non-SAP functional experience.

Never fake your resume and project yourself as a person having exposure to SAP implementation and support environment. During the course of interview, it is very easy to assess the person. Even if escapes this round, he could be caught in the back ground check.

As a matter of fact, the SAP training should be a plus point for freshers. Ask your brother to admit that he had undergone unlicensed training and is well versed with the transactions in SAP.
