@laffinbuddha. Depends on who are you training with.knowing what you and I know about the Indian Consultancies, I would be skeptical to join them.
This is my opinion and I could be wrong.
the story about joining a consultancy and calling a quit or joining different one b/c the first one didn't worked out or you find something on your own is very common among us.
so it's possible that Consultancies will charge you b/c
1. They might have to find somebody who is willing to train you(based on what you want training on)
2. They may or may not find a job for you after training,as you mentioned there are a lot of Consultancies, who are in it just for Training fees.
3. They may offer you free training, I heard there are consultancies in TX,VA that even provide you accommodation and cash for food expenses while you are on the bench or pending marketing.
you mentioned Training Fees of $500-$600, I think that is reasonable, anything SAP related can cost a lot and if you want to get certified that will cost you extra, I did a SAP Certification
test and it cost about $530(but luckily for me my employer paid for it)
if you are training on something that is common in practice then the consultancy might train(crash course) you for free, because they are investing in you so that
when they find you a job, they will make money, that is IF you stick with them.
For something like what, you are pursuing(SAP FICO), there may not be a lot of consultancies offering it(you should ask around). There are some consultancies,
like you mentioned who are up only for training fees. I do get reached out by them all the time, sometimes I get a LinkedIn request from these people see below:
I am not sure what you situation is? if you can find a job on your own or if you need these consultancies, help find you a job. if later is your case I would reach out to friends and ask
them to refer you someone who they can vouch for. unless, you can risk $500/$600 with these Indian consultancies. My best bet is if they are reaching out everyday, and mentioning its going to cost this and that,
that's probably a warning sign.
here's some materials you can ponder upon
