In order to support the increasing demand for certified SAP consultants, SAP Education now offers the SAP eAcademy program. We have expanded our delivery channels to enable professionals to access core SAP training materials through dedicated training centres and distance learning. SAP eAcademy adopts the learner-centric approach to training. Our instructor-led Solution Academies are now available in a self-paced e-learning format and can be accessed through eAcademy centres – designed specifically to deliver knowledge wherever and whenever it’s needed.

Courses Focused on your Career Path
SAP eAcademy has strategically divided the SAP solutions into different modules, each focusing on different operations. These role-based courses deliver in-depth training on a specific role within the business process. This role-specific approach results in a more efficient process teaching you only the features, functions and transactions that are critical to your specific task. In addition, role-based course allows you to gain a deeper knowledge of those features and functions critical to your success through greater concentration on relevant and practical knowledge.

SAP’s online learning solutions offer an efficient way to transfer knowledge. Each course provides interactive “snapshots” of business processes, along with simulations, exercises, pre and post evaluations. What’s more, you can seek assistance through dedicated online support available to students via web-based chat, voiceover IP, NetMeetings, as well as global learner discussion boards.

SAP Certification
Few credentials in the business world carry the value of SAP certification. Those who hold it have honed their skills through rigorous study or direct experience. They have demonstrated their abilities passing demanding, process-oriented exams. With SAP certification, your consultants are empowered to demonstrate superior expertise, giving your organisation a powerful competitive advantage.
The SAP Certification program provides that competitive edge. When you are SAP Certified, you join a distinguished community of experts recognised globally. Today, more than 140,000 consultants and users worldwide are part of this exclusive community.
