Beyond the SAP

Have you managed to get through the sticky SAP and develop a portfolio of skills and experience? Or are you a SAP addict, and certification training just isn’t enough for you?! There are innumerable advanced level SAP training courses out there in the UK, but which path is the best one to take? Quotebean are here to help! We are going to show you the popular options which are now available to you to take your SAP career to the next level.

SAP Development Certification

This high level certification is available to individuals who have already begun developing SAP software and applications, whether in their own organisations or as independent consultants. High levels of programming skills are required to achieve this certification, as well as demonstrable SAP development experience. Many providers in the UK even allow experienced individuals to sit certification exams without needing to participate in training courses. SAP’s Development Certification is a true mark of knowledge, capability and excellence and is well suited to dedicated individuals who are committed to the future success of SAP.

Value Management Training

SAP has collated its extensive knowledge of value management techniques into educational programmes for end users and independent consultants. Individuals can find a variety of Value Management Training courses based on a number of topics including Benchmarking, industry best practices, Enterprise Architecture, and Organisational Change Management. Better suited to individuals with an IT or business strategy background, the VMT curriculum has been designed for individuals to feed back the value disciplines they learn into their organisations. VMT provides a wealth of value for businesses and organisations and is one of the next rungs on the career ladder for in-house SAP professionals.

NetWeaver™/SOA Training

SAP’s innovative SOA (Service-Orientated Architecture) and open source platform is one of the main shapers of today’s business landscape. Individuals who work in NetWeaver enabled organisations can undergo specific training to provide them with the skills and knowledge to develop enterprise wide business solutions. Again better suited to individuals with a strong IT or programming background, NetWeaver and SOA Training helps individuals create strong and open IT infrastructures in their organisations.

ABAP (Advanced Business Application Programming) Training

ABAP – SAP’s unique programming language – provides SAP users with the ability to extend and maximise the functionality of their systems and products. ABAP training focuses on the key skills which allow individual developers, consultants and project managers to extend the lifecycle and capabilities of SAP products – Management, Reporting and Advanced Programming. Individuals participating in certain ABAP training courses are also eligible for the SAP Web Application Development certification. ABAP training is advanced level training, and an understanding of programming languages is required to ensure successful training courses.

SAP Basis Training

Basis is SAP’s business application software, the piece of middleware which links SAP applications to databases and operating systems. Individuals who wish to specialise in Basis training can reach Basis administrator levels, both within organisations and as independent consultants. Basis administrators are high level SAP professionals who are responsible for configuring SAP environments including application servers. Basis training covers a variety of specific topics such as Basis and Security Administration, Preparing and installing SAP systems and Installing SAP Frontend/GUI.

This is of course not an extensive list of SAP training; we’d probably need an entire website for that!
