On Highlights

Q: Is SAP difficult to learn?

SAP training generally lasts from two to six months. Learners and professionals on SAP community and Reddit threads do have a greater consensus that SAP is easy to learn, but hard to master. You can learn basic functionality and configuration of SAP on your own with free tutorials, but how the modules interact with each other and how you can implement requirements for your organisations will require some formal training that come with verifiable certifications.

Q: How do I know when to renew my SAP certification?

If you have the SAP Universal ID with at least two linked email accounts, you will find in your profile whether the certification is approaching its expiry date or not.

SAP Certified Development Associate - ABAP with SAP NetWeaver 7.50 - Batch of 2024

Learning Experience: Excellent. So, I have learned SAP ABAP through my college. My mentors were so supportive and provided all the materials before the examination so we could crack the examination in a single attempt. I am happy that I have passed the examination. It's the most valuable certificate that I've earned. I have gained a lot of knowledge in the ABAP field. I encourage fellow peers to give it a try if you are really passionate about it. It is the greates platform is the pros and it has only a single attempt is the cons.

Faculty: I had two and more faculties that used to teach different topics and each of them is different in approaching students. Some teach practically and some theoretically. But all of them were fun in teaching and made us prepare so well. My group of peers was Fun, Interactive, etc. We discuss more and we used to learn by teaching each other. We have interactive live sessions in our college itself. We had separate sessions and classrooms for our SAP ABAP. We tend to learn in SAP Learning hub which was very useful. Yes they are up-to-date. The course structure has many assessments and tests and assignments which is usually one word answers, but if you choose one option wrong in choose three best options then the entire answer is wrong. So be prepared a lot before examination and have many mock test for yourself.
