For those picking interest in SAP, Please Do NOT waste your time and money paying for SAP CERTIFICATION and lectures. There are many Junior consultants roaming about in Nigeria WITHOUT JOBS. I am one of them. SAP FI/MM Module professional. Projects are not longer coming up hence lean request for SAP Professionals. Instead go for skills you can sell without waiting endlessly for a project or a company to call for support service. I can defend this anywhere.

Thank you.

Learn programing language like python and ruby
Learn Linux, rhel... Bash and scripting... Automation is the future.
Learn analytics tools like tableau and power BI
Learn salesforce. com
Learn ios and android development... Think about an app that could solve a problem and deploy it... Laugh to the bank.
Learn AWS, azure or GCP .. Go deep into devops engineering line and become experts in docker containers and kubernetes.
Learn how to secure systems, penetration testing... Cyber security... Everyone is getting pawned these days and also migrating to the cloud.

If you are dedicated and have good Internet accessibility, you can become whatever you want. SAP is good but it's like a cult, you have a slim chance to breakthrough.

Hello Mr. Kiwi992,
I am Nigerian living in Lagos. For 5 consecutive years, I have had a priviledge of being an SAP End User, SAP Key User and now an SAP Module Owner in Material Management and Warehouse Management (MM&WM) working with two Nigerian Multinationals, one after the other.

I have a deep interest and a plan to build my career around SAP MM and attain the SAP MM Consultancy goal. I must thank you for the priceless advice of downloading the training application IDEC ECC 6.0 rather than wasting our hard-earned money. However, I am struggling and I need your help. I couldn't download the application and after watching some Youtube Videos about its installation, I think I would need someone to support me on that. I also check the coded url you gave out but I couldn't decode it. Please I need your help in getting the software on my laptop.

Of the requirements, I can confidently say I have these listed below, the first 2, I don't have sad

1. Acquire the necessary HANDS-ON SKILLS by using the IDES ECC 6.  sad
2. Use the official SAP Academy training material. sad

3. Relevant background - 5 years hands-on experience in SAP MM & SAP WM and still counting.
4. Strong computer skills - Currently an undergraduate in Computer Science, Diploma in Desktop Publishing & Computer Engineering.
5. Understanding of business processes - Like I said earlier, I have been working with 2 FMCG multinationals in Nigeria. I just moved to the second one last year, so boss, I have a business process, from Purchase-2-Pay. E2E of the Supply Chain Network. cheesy

Hi All,


Talking about SAP, yes, the explanation given is correct.  I just need to elaborate on what's already been said.

I have a solid hands-on experience in using the SAP R/3 4.6C software, as well as implementing the SAP R/3 4.6C IDES software on my desktop (at home), whilst preparing for the SAP Financials Consultancy course, a few years ago, before I was involved in a serious motorbike accident. 

SAP is a German enterprise resource planning (ERP) product.  The company is based in Waldorf.  It is a world-class product, to say the least.  A great but very complex product with well over one thousand and twelve (1012) modules in it.  These modules span from BASIS, Financials, Logistics, APO, Business Warehouse, SAP Projects, Sales and Distribution (SD), Materials Management (MM), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and so on, as as well as various industry solutions such as Gas, Oil, Chemicals to name but only a few.  You name it and SAP has got it.  Newer products are constantly being added whilst others have been dropped, due to the emergence of new technology.  

Back in 2004, I did a write-up about RFID at SAP's Discussion Forum, as the technology was new then (even though old in origin).  I would say that I was, at that time, considered to be the RFID guru (but not anymore), as the technology is getting mature.

As I said, I have solid hands-on experience in implementing SAP R/3 4.6C IDES on my PC, in preparation for the mySAP Financials Consultancy training. 

In my own opinion, the SAP Consultancy course as run by SAP Academy is far too short to enable the participant acquire the necessary skills to pass such a demanding examination.  You can definitely pass the exams if you take your time to train for it at home.  However, just remember that you would need to acquire the all-important hands-on skills before you can even dream of passing it.  So, here's what I suggest that you do.

You MUST:

1.  Acquire the necessary HANDS-ON SKILLS by using the IDES ECC 6. 

This is a training software as used by the SAP Academies worldwide, to enable course participants acquire the necessary hands-on skills.  It is an actual SAP software but already pre-loaded with live data.  Without this, you will NOT pass the exams!  Be warned that this is not a theoretical exam that you can blag your way through.  You need to have the practical experience of using the SAP R/3 software.  Take it from me because I know.  All the better, if you have access to SAP at your place of work.   The exams are very hard but you will pass if you adopt the right training methodology.

This is not a course (or exams) for the faint-hearted!!  The rewards are massive when you qualify.  I have a friend that comes to the UK from Malaysia and works as an SAP Consultant and makes mega bucks.  She's here every three months or so.

2.  Use the official SAP Academy training material.

You must beg, borrow or steal them (literally), if you really mean business about training for this certification.  It's always better to learn from the source.  The SAP academy training material are the official course manuals from SAP AG, Germany.

3.  Relevant background

Ensure that you only train on a module that is consistent with your professional or academic background, else you would be wasting your time.

4.  Strong computer skills

This is essential because you'll be customising the IMG - a core element of the SAP R/3 software.

5.  Understanding of business processes

Again, without a solid knowledge and understanding of business processes, you will definitely struggle with SAP R/3.   

Please take note of all what I've said here because I have a first-hand experience of this global product.  SAP Consultants are in high demand all over the world, albeit that the demand for such Consultants has somewhat peaked in view of the fact that many western countries are upgrading now, instead of a fresh implementation of the product.  That said, Nigeria would most definitely need SAP Certified Consultants to implement the product in those big industries.

I often used to wonder as to why no-one here ever showed an interest in SAP (or indeed, really mentioned it before now).  SAP Certified Consultants are the money men and women of this world.  It is really a worthwhile qualification - far better than any out there.

In the name of Nairaland.

NB:

The name SAP is pronounced as 'es-ay-pee' (but not 'sap'), if you see what I mean.

That'll be a tough one. I thought it was the undergraduate internship. Anyways, you can still send in your internship application. Nothing is impossible.

Good morning. What about an ND graduate seeking for 1 year internship.

SAP is a Suite of Software used by many World class companies to manage their business. Its made of Several Modules covering specific areas of the business like Contracting and Procurent, Plant maintenance, Finance e.t.c.

SAP is customised for each company that wants to use it. With regards, to SAP training, most companies I know that use SAP in Nigeria brought in foreigners to do the training. They trained a few of their staff who inturn trained others. There might be somewhere where you can get the training at a fee, but am not sure of a place, You could download some materials online but you will not be able to run the training without a functional SAP database.

I will post some link if I get the time to source for them.

You ask if there is training like SAP Audit. SAP covers every aspect of a business that runs it. Its all encompassing and brings about great transparency and Controls in business.

This is wow
