Hi everyone,

It’s great to announce that SAP learning hub, student edition is now live for actively enrolled students and faculty only. It includes:

  •      All course content available in the customer subscription of SAP Learning Hub
  •      Two free certification exam attempts
  •      Live session access
  •      Stay certified content
  •      Access to cloud-based training systems (Gated to cloud only)

Students can register here for free

Lecturers can register here for free

 

If you have no idea what SAP is about and why you should even bother with this, check out this blog I posted on the topic to get a rough idea on what you are starting here.

 

How to get started:

 

1: Creating your SAP Universal ID (UID)

Start on the registration page.

A universal ID is what you need to register and track your learning progress. Be sure to use the email address associated with your university enrollment.  We recommend adding a second email address to this if you will be trying out for certification. If you already have a UID, you can log in with it and skip this step.

01 Create UID.png

 

Note 1: Instructions on how to add a second email address can be found at the start of the certification exam scheduling demo.

Note 2: Be sure to never share your UID credentials with anyone.

Note 3: Please be sure to spell your first and last name in latin characters only.

 

2: Verify yourself as a student (or faculty)

We have a checkpoint in place to ensure you are an actively enrolled student  to continue registering. Please verify with the email address that is associated with your university enrollment.

If you have an email address provided to you by your university, use that one. If not, use the email address the university has on record for you.

02 Verify student status.png

Note 1: the trick of using your old student email address from 10 years ago doesn’t apply here. 😊 You must be actively enrolled at your educational institution at the time of registration to proceed.

Note 2: To avoid any confusion—don’t mix up the verification email confirmation with the subscription activation link. The activation link might take one business day to show up in your inbox. Once it does, click on it to unlock your certification attempts and access to the hands-on system.

Note 3: For any support with document upload or the verification process in general, please click here.

3: Start Learning

While waiting for your subscription activation email, you can still get a head start with studying. To get oriented, visit the student zone.

4: Activate your subscription

Keep an eye on your inbox for your subscription activation link from “SAP ID Service”. If it doesn’t show up after 3-4 days, be sure to check your spam folder.

04 Activate subscription.png

Note 1: If you do not receive your activation email after 4 days, go to the bottom of our support page and create a support case.

Note 2: If you encounter the message pictured below after clicking the activation link, just clear your browser cache and try the link again.

5: Continue studying & other tips to get the most out of the platform

If you haven’t started a learning journey yet, you can pick one in the student zone.

To continue studying learning journeys that you have already started, go here.

After you finish a learning journey in the carousel series that you started, you will have to go to the student zone to pick the next one:

 

05 Continue your studies.png

 

6: Get hands-on

Hands on system practice is as important as the certification itself. You must be able to do at least some basic system navigation and activities on the solution you are studying for:

06 Prep hands-on.png

 

7: Register for live sessions

Take the opportunity to listen to and talk to experts in the field you have chosen. These sessions are either recordings from the past or events that will take place in the future:

07 Register for live session.png

Note: Join me in one of my scheduled onboarding live sessions here

8: Schedule your certification exam

Once you are ready to schedule your exam, select the certification tile at the end of the carousel and get started:

Note: If you have any further questions about SAP Certification, check out the SAP Certification support center.

 

Some FAQs

I don’t have a university-provided email address. What do I do?    

Answer: Sign up with the email address that your university has on record. Be prepared to upload digital copies of any identification or documents which can prove enrolment in your educational institution. 

 

I am no longer a student, but I have an old university email address. Can I gain access with that?    

Answer: Unfortunately, no. We verify that you are actively enrolled in an educational institution.

 

I am stuck at the student/lecturer verification step! How do I find help?

Answer: Reach out to SheerID support here.

 

Where can I post questions about the learning material that I’m studying?

Post your questions in the SAP Community learning group.

If you have a technical problem, go to the help center.

 

Can I access all the training systems that SAP has to offer?    

Answer: No, access to training systems on SAP Learning Hub, student edition is restricted to cloud-based systems only.

 

How long do I have access to this free subscription?

Answer: 12 months. You can renew it if you are still actively enrolled in your university.

 

Can I certify in two different topics?

Answer: Yes.If you pass on the first attempt, you can use your second exam attempt for a different exam.

 

What should I start studying?

Answer: If you don't have a particular solution in mind and are looking for a basic credential to prove your seriousness around learning SAP, start here:

1. Discovering SAP for Students

2. Positioning SAP Business Suite for Students - This is exclusive and visible only for actively enrolled students and faculty who successfully register for SAP Learning Hub, student edition. See steps 2 & 4 above.

Best of luck in your studies! 

Regards,

David

@David_Chaviano I am a student and registered with my personal email on SAP universal account, However, I have different university email. Do I need to create a new account in that case?

Hi @Disha28 - please add your university email to your universal ID first.

See this guide on the topic: https://learning.sap.com/helpcenter/certification-support/sap-universal-id

Hi @David_Chaviano 

I hope you're doing well. I wanted to ask about the application process for free student learning. When does the form open, and could you please confirm what documents are required? Specifically, is it necessary to submit all three of the following documents:

1. School ID card with expiration date

2. Class schedule

3. Tuition receipt

Or is just one of these sufficient?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi @Hashir_ ,

Only one. Start your way from the top and work your way down in terms of priority.

Ensure the validity date is clear.

Could you kindly confirm whether the Digital Skills Initiative will be offering free certification this year? If so, could you please let me know when it is expected to open?

Dear @David_Chaviano,

I hope this message finds you well. I am a student who registered for an SAP universal account using my university email on April 9, 2025. As of today, April 14, 2025, I have not yet received the final activation email from SAP ID Service.

I did receive a confirmation email stating that my university status has been successfully verified. However, I believe I may have made an error when entering my name. Instead of following the instructions and entering "HO TIEN DAT," I mistakenly included accents in my name "HỒ TIẾN ĐẠT".

Could you please advise me on how to resolve this issue? Thank you for your assistance.

Dear @David_Chaviano,

I am the person who contacted you last week regarding the issue of not receiving the activation email for my SAP universal account. It has been about a week since then, but I still have not received the activation email, so I am a bit concerned.

I am very eager to start learning the valuable content offered by this program. Could you please advise if there is any update or should I continue to wait a little longer?

Thank you very much for your support and assistance. I look forward to your response.

Best regards,

Hi @David_Chaviano,

I was actually referred your name by Margit in SAP Community blog. I actually read the above article on Free SAP Certification and followed every step but still I am not able to get verified my current student status after submission of my current enrollment, ID card and my application form too. I really need to get verified soon so that I can start my SAP learning journey. If needed, I can submit all the above three documents to both you and Margit for a smooth process.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you very much 🙏 for this initiative. I was quite depressed due to some reasons related to my SAP career and was even considering a career change. Today, your email removed all the depression and disappointment I had been feeling since December 2024. @David_Chaviano @Maria_TD

I was dissapointed that my "Digital skills Initiative" exam attempt code was never sent to me... But seems that it was because of this new project being worked on.

It was worth the wait, amazing opportunity and benefits for us students. Glad that SAP its the one to take the forefront in education with this kind of programs.
