Depends on what course you are talking about. Is it BASIS? Is it Development? Is it Consultancy (I guess not) ?

Hi,

If your interest is BASIS, then you need a strong background in IT systems engineering : OS, Databases, backups, network concepts, http, reverse proxies, firewalls, SSL certificates, n tiers architecture, High availability clusters, and so on..... the list is very long !

So you are going to be a developer

I can tell you what I did to do some preparation ( I'm employed in Development too ).

1. I downloaded and set up a trial System (Netweaver) on my PC. You can download a trial system here:

2. I bought the book "SAM's Teach yourself ABAP in 21 Days" which is a pretty good hands-on ABAP/Workbench book for beginners. With this and the ABAP documentation I was able to kind of come closer to the whole "SAP-Monster" and its possibilities/dependencies/etc.

3. I played around

This won't make you an expert, but I personally think it's important to at least "have already heard" of certain things before taking the "serious" training. It will at least help you to not drown in the whole SAP environment.

best regards, Lukas
