what SAP module is more appropriate for my background?

[Former Member]

HI,

I'm very interested to join a SAP course in India but i'm really not making any decision so far. which module is more suitable for me and my background.

I have done my Master in "computer science" and my undergrad in "Education in computer". I've asked some guys and some have advised me to go for Basis or BI. I'm telling you that I have no experience in SAP world but I'll take a step further to join the most appropriate course that meets my background.

my Questions are:

- Any requirements to study SAP Basis/BI module in an authorized institute?

- What do u suggest me to study?

plz share your experience :):):)

Hey,

It depends upon what your interests are, if you like programming, you can go for ABAP/Java. if you are more business oriented, you can go on functional side. if you like servers, go for Basis

There are so many things you can do in SAP, but in the end, you should always choose what is as per your interest, everything else will fall in place.

All the best

Thanks

Hi,

First of all, thank you Aamir for your comment. I'm wondering if entering into SAP by choosing a functional module such as HR or MM would affect me and narrow the job opportunities later because of my different background (IT/computer science).

Well, I think I'll go for Basis! I'm not that cool guy with programming 😛

BTW, do you think it's hard to find a job as a SAP basis consultant after I finish the course and get certified coz i'll be a Basis fresher without any experience?

thnx again Amir

Then go for Basis, all the best

>>do you think it's hard to find a job as a SAP basis consultant

It depends which part of the world you are in, but generally speaking, if you are good at what you know, finding job should not be that difficult. You just need to learn and make sure go into the stream which you like.

Everybody is a fresher, sometime or the other. we just need to tell this upfront during interview so that there are no surprises later on.

BTW, I'd like to get some advices about my situation:

i'm interested to enter into SAP world but i duno which way is more appropriate for me:

1- join a course in a non-authorized institute in India for about 2 months (2 h/day) then join SIEMENS institute (8 h/day) which is authorized then do the exam to be a SAP certified consultant. [a long way, total of studying is 3 months, will cost a bit more]

2- join a course in SIEMENS institute then do the exam to be a SAP certified consultant. [short period .. just 1 month, intensive]

1. Things to bear in mind:

- no experience in SAP world.

- the aim of studying in a non-authorized institute is to enter into SAP world and make sure if the module is suitable for u or need to switch to another one. studying in a non-institute is a bit cheap.

what do u recommend me to do?

cheers,
