Which Modul?

0 Kudos
1,031

hey guys. Im sure lot of people asks here the same but its importand for me so i will do ask it again.

I study in germany industrial engineering. But i dont find a job since my graduation. So i want go to sap course and learn sap. Im interested in sap pp and mm.

Which is better to learn? In which modul are more jobs for apply for me? Is it difficult to learn 2 or more modules? Should i firstly only one module?

Then in the learning courses there courses with no s4 hana. Only sap erp6. Is it good enough for the future?

Which modul is better for work to the industrie and which is better to work for logstics?

One of the courses has a program that called s4hana delta logistics. I think there a newbie course for s4hana. In the other 2 sap schools there are only educate the sap erp6 modules. What do you prefer? Do you know other logistics or production modules that are good for future?

Don't try learning two modules simultaneously when you are just starting out, it will take you a lot more time and at some point you will be overwhelmed by the amount of information. Focus on one, e.g., MM, and then build upon your knowledge if you still wish to learn PP (or vice versa).

ECC or S/4? Depends on what system you can access - if you have ECC - study ECC, if you have S/4 - this is the future. For ECC there will be still some support projects - I doubt that all companies will switch to S/4HANA by 2025 (and 5 years is a long time in the software industry).

For delta courses you need first to learn very will ECC so at this point these are not relevant for you (the idea of such courses is to build upon an existing knowledge).

I assume that you meant unofficial training courses - it is quite possible that the ones for S/4 are very basic - make sure to check the topics before paying.

It is hard to say which module is better or the best- it depends on the market and what interests you.

You are right, the courses are all unofficial. But with original SAP cert at the end. I think so that it will be very hard with all the input that came with one module. But the course employee tell me that it will be no problem to learn because i am a engineer and that i have training to learn some thing. Thats true. But maybe he will only sell his course.

My problem is with the decision.

For summary:

First course: that is a course where i can take 3 module certs. The systen is ecc. If i want i can take 2 or 1 module.

Second course: in this course i will learning at experinced lvl like the first course. The system is ecc. I will learn on 3 modules but take the exam only in one module. But it has the basic s4hana course after the ecc course is over. So difference is only in the s4hana basic course.

"You are right, the courses are all unofficial. But with original SAP cert at the end."

Compare the topics in the course to the syllabus for the certification(s) which you plan to take.

I would prefer the set of trainings that are closer to the topics of the certification exam(s).

Also, how basic is the S/4 course?

Is it suitable for business user level knowledge? If yes - skip it. You can get a trial SAP CAL instance and learn this by yourself.

You are right to be concerned about the amount of information even for a single certification exam. For MM in ECC the official training materials are 2000+ pages. For SD it is similar, no idea about PP, maybe a bit less... This makes it around 6000 pages, right? I am an engineer too, but 6000 pages is a very ambitious goal and it would take me months to read, memorize and master the material not only to pass the exam, but to handle technical interviews and stand at least some chance of getting a job.

Hi Jo Jens,

As it seems you are newbie & not also working in any organisation where you could get some hands-on on any SAP system, in that scenario, you can take the course from SAP Authorised training centers depending on your region. There the cost may vary in compare to your local training center. Also, this SAP module or that SAP module, I would rather agree with what Vaselina also mentioned. So, what you can do is master any SAP module & then you can try exploring other SAP module of your choice as by that point of time you would have a very good knowledge where you have to go or your goal in SAP career. With growing number of companies using SAP, the prospect of being in any SAP module is good for career. I have seen my SAP PP colleague sometimes had to go to Plant location to get data, where we are sitting in the main office every time. Similarly the SAP MM colleague had to come to office on weekends to work on his customer issues. Like this every SAP module has its work procedures, and this is no big deal, once you start enjoying what you do.

Also coming to ECC or S/4 Hana, many local small training centers do not also have clear idea on S/4 Hana as its new technology in compare to ECC. Now-a-days Companies migrate their ECC system to S/4 Hana as its having a lot more feature & also as Vaselina mention their is timeline for Support-End for ECC. If you are willing to go for certifications, you can browse the contents in https://training.sap.com/ , but before going there, you can also try browsing free courses in openSAP. Not only that you can also search in Youtube, where there are tons of videos for self-training on SAP MM & SAP PP, there also you could up-skill your knowledge & understanding level

Hope I was able to answer your query to some level.

Oh, and another thing, in case you want reply to someone, in that case the process here is to put in Comments to that Answer. In case you write your reply in Answer, it only looks like a separate Answer to your initial query

Thanks,

Thank to you and all the others here for their reply. I will now decide for one Module. And compare the topics to from every course center with each other. I choose then the one who is near to the official syllabous from SAP.

I have find out which topics in the courses are teaching.

The first course:

SCM600,SCM605,SCM500,SCM520,SCM601,SCM630,SCM100,SCM300

Second course offer:

scm600,scm605,610,scm615,scm620,scm500,scm5520,scm510,plm114,scm240,scm300,scm360,plm400,plm412

The second course is better, there will be more topics that i can learn but is it possible to learn so many topics or concentrate for one Module at the first course?
