newbie - how to start?

[Andreia01]

Hi everyone,

My name is Andreia, I'm a health professional, I'm 31 years old, but I'm looking for professional retraining. All my experience is in the health field. At the moment I am attending the Professional SAP Technology Consultant course on Coursera, that clearly is only the beggining, but I am not sure that, not having any IT experience I will be capable to work in SAP in the future.
What is your feedback, do you think it is possible taking into consideration my background? What steps would you recommend to make me more qualified to compete to improve my skills in this area, what SAP areas should I look for more specialization? Thanks

Good to see you taking the Coursera courses

Also take a look at the free Open SAP Courses at open.sap.com and the free courses at learning.sap.com

It depends on what you want to do; do you want to work in the healthcare industry supporting SAP or later become an SAP Consultant?

I'm looking to change areas, so i'm looking for new professional training, that's why I signed up for Coursera Course. SAP Consultant looks like a promising area but I'm kinda doubt myself, coming from such a different area.
