SAP S4/HANA : Initiation à l'ABAP (les bases pour débutant)

With more than 400,000 customers worldwide, SAP has, over the years, established itself as a benchmark in terms of ERP.

Few software programs are as efficient and adaptable to all types of business.

It allows for a significant improvement in processes, increases business performance and, above all, increases communication and the exchange of information between departments with its unique database.

Training on SAP today is an excellent choice for the future. Application areas are constantly expanding, and the need for business improvement in terms of productivity and quality is growing.

However, it must be recognized that it is as powerful as it is complex, which can seem disconcerting at first glance.

This training, focused on ABAP, will allow you to familiarize yourself with the basics of the SAP programming language.

Who is this training for?

If you are familiar with the SAP programming language and are looking to improve in specific areas, this course is not for you.

The topics covered will be of interest to SAP consultants, regardless of their preferred module. Indeed, ABAP is everywhere in this software, and gaining experience and knowledge in this field can only enhance skills and allow you to understand the intricacies of each feature. Project managers will also find this learning process beneficial.

This introductory course aims to cover the basics from the beginning, allowing those who take it to have all the tools they need to tackle more complex concepts later on. It will provide you with the foundations necessary for learning the language, using best practices.

Since this course is based on a ground-up approach, those looking for a career change in IT, particularly SAP, are welcome to apply. Regardless of your chosen career path in this field, having an ABAP skill set is a real asset in terms of value on the job market.

However, I recommend having a basic understanding of SAP software. If not, I refer you to my "SAP Beginner's Introduction - The Basics" training course before embarking on this one.

How will I learn?

The video materials, articles and downloadable documents have been created to make learning enjoyable.

No reading of PowerPoint or other documents.

We wanted to make it more modern, and more polished.

You don't need to have SAP installed on your PC. Everything will be shown to you directly in a real environment.

For those who would like to go further and practice directly in the software, I can recommend the Michael Management website, to obtain a "Live Access" Pass in the SAP environment. You will find the link in the last section of the course but do not hesitate to tell me about it if you are interested.

This is the solution we used to create this course.

A little extra information: the login language will be English. Learning English terms will be very useful to you because these are the terms used in most industries, training courses, forums, etc.

Rest assured, we explain each of these in French, whether you speak English or not. This won't be a hindrance.

And after?

At the end of this training, you will have learned a lot of things, not only about ABAP but about programming in general.

You will have all the cards in hand to approach more complex concepts and why not, start your apprenticeship towards a new career in the SAP environment?

But since we know that it is sometimes difficult to go beyond teaching and that, in concrete cases, one can easily get lost, we continue to provide you with our help and support:

1. By updating our training courses regularly based on your feedback

2. Through an exchange system, notably Q and A but also by message
