SAP Basis and Security Training from SAPtips for SAP Professionals

Just like the SAPtips Journal, our training covers the entire SAP product line, from core SAP modules like Financials, Logistics, and HR/HCM, to NetWeaver-based components, to SAP's Business Suite applications, including CRM, SCM, and SRM. We train SAP implementation team members and super-users on any issues covered in the standard SAP course catalog, and we go beyond that to offer cutting edge configuration and reporting techniques that can fill the gap in your SAP know-how.

We help SAP clients and consultants solve business and technical problems with our library of undocumented features, timesaving solutions, and best practices. Request a free sample issue of SAPtips here.

The SAP Jumpstart: Basis and Security course is based on an ECC 5.0 system environment and will be highly relevant to any company running in an R/3 4.x or 5.0 environment. Most of the core functionality covered in this course will be applicable to ECC 6.0 also, with the exception of the GUI appearance of some screens.
