The Difference
Emphasis on business process: I believe that SAP is not about learning (or remembering) a set of t-codes and configuring some tables. To be a successful functional consultant, you need to understand THE WHY. For every configuration task that you do in the system, you need to relate to a real business process. I pride myself on practical orientation of my course. Marketability: I mould my course according to the market trends and place emphasis on the critical skills needed in todays markets. Integration: SAP is a market leader because of its seamless integration with other modules. As a functional consultant, you ought to know the integration points with other modules. Ill teach you the integration points of SD with MM, PP and FI.

Technical Overview: Ill teach you how to debug ABAP programs and write routines.

FAQs
How is the SAP market? What are my chances of getting a job after training?
In general, SAP market has been good from early 2010. SAP install base is huge and a number of clients are going for upgrade projects and process re engineering projects. After the training and complete preparation, Id say it generally takes abut 1-2 months to land up in a job. Of course, there will be always be exceptions people who will find it tough to land up in a job and people who get a job in a week. And this again goes back to the point mentioned earlier I always recommend my trainees to have primary skill and secondary skill in other modules of SAP. Ill help/train people individually in sub areas of SAP.

FAQs
Will I land in a high dollar billing job after the training?
This is a question/myth that a number of people have about SAP. Yes there are people who

make $125-$150 per hour in SAP. So a number of people embark into SAP hoping that they
are going to get similar compensation. This is a myth. Yes, clients pay high dollar amounts, but you need to be a master an area in SD or have a niche specialization meaning you need to have a unique skill that not lot of people have in market. In my experience, you develop that over a period of time as you work with a number of clients and work on challenging projects.

So, back to above question what can I make after training? Id say anywhere between $7590 per hr is a ballpark estimate. Again, this depends on the type of project and your immigration status. Generally, implementation projects tend to pay more, but again those are considered THE most challenging projects.

FAQs
How is your teaching style? How much time do I need to spend over the training period?
I believe that SAP learning is not just remembering a set of transaction codes and configuring some tables. As a functional consultant, you *should* know the business processes. So I train the students in business processes that are used in different industry verticals that are used in USA. Once you know the business process (the WHY) then the configurations that we do in the system automatically makes sense to you. Again, the time that you spend depends ( I know this is becoming clich, but unfortunately I dont have a better answer). If you have business knowledge, I would recommend about 810 hours every week. If you are a fresher straight out of school, get ready to spend about 20 hours per week.

These are a test of your learning and will also help you if you plan for a certification in future. Ill also send you e-books; share some blueprint documents from my past projects.
