The underlying structure of our training program can be divided into three levels:Level 1 courses provide an overview of the SAP environment. These courses are intentionally compact, and provide an initial understanding of SAP products, R/3 applications, R/3 Basis technology. 

Level 2 courses introduce you to fundamental business processes that can be modeled using the SAP System. The courses serve as an introduction to a particular specialist area, for example, procurement, production planning, and so on. Level 2 courses do not explore the complete range of functions in a given application, but concentrate on key business processes, and on the interaction with other modules. 
Level 3 courses focus on providing detailed information about individual application areas, and concentrate on SAP Customizing and function description. They usually build on information covered in the corresponding level 2 courses, and are tailored to meet the requirements of project teams.

These examinations are release specific and reflect the actual tasks of an SAP consultant. The exams are standardized worldwide and carried out under the supervision of SAP.

The exam tests the knowledge required by a junior consultant to work as a productive member of project team under the supervision of an experienced SAP consultant. The certificate shows that the consultant has sound knowledge of the SAP system in the area in which he/she has been tested.

The examination tests the candidate ’s ability to:
