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 today’s markets. • Integration: SAP is a market leader because of it’s seamless integration with
other modules. As a functional consultant, you ought to know the integration points with other modules. I’ll teach you the integration points of SD with MM, PP and FI.
• Technical Overview: I’ll teach you how to debug ABAP programs and write routines.

FAQ’s
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, I’d 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. I’ll help/train people individually in sub areas of SAP.

FAQ’s
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? I’d say anywhere between $75-
90 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.

FAQ’s
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 cliché, but unfortunately I
don’t have a better answer). If you have business knowledge, I would recommend about 8-
10 hours every week. If you are a fresher straight out of school, get ready to spend about 20
hours per week.

FAQ’s
What material do you provide?
For each class, I provide PowerPoint for that class, configuration
guide with screen shots for that class. Also for each topic in SD, I
send about 100 interview and certification questions. These are a
test of your learning and will also help you if you plan for a
certification in future. I’ll also send you e-books; share some
blueprint documents from my past projects.
