ASAP Curriculum
1- The SAP training curriculum is structured with 3 levels of course to provide awareness (level 1), readiness (level 2) and proficiency (level 3) respectively. The ASAP curriculum comprises the 5 courses above. The level 2 courses provide the overview, with the level 3 courses providing a more detailed coverage firstly of the basic ASAP tools (ASAP92), and then of the specific areas of: global implementations; and managing the organizational change as a result of an SAP implementation.
2- ASAP91 is the basic AcceleratedSAP course and is the foundation for learning ASAP. It is a prerequisite for ASAP90, ASAP92, as well as ASAP93. Although not required, it is also a strongly recommended preparation for ASAP95.
