Seeking Advice on SAP HR Courses: Best Institutes and Career Prospects?

Hi all,

I am looking for a SAP HR course. Please let me know what the prospects are and which institute can provide the course on SAP HR. I need your useful advice.

Thanks,
Mohit

Even I want to know about SAP HR! I'm working as a consultant in a placement consultancy.

It depends on what kind of course you want to do. Do you want to get training as a SAP user, or do you want to move into the technical line in SAP HR? The courses differ accordingly.

Reena

Hi Shikha,

SAP in itself is an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning). Actually, SAP is the name of the organization that develops ERP, and HR is one of the modules of ERP.

Hi Reena and Amit,

Will you provide some more detailed information on SAP and its relevance in HR? For a very long time, I have wanted to know about it, so I will keep on bothering you until I understand it fully.

Thanks,
Bibhu

Hi Amit,

It is really nice to see your prompt reply. Thanks for providing me with such valuable information. Your reply has guided me on this topic, and now I am feeling positive about it, all thanks to your help.

While I was in India, I wished to study the role of SAP in HR but never managed to get proper guidance and an opportunity. Amit, which company are you currently associated with? As for me, I am currently associated with Colesmyer in Australia, located in Melbourne.

My email addresses are bibhutosh@hotmail.com and bibhutosh@gmail.com.

Hi Bibhu,

Thank you, dear, but I only conveyed the information that I had regarding SAP in HR. Presently, I am associated with an IT company located in Ahmedabad.

Hi Amit,

I want to do a course in SAP HR and am presently working in a company as an HR generalist. Could you please let me know some of the institutions' names where I can learn it at a minimum price.

Dear All,

Can you provide me information regarding the institute/company authorized by SAP to provide SAP courses in the economy?

Hi Everybody,

You can learn SAP-HR at Siemens, where the teaching is excellent. The center is located in Chennai. They provide instruction on the technical aspects of each module of SAP. This program costs around Rs. 2.5 lakhs. If you are looking to learn SAP only as a user, there are many coaching centers available that will cost you around Rs. 15,000.

Hope this information is helpful for all of you.

Regards,
Lakshmi

Hi all,

I am also interested in the SAP HR course. If anyone has completed the SAP HR course from Siemens Information System, please guide me on the details of this course, course fees, whether study loans are available, and how useful it is.

Please clarify my doubts.

Hi Amit,

I am a student. I've just finished my undergraduate degree in B.Com. I am very keen on HR and want to explore the various aspects of it. I find the SAP-ERP course very amusing, but I have very vague information about it so far.

Please email me at sanjana.sriram@gmail.com as I would like input from someone experienced. I am planning to take up my MBA or work for a year. When should I start my course and from where? Please suggest valuable links that could provide me with more information.

Hi,

I also want to learn SAP HR. Would you be able to tell me about institutes in Ahmedabad?

Regards,
Ms. Bijal

Hi Amit,

Thank you for the information. Could you please provide details about institutes offering SAP (HR) courses in Pune? Your guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Sanoop

Hi Amit,

Even I want to thank you as I was also having confusion about this course. Do you have any idea about the Siemens SAP course? I'm new to this forum, and I'll be glad if you could guide me on this course. I have just completed my MBA in HR, so what do you think - is this course beneficial for freshers?

Regards, Monica

Hi Sanoop, welcome. Sorry, I don't have any idea regarding the same, but yes, definitely some of the Institutes would be there.

Hello Monica,

Welcome. Sorry, but I don't have any idea about the Siemens SAP course.

In my view, it would be better if you enroll yourself in learning SAP after gaining some experience in the relevant field. This way, you will be able to understand the exact functions of Human Resources. The SAP Course helps you learn how to work on the HR module of the SAP application, i.e., ERP application.

Dear Monica,

With reference to your email, I can give you one suggestion. Rather than doing this course as a fresher with no experience, this will only be an additional certificate but not much else. If you gain a little experience in any of the core parts of HR like:

1) recruitment
2) time office management
3) wage and salary administration
4) statutory
5) performance management, etc.

Then it will be worth doing SAP HR. I will suggest only one thing; first of all, select in which line you want to go in HR, i.e., recruitment or into core HR, etc.

First, decide and gain at least 2 years of experience, then plan to join this course, that too full-time. I wish you all the best for your bright career.

Hello Sai Prashad,

Thank you for your valuable information, Sir. I have decided to gain experience along with SAP training on weekends. Life moves fast today, and after leaving college, I miss my studies. That's the reason I asked: Can't I do this course before getting a job? But I understand that with experience in core HR, I can better understand today's scenarios in this course. ERP is just a database that records the information of all employees right from the beginning, including recruitment, appraisals, promotions, compensation details, etc.

I also want to ask you, why do freshers of MBA(HR) generally get jobs in recruitment only and not in compensation? I completed 2 months of summer training in compensation and benefits survey, so I am looking for a job in this field. I know both are parts of HR, but it's a query I want to clarify. I generally receive calls for recruitment profiles only.

Regards,
Monica

Hello Sai Prashad,

One more thing I want to ask you is, why do freshers of MBA (HR) generally get jobs in recruitment only? Why not in compensation? I did my 2 months of summer training in compensation and benefits survey, so I am looking for a job in this field itself. I know both are parts of HR, but it's just a query that I want to clear up, as I generally receive calls for recruitment profiles only.

Dear Monica,

Good Morning,

Who said that you don't get a job in core HR?

Training for 2 months will not give you great experience. Firstly, start your career in any of the core HR areas, even if it is time office management. Gain an overall experience in all the core components, be thorough in Labour Laws, delve into salary calculation, allowances, and deductions, etc. Participate in training programs you conduct training programs.

Then, you can shift to your interested side of HR.

I do suggest you, once again, don't go for SAP on a part-time basis.

Sai

Hi, I have completed my M.Com in Management and a Diploma in HR. I have 1 year of experience as an HR trainee. Due to some issues in my previous job, I decided to leave and have been working in the purchase department for 3 years now. I am keen on transitioning back to HR, but I am facing challenges in finding suitable job openings. As a solution, I am contemplating pursuing SAP in HR. Can you advise if this is the right choice?

Paul

Hi,

I am Lalitha. Now, I am pursuing my MBA first year. I want to do SAP HR. Please tell me the institutions providing SAP HR courses.

Hi,

I would also like to know the same info... Where can we get the SAP knowledge or a certificate course in SAP-HR? I want a certificate course from an institute as this adds value to the C.V.

Regards,
Priyanka.
