gofestac, suprised you are talking about arranging internships in nigeria which should 'cost a bit'. Is this cost payment for the internship programme or payment to the job broker? In addition, if anyone patronizes your business by paying for a server or server access, what guarantees are there that they will 1. Get it immediately or 2. support in case of malfunctions etc? Can you provide any references? You are based in the UK, you have not told us what system specs are required for this installation. Power outages in Nigeria, what effect will this have on the well running of the server? What servers exactly do you install?

@markos and ant01, the sap mkt is picking up again, thank God, but what are the prospects of getting placements or internships in Europe and how do you suggest I go about it. (I live in the UK by the way).

My back ground is in Petroleum engineering but i am a bit versatile with geology and reservoir data maintenance and reservoir simulation software utilization.


I did self studies but i compare note with 2 of my friends that paid for their training. By doing that, i was able to mapped the area that i need to concentrate on.

I used their laptop that contain install IDES for practice

I took the exam at SAP lab, London

If any one need the training materials that i use, i can upload it.

Please I will appreciate it if you can send the materials to me at ebeiyamba@gmail.com, thanks a lot alutaaa

Guys, I am based in London and I am SAP certified with a distinction (89%) in SD (SCM) You dont have to believe all you hear from people. First I will tell you that SAP is not easy. it is very rewarding, but you need to persevere. Certification gives you an edge, in that you know the stuff thoroughly, but what matters most is experience. As a fresher, you will have to work with an end-user or super-user for a while before you start contracting. Or, if you have studied and gotten certified (because that is the only way to be sure you have covered all neccesary ground) you can be an intern for a while and get on a life cycle implementation as a support consultant. Having said that, Ithere is no need to wait for anyone to send u ceretification materials. You can google them and depending on ur module look for the following: IF FICO - YOU NEED THE COMPLETE TAFI books. If SD you need TASD books, If MM, you need TAMM books and so on. Everything that comes out in the exams (multichoice questions, of which you must score minimum of 70%) comes from those materials. I have my own SAP ECC 6.0 server which I use to practice at home, this is easy to get if you have the right specs on your laptop or desktop. Please do as I did and help yourself.

I can offer a bit of advice on certification and the way to go but you should also be willing to help yourself. Nobody spoonfed me or anyone i know who has made it in this industry. Its all down to hard work , determination and dedication. Im not saying I have made it yet o, but with God on my side, Im sure Im on the right track. Lets share info and assist each other.

Congratulations to those that passed the certification!! no doubt you are only a step away from starting a career in SAP, all you need now is experience, for those in the UK, try square one resources, they are quite good at placing candidates, also register in linkedin, thats a good way to build networks, i believe they even have a nigerian SAP users group in there, i believe SAp wil make inroads in the Africa market this year, the big players will have to implement SAP as their business software sooner or later, your skills might be needed, all you need is lifecycle experience under your belt, definitely not impossible

To Alutta, the new certified consultant with petroleum experience, you are probably sitting on a goldmine, you should consider IS oil experience, you already have the background well suited to the oil & gas market, all you need is that extra SAP IS oil solution, getting training is quite limited though, even SAP head offcie in the UK only offer interactive training sessions and will still knock you back 500-2000 pounds

SAP live roles in Nigeria, not sure the accuracy of these job adverts, you can verify if they are indeed live roles

Good day
i had a little problem with my IDES sometime ago,i made a little effort to

repair but lost patience,formatted and reinstalled the IDES

My machine is partioned into vista and windows server 2003

on the windows side i used tune up utilities to optimize the system but after

that i tried using my IDES for training and it keeps giving me this error.This

error message was the same with the first one that made me format and reinstall

the IDES

This time i dont want to format,i want to really solve this with YOUR assistance

when all done fails then i will format and install again

this is the error message
SAP 710
Connection to partner 10.10.10.34:sapdp00 broken
WSAECCONNRESET:Connection reset by peer

DETAILED error

I NEED YOUR EXPERIENCE IN ANALYSIS OF THIS ERROR AND A SOLUTION TO SOLVING IT.

^^^ What I have realised is that its best to dedicate a system to the IDES and not connect to internet on it or instal any AV or optimizers. These optimizers and anti virus packages pick up files SAP uses as obsolete or malware and remove them from the system thereby causing errors when you try to run Sapserver. Just my observation though.

Hi Alutaa, and everyone, my background is physics without any special computer programming or engineering skills but i do know how to use the computer so well. I contacted a training centre in India (Genovate) and was advised after sending my CV to go for SAP HR module. Pls Alutaa and the general house help send materials you think i ll need to begin my dream career. I need this ASAP as im looking to write the exam before the year end.

my email is abbmesq@yahoo.com

God bless you.

Hi Abu$M, i am trying to understand why you had to get advise on what core competency or module would suit you. Ideally I would have expected that it should depend on what interests you have. Before you finally start on HR, have you researched all the other SAP options available? Secondly, there are new solutions that may be more geared towards your physics background than HR. have you considered those? like IS Oil and Gas and IS Pharma. I want to believ you have researched all that and settled for HR. Dont misunderstand me, HR is also in high demand but u need to be sure before embarking on the path. All the best.

Thanks so much sappiel>>> infact i have not had time to research like you said, but i just did a few minutes ago and discovered IS Oil and gas, believe me i think thats what i want. Could be pls info me more on this. I need your guide seriously. I m determined to get through with SAP, may i mail you pls? i need your contact.

Abu$M, im happy I was of some use . Im certified in SCM (Supply Chain Management - SD), so i dont know much about O&G, but you can ask on this forum and I saw some posts yesterday from people towing that path. On the other hand, (as well) spend good time googling SAP IS-Oil and Gas and have a jotter besides you, I can assure you, you will learn a lot to enable you chart your study pattern. I advice that you search SAP IS-OIL AND GAS CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS, it should help.

Thansk so much sappiel, im doing that right now, how ever i would still like to have your contact, so i could be updating you from time to time as i climb up the steps. Again if u ve got an idea of the ideal place to take the eaxm and possibly some industrial / practical internship, do let me know. For once, i would be dedicating my energy to this career path and i know God will fix it for me. Thanks so much

Another important tip for people who are self studying (I did!!!), is that you go and google CERTIFICATION COURSES for your module. copy the course outline, and start googling each of the course topics individually, you are likely to find free ones , some sites that have a lot of free sap stuff are scribd, slideshare and look for the rapidshare links. (This info im giving you is FREE, and it was from my long hours of research!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!). also, join linkedin and look for groups that relate to your field, and a useful place to start may be SAP CONSULTANTS OF NIGERIAN ORIGIN. Invite some members and they may be able to assist you. I am a lady who works very hard and believe that the surest way to success is hard work!

Oh yeah Sappiel, you are adarling, i can't appreciate you more, i ll do all you said and trust me, i ll share my testimony. I have lost so much years after graduation, and lost so much flair and so much energy. For some time now i have been thinking, of the sure direction to regain the lost time and stay ahead, and i knew SAP is the way. It pleases me to find out that SAP is alot of hard work as such, i ll do everything i can to bring it down. like markos and kiwi, i ll be posing up there soon.

Thansk alot sappiel,

Abu$M, I live in the UK so im not sure about exam centres anywhere else. However, please spend the next 6 months studying hard and perfect the requirements before you start looking for internships. Its not easy o! But trust God. SAP is very rewarding with people earning in the region of £1000 per day, but you have to work EXTREMELY HARD! One thing I will advice anyway (free info again) is that you look for jobs no matter how low in a company that uses SAP and stay there for 6 months to a year, it counts for experience, and after that, the sky is the limit. You can start contracting .
