SAP Online Training Site Review

"Where Do I Get SAP Training Online?"
An Opinionated Guide to SAP Training Alternatives
from JonERP.com

Jon Reed’s introduction: I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: if you’re an aspiring consultant, there’s no substitute for getting SAP training and certification directly from SAP, which has classroom training options all over the world. Project team training for in-house teams is a different market entirely. If it’s a matter of getting your in-house team up to speed, there are many viable alternatives to SAP’s own training. I recommend looking at custom, on-site training from quality firms like SAPtips if that’s your interest.

But what if you’re an aspiring SAP consultant and you don’t have the time or funds for training directly from SAP? Are there viable alternatives online? We compiled the list below for just this reason.

If you're in a hurry and don't want to compare each option on the SAP Training Blog, I can tell you that so far I've gotten the best feedback for Michael Management SAP Training. You can compare and contrast all the SAP training options below.
