ERP with SAP Certificate

About the Program

SAP® is the leading Enterprise Resource Planning software company in the world. Employers are looking for candidates experienced in using SAP® software to better manage business operations. This Certificate can provide valuable hands on experience to help you move up within your organization or find a new position elsewhere.

SAP® Technology will be used as a tool in teaching the concepts and will account for at least 30% of the overall program.

An Education that Fits Your Life

Designed for working adult learners, you’ll learn in an interactive classroom with a Penn State instructor. Accelerated evening courses meet once a week for seven weeks in a video conference classroom or via Zoom with online learning components. As a participant at the host location, receiving location, or via Zoom you are able to communicate with the instructor and interact with students at the other campuses.

Career Potential

SAP® isn’t only a valuable tool nationwide. Demand for applicants with SAP® is growing locally as larger companies are implementing SAP® to help manage business processes. Manufacturing and utility companies are leading the way with the most job postings requesting experience with SAP®.
