As an official SAP education partner, Studiengemeinschaft Darmstadt (SGD) develops distance-learning courses for the widely used software. The jury’s key criteria in recognising SGD’s SAP user certification were the product’s practical value, its innovative content, and its suitability for small and medium-sized businesses. “SGD is an official education partner of SAP Deutschland AG & Co KG—the only distance-learning school nationwide at present. We are therefore especially pleased about this award,” explained Brigitta Vochazer, Managing Director of SGD. Interested learners can choose from six different SAP distance-learning courses at SGD, all of which conclude with an original SAP user certificate. E-learning plays an important role in many SGD distance-learning courses. For IT continuing education, use of the waveLearn online campus is even mandatory to a large extent. Alongside printed course materials, practical application of what has been learned through SAP software simulations plays an important role in SAP qualifications. In addition to multimedia learning programs, virtual seminars as well as chats and forums are offered. SGD therefore ensures that knowledge and skills can be applied directly in practice.
SAP expertise is now sought in many professions. Continuing education through distance learning makes it possible to acquire the required knowledge while working, independently of time and place, and to integrate it flexibly into a person’s current stage of life. SGD accommodates individual learning habits through specific combinations of printed, audiovisual, and multimedia learning materials such as CDs and DVDs. Forums and chats are also offered on the waveLearn online campus. Tutors are available at any time for personal discussions on individual questions about the course material.
The recognition of SAP user certification by the Innovation Initiative confirms the high standard of SGD’s distance-learning courses and gives customers, in addition to the certificate, further assurance of sound continuing education.
