Learning architecture at SAP is based on four pillars that help you master these questions and make the most of your SAP S/4HANA journey:

openSAP platform, SAP Learning Hub, and its social collaboration and learning environment the SAP Learning Rooms and SAP Live Access, i.e. access to SAP training systems all complemented by SAP classroom training.

Taking the first step with openSAP
