00:00:11,970 --> 00:00:14,810
Hello and welcome to a special 
episode of the SAP Learning 

2
00:00:14,810 --> 00:00:17,890
Insights podcast. 
I am your host, David Chaviano, 

3
00:00:17,890 --> 00:00:20,410
and today we are going to share 
some exciting news about a new 

4
00:00:20,410 --> 00:00:22,450
opportunity for students 
globally. 

5
00:00:23,250 --> 00:00:26,890
All right folks, so SAP has 
recently launched the SAP 

6
00:00:26,970 --> 00:00:29,840
Learning Hub Student Edition. 
It's a free subscription. 

7
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,439
It's designed to help students 
to unlock all the paid and 

8
00:00:32,439 --> 00:00:35,720
commercially locked options 
available on learning.sap.com. 

9
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,920
So for those of you who are 
unfamiliar, if you go into 

10
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:43,040
learning.sap.com, you'll see a 
public website full of plenty of

11
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,800
learning content, learning 
journeys, and all kinds of good 

12
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,240
stuff that's available for free.
So at the face of it, learning 

13
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:50,880
stuff about SAP is free of 
charge. 

14
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,120
Now about SAP. 
All right, So what does that 

15
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,040
mean for you as a student 
specifically? 

16
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,520
So if you sign up for this 
subscription, as you go through 

17
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:02,000
your learning journey, you'll 
find things like live sessions, 

18
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,440
certification exams, the 
training systems. 

19
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,400
So you can actually go onto an 
SAP training system and get your

20
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,480
hands on there and get some 
practical experience. 

21
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,280
All that stuff normally is 
behind a pay wall. 

22
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,400
So you need to have a 
subscription that's normally 

23
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,720
sold to consultants, 
professionals out there in the 

24
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,640
SAP world. 
What we're doing is allowing 

25
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,760
students and faculty to sign up 
for this special subscription 

26
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,240
free of charge that unlocks all 
that good stuff. 

27
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,880
So it locks the ability to take 
up to two certification exams. 

28
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,120
You can use that as either a 
second try for the same exam, or

29
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:36,680
if you're really good, you pass 
the first one. 

30
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:38,840
You can pass the second exam, 
and there you go. 

31
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,560
You have two SAP certifications.
You can attend all of our live 

32
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,200
sessions. 
The practice systems are going 

33
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,160
to be a little bit different. 
The cloud solutions are the only

34
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,680
ones you can access with this 
Learning Hub Student Edition. 

35
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,080
We generally don't want students
learning the old stuff. 

36
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,960
So it's going to be the cloud 
topics that you can get hands on

37
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,000
practice with, but still great 
value free of charge. 

38
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,360
The price is right, all right. 
And you can also stay up to 

39
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:02,760
date. 
So if you're like a a year or 

40
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,520
two students and you have a 
couple years ahead to you, you 

41
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,759
can renew your subscription. 
So it's like a 12 month block of

42
00:02:08,759 --> 00:02:11,560
free time and you can just renew
that and keep all your 

43
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,200
certification up to date until 
it's time to go into the 

44
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,480
workplace. 
All right, so in order to get 

45
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,600
started for the reason, since 
we're talking on audio, I, I 

46
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,240
want to recommend people go to 
learning.sap.com/students. 

47
00:02:23,640 --> 00:02:27,640
That's an easy to express URL 
from audio perspective. 

48
00:02:27,640 --> 00:02:29,720
But in, in the show notes, we'll
put the direct link to the 

49
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,800
registration page as well as an 
onboarding blog with a bunch of 

50
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,880
videos to show you step by step 
how to sign up. 

51
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,600
But if you go to 
learning.sap.com/students, 

52
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,760
you'll see a banner announcing a
free SAP Learning Up Student 

53
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,680
Edition. 
And you click the blue for 

54
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,080
students button. 
You follow the instructions on 

55
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,880
the page and then first up you 
have to create your universal 

56
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,360
ID. 
And then next step is to verify 

57
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,880
your status as a student. 
And we're working with the third

58
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,200
party vendor to verify you as a 
student. 

59
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,160
Depending on your university, 
you might have a different 

60
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,600
experience, but normally you 
should be prepared to log in to 

61
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,760
a small portal with your 
university associated e-mail 

62
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,200
address and password. 
You don't need to have like 

63
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:12,840
a.edu or a specific URL domain. 
I mean, from a university, you 

64
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,560
can basically just log in with 
whatever e-mail you have on 

65
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,840
record with your university. 
So if it's Gmail, that's fine, 

66
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,720
it should work. 
If your university doesn't have 

67
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:25,320
like a login portal, you have to
upload proof of your student 

68
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:26,920
status and it has to be up to 
date. 

69
00:03:26,920 --> 00:03:29,520
So it needs to be like a current
student ID or enrollment 

70
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,480
document, stuff like that. 
So keep in mind this is only 

71
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,040
going to work with currently 
enrolled students at a 

72
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,120
university. 
So if you have like a student 

73
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:38,840
e-mail from like 10 years ago, 
it's not going to work. 

74
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,040
So you really need to be 
currently enrolled as a student 

75
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:42,600
in order to, to go through this 
process. 

76
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,800
But once you make it through 
that verification process, we'll

77
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,400
work in the background to unlock
those features that I mentioned,

78
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,440
Certification, exam attempts, 
practice systems. 

79
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,280
It might take a day or two, but 
in the meantime, you're free to 

80
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,880
start studying whatever learning
journey you've selected. 

81
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,600
Because as I stated before, the 
learning journeys on 

82
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,400
learning.suv.com are available 
free of charge. 

83
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,040
So you can start studying and 
then the next couple days you'll

84
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,880
get all that good stuff, 
certifications, practices, and 

85
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,000
etcetera, unlocked and then 
you'll be on track to getting 

86
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,120
certified. 
So after you make it through the

87
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,959
whole registration process, I 
highly recommend going back to 

88
00:04:16,959 --> 00:04:19,720
the student zone. 
So learning.sab.com/students 

89
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,560
after your successful 
registration, the appearance of 

90
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,240
that page to look a little bit 
different. 

91
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,560
So, so the call to action to 
register should be gone since 

92
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,560
you're already registered. 
And up at the top, as you Scroll

93
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,440
down a little bit, the top 
carousel will display something 

94
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,080
called a Business Suite 
certification for students. 

95
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,760
This one I highly recommend for 
students because it's pretty 

96
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,160
fast. 
So you can achieve your 

97
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,200
certification within about 6 
hours of study. 

98
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,920
It's a new concept of business 
certification, not as technical.

99
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,200
So for those of you who are not 
sure if you want to go into like

100
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,440
the technical world of recipe 
would stay in sort of the 

101
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,720
business consulting side, but 
you still need some background 

102
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,760
of SAP is about, I recommend 
going to that one because it's a

103
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,560
fast certification and you have 
something on your resume pretty 

104
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,960
quick. 
But we also have SAP Analytics 

105
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,800
Cloud and the business processes
in intelligent enterprise 

106
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,280
learning journey. 
So those are a little bit more 

107
00:05:06,280 --> 00:05:07,560
technical, a little bit more in 
depth. 

108
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,080
And those are certifications 
that are tried and true and well

109
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,240
known across the job world. 
So take a look at 

110
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,080
learning.scv.com/students. 
If you don't know where to 

111
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,600
start, we have some good stuff 
for you that you can try out. 

112
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,720
But of course, if you know where
you're going, if you know what 

113
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,480
you want to do, you're free to 
use the search to search for a 

114
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,880
specific topic that you want to 
study, and you can go from there

115
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,840
as well. 
And going forward 2025 and 

116
00:05:29,840 --> 00:05:33,080
beyond the ecosystem, SAP is 
increasingly valuing 

117
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,040
certification. 
So our partners in SAP itself is

118
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,520
very keen to onboard people who 
are already certified because 

119
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,400
it's very important for anybody 
working on implementation 

120
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,000
projects of SAP to be certified 
just as an extra step of quality

121
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,760
control. 
So this is sort of becoming an 

122
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,960
ecosystem standard. 
People are starting to take a 

123
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,920
look at certification and keep 
an eye on that to make sure the 

124
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,320
people going into the projects 
have certification. 

125
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,000
And if you're a new person 
trying to get hired into an 

126
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,480
entry level position, having 
that certification is going to 

127
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,960
increase your chances of getting
a a job interview. 

128
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,040
Granted, you still need all 
those good soft skills that are 

129
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,880
needed the consultant, but that 
certification is definitely not 

130
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,640
going to hurt your chances of 
getting an interview. 

131
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:12,760
All right, so that's basically 
it. 

132
00:06:12,840 --> 00:06:14,560
Keep it short today. 
So go to 

133
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,880
learning.scv.com/students and 
follow any prompts for students 

134
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,120
in the show notes. 
I'll put a link to our 

135
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,520
onboarding blog just so we can 
guide you through this step by 

136
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,600
step. 
And then there you go, you can 

137
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,960
get your free SAP certification 
as a student. 

138
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,000
Happy learning everybody, and 
good luck. 

139
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:31,440
Bye.
