Integrated Enterprise Systems (ES) courses are a meaningful supplement to business and IT study programmes at universities. These courses provide a comprehensive understanding of business processes and enterprise systems. Beyond that, specific application knowledge of SAP ERP software is highly relevant for all fields of business activity of the most diverse enterprises. Enterprise systems qualified personnel are in high demand and are particularly sought after by organizations - this education will therefore enhance student marketability and prepare students for project and management positions in complex working environments. ESEFA-Partner universities across Sub-Saharan Africa aim to integrate the ESEFA curricula into existing study programmes and will also offer a 5-day short course ‘ES Fundamentals for Business’ to students.

Benefits of the Short Course ( Cont.) •
Students get hands-on experience on the SAP ERP system where they are able to run similar transactions as would occur in a usual business scenario.
•
Students will be able to take an optional ‘ES Fundamentals with SAP’ qualifying examination at the end of a course. SAP University Alliances (SAP UA) issues proficiency certificates to students who successfully pass the examination. These certificates give students a significant advantage in the job market.
•
Students may attend these courses and write the examination if they are registered students at a recognized tertiary institution and up to three months after they have graduated from a tertiary institution. Students from any other (non ESEFA-Partner) university may attend the short course at an ESEFA-Partner university in their region.
