What do more than 1,200 SAP professionals think of SAP (business enterprise software) training? Michael Management’s 2014 SAP Training Survey found out, tapping into key topics such as training availability, delivery options, and training challenges.
The trend away from traditional classroom training to e-learning continues as more than 51 percent of respondents indicated a preference for online SAP training via instructor-led virtual sessions or e-learning options. The preference for classroom training, on the other hand, dropped from 37 percent in 2013 to 29.5 percent this year.
However, there is a significant gap between the amount of training needed and received. More than 62 percent of respondents received less than 10 hours of training to perform their job well, while 52 percent indicated they should have received more than 31 hours of training. Perhaps the most shocking finding: 41.5 percent of respondents said they have not received sufficient training to perform their job.
These results create a comprehensive look at the SAP training landscape and provide insights into the expectations and needs for future developments. For the complete 2014 SAP Training Survey report, visit: www.michaelmanagement.com/survey.
