How the process works

- Advertise/list in Monthly Communication (H.R. Bulletin, Development Flip-Book). You may choose to advertise to a select audience as well.
- Open registration in the SAP Training & Development Portal.
- Provide a finalized participant list/roster 48 hours prior to your date.
- Credit all participants in SAP with course attendance.
- You can request additional services such as printing of course materials, name tags, etc. with a minimum of seven days notice.
