Payroll errors, scattered employee records, and recruitment processes stuck in spreadsheets cost organisations more than money — they cost trust. SAP HR is the system most large organisations turn to in order to fix exactly that, and the professionals who can configure and run it are in constant demand.

The Arab British Fellowship Training Academy’s SAP HR Consulting & Implementation Training Course is built for people who want to move beyond using SAP HR as an end-user and start configuring, customising, and advising organisations on it as a consultant.

Participants work through the system module by module — from core employee data and payroll to recruitment, training, and performance — while also learning how SAP HR integrates with other organisational systems to support faster, better-informed HR decisions.

Who Should Attend?

• Information-systems and HR management consultants
