I’ve been on an SAP course

Posted by Techboy on Friday, February 20th, 2009

I spent the last 3 days on an SAP course (ADM315 – Workload Analysis AS ABAP). The course itself was very good, interesting and informative. Plus it was taught well and there were only 3 students which was nice. The only slightly disappointing thing is that it finished at 13:30 today – it was supposed to be a 3 day course, but was easily just a 2.5 day course. I doubt they will be refunding half a days money… It would have been nice to have had more content.

The lunches were good but the hotel dinners were not so good. I went to a local cinema and although it had 14 screens, I was in screen 14 and it was tiny – just 6 rows of seats! I saw ‘He’s just not that into you‘ which was okay, although ‘Love Actually‘ is similar and far better.
