Just In Time Group (JIT), a fully-owned Sri Lankan company and one of the largest systems integrators in Sri Lanka, launched the SAP Academy on 4 December 2012 in partnership with SAP India Ltd. The academy is located within the Imperial Institute of Higher Education (IIHE) Campus at 25 1/1 Station Road, Tower Building, Colombo 4.
JIT has identified the growing demand for SAP education and SAP professionals in the local and international job markets, which enabled them to start the SAP Academy in Sri Lanka. SAP education encompasses a range of benefits to students including a competitive edge in the global IT job market and increased employability.
SAP education also instils the skills and knowledge needed to tackle the most challenging projects and gives a competitive edge to meet the strategic goals of your organisation. Since SAP Consultants are one of the highest paid consultants in the industry, it is a great career pathway.
There are two training methodologies used at the SAP Academy, which are classroom training and web-based training. The classroom training is led by a SAP certified consultant from overseas. The online training course offers more flexibility to the student and promotes self learning. But the course content for both programmes is identical.
“As a SAP business partner promoting SAP industry solutions, ERP, Business Intelligence, CRM and mobility solutions, JIT has made arrangements with some of the SAP customers to offer placements for SAP Academy students. This is a great advantage for those studying at the JIT SAP Academy,” stated Kavinda Mahawedage, Head of Marketing – Just In Time Group.
JIT is forging ahead to ramp up their activities in the coming months and will begin SAP courses in January 2013. As a pre-requisite to obtain a SAP qualification, a student requires a certain level of domain knowledge and experience or a professional qualification. Students will be able to receive SAP course schedules by registering with JIT SAP Academy at IIHE.
