Our take

Based on the ratings of 16,082 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in October 2016. No course pays to be reviewed.

Peter Moxon's ABAP course is a screen-recorded walkthrough of the fundamentals. It runs about 13 hours across 133 lectures. It opens with an SAP system overview, then covers the Data Dictionary and the ABAP editor, and moves through calculations, strings, debugging, database tables, selection screens, internal tables and modular code with includes, forms and function modules. The requirements assume you can already find your way around the SAP GUI, and the description points to his separate intro course for that. It is aimed at newcomers to ABAP, though a reviewer with programming experience found it slow.

Students mostly praise the teaching. Reviewers call the explanations easy to understand, and several first-timers say it gave them a solid start. Most of the roughly 16,000 ratings are four or five stars. The complaints are about age. The last update was in October 2016, and reviewers report old syntax, a mix of old style and newer best practice, and a dead SAP install link in the first section. One reviewer wanted terms like field versus data element explained, another notes there are no exercises, and a third says the videos could use some editing.

Treat this as a gentle first pass at the concepts, not a guide to modern ABAP. Anyone heading for S/4 HANA work will need other sources for newer syntax, and everyone will need their own way to get a working SAP system, since the install link is reported broken. With more than 86,000 students behind it, the course has clearly helped plenty of people get started. For a true beginner who wants the ideas explained patiently, it is still a reasonable place to begin.

Best forComplete ABAP beginners who can already navigate the SAP GUI and want a calm, slow walkthrough of the basics.
Skip it ifYou want current ABAP syntax, S/4 HANA material, or exercises and quizzes to practice on.

Pros

  • Reviewers say Moxon explains ABAP basics in plain terms that beginners can follow
  • Opens with a system overview, Data Dictionary and editor, so new people are not dropped into code cold
  • Big sections on selection screens (17 lectures) and internal tables (21 lectures)
  • 4.6 stars from over 16,000 ratings, with most reviews at four or five stars

Cons

  • Last updated in 2016; reviewers report old syntax mixed with newer best practice
  • The SAP install link in the first section is reported broken, which stalls some starters
  • No quizzes or coding exercises, and experienced programmers find the pace slow
Is a little outdated, but the instructor gives an overall explanation of developing in ABAP really easy to understand

Listed as all levels, but it really suits ABAP newcomers who can already move around the SAP GUI.

It is below my experience in programming, so it's a little slow, but worth taking because I haven't programmed in SAP yet, and others new to programming will benefit.

By Ngnombouowo Fonzong Mesmin Cyriaque on 4/9/2026

A very detailed course, although it is completely out of date. The trainer goes into great detail, which helps the learner understand the ins and outs of the subject. The links are also out of date, as none of them work.

By Игнатьев Олег on 3/19/2026

Отличный голос у автора и понятное объяснение.

By Paul Spanbauer on 2/28/2026

Could tighten up the videos with some editing but overall very good. I am interested in some of the ABAP improvements introduced in S/4 HANA (a hint to the instructor).

By Luis Daniel Baylon Rubio on 2/9/2026

Great course. You might need some previous ABAP/SAP concepts but it isn't anything too advanced or hard to understand so you can just google it and keep going with the course

By Haris Azeez on 2/6/2026

Simple examples used to understand the concepts
