SAP Accounting (Udemy.com)

This is a short overview of finance and controlling in SAP. It runs 78 minutes across 19 lectures and seven sections, starting with what SAP is, moving through client concepts and account determination, then master data and reporting, and closing with a two-minute piece on cost allocation. Jay Dhruv, who teaches under the OJAYO training brand, pitches it at everyone with no prerequisites. The syllabus shows no quizzes or exercises, so it is a glossary-level tour, not a training course.

The reviews are not kind. Of 30 ratings, 12 are three stars, 13 are one or two stars, and only 5 are four or five. The complaint that keeps coming back is the delivery. One reviewer says the narrator mumbles and is tough to follow, another says the English pronunciation is weak and the speaker needs more energy. A third points out there are almost no screenshots or real-world examples. Someone else simply expected more training on SAP accounting than the course gives.

The material was last updated in October 2013, so SAP screens and menus may look quite different now, and the course is thin for a subject this big. With 410 students it is also a small player. It is short and low priced, so the risk is small, but it only makes sense as a quick vocabulary primer. Anyone planning to work in SAP FICO should look for a longer, newer course with hands-on screens.
