Trainer sometimes displayed blank screens, cannot fluently pronounce the words required to convey the training. She skipped some sections and the last 3 sections was just her voice, no screen navigation, just her saying go here and do this

By Wanderson Coelho on 1/8/2025

Sometimes her screen was not showing what she was trying to present and from the most important part for me which was 17: HRIS Sync ongoing not showing direct in the system. Instead she was just reading the documentation or a script.

By Heather McClelland on 10/7/2024

This course was helpful to see how EC is actually configured which you don't get a lot of in the SF/SAP course. There were some errors in the recordings which was disappointing but overall it helped.

By Ankita Shah on 9/10/2024

The video was not moving sometime and the way trainer was teaching could have been more informative. Some time while giving examples and showing the system she was getting stuck and moving forward leaving that topic incomplete.

By Shraddha Kekane on 12/18/2023

"In proxy management, only a blank screen was visible instead of the entire screen. The trainer should share their full laptop screen. Workflow section, the audio quality is not audible at the beginning of the video."

By Gabriele Dutz on 10/13/2022

Section 1 and 2 good overview regarding SAP SF history, Implementation method and Data Model. In Section 3 screens are often black and explication takes a lot of time (could be faster)
