Why Smart People Academy

Not just a course.
Built by people who do this every week.

Our trainers are active SAP SuccessFactors consultants, not trainers who used to implement. When they teach, they teach from last week's client, not last year's slide deck.

That's why every module of our SAP SuccessFactors training is aligned with the official SAP SuccessFactors documentation, so what you practise here matches what you'll configure on a live project.

🖥️

Hands-on from session one

Full access to a live SAP demo tenant throughout the entire course. In other words, you configure, test and make mistakes in a real environment, not a sandbox simulation.

👥

Max 8 participants per cohort

Small groups mean real interaction. Therefore, you get direct answers to your questions during the session, not a forum post that gets answered three days later.

🏅

Built for the actual SAP exam

Full mock exam included. The programme is structured around the current certification format, including the performance-based tasks introduced in 2024 and 2025.

🎬

Recordings after every session

Every live session is recorded. Review complex configurations at your own pace, revisit anything that didn't click the first time, or catch up if life gets in the way.

🚀

Career launch support

Bonus webinar on landing your first SF consulting role, direct access to Smart People's consultant network, and job search guidance, because the certification is just the start.

What graduates say

Real people. Real results.

"I enrolled in the SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Consultant course and successfully passed my certification on the first attempt."

"The course gave me a good foundation in SuccessFactors implementation, along with practical exposure to configuring an SAP instance. What I particularly appreciated was that it was a teacher-led course rather than a self-paced one. It was also an evening course, which made it easy to attend after work. We worked on practical problems instead of focusing only on theoretical aspects."

"As someone new to this field, I found the trainer, Flavio, very supportive. He explained concepts in a very simple manner and also shared insights from his practical work experience. The continued access to the SAP instance allowed me to practise regularly, which was a big advantage for me. The course also included a mentoring session, which was very insightful."

"I would recommend it to anyone looking to transition into SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central."
