Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Will the SAP PM Level 1: Plant Maintenance Fundamentals course I am interested in definitely take place?
The presented course has the status: STANDARD (NOT GUARANTEED).
This depends on the status of the selected course:
- If the date is marked as GUARANTEED: Yes, 100%. The course will run exactly on the scheduled date and times, regardless of attendance. Even if you are the only person on the list, the course will be delivered without any extra fees.
- If the date is NOT GUARANTEED (standard date): The course launch depends on gathering the minimum number of participants. Once the group is confirmed, you will receive final confirmation. If attendance is too low, we will offer you an alternative date in advance (often already guaranteed).
We don't have enough employees for a closed course. Is a public course a good choice?
Absolutely! Public courses are designed specifically to enable the development of individual employees or small teams of 2-3 people. You only pay for your participants, and we place them into a group with professionals from other organizations. You gain knowledge within an optimal budget.
What happens if I enroll in the SAP PM Level 1: Plant Maintenance Fundamentals course and the group does not gather?
We always notify you well in advance. In such a situation, we won't leave you without support. We will offer you the nearest available guaranteed date, a transfer to another course, or, if none of the options suit you, a 100% refund of the fees paid.
Will I work on a live SAP system during the course?
Yes, the course includes practical workshops in a dedicated live-lab environment. Each participant receives direct access to the SAP system, enabling independent hands-on practice in navigation, configuring technical objects, creating failure notifications, and processing maintenance orders.
Do I need prior experience with the SAP system?
No, prior knowledge of SAP is not required. The course starts from the foundations of system architecture, transaction codes, menu navigation, and screen customization. A basic understanding of general plant maintenance workflows is sufficient.
Which specific technical areas of SAP PM will I learn at this level?
The program covers technical asset modeling (functional locations, equipment, hierarchies), maintenance notification logging, work order generation, and tracking progress using standard SAP reporting lists.
How are online sessions delivered and what are the hardware requirements?
The course is delivered interactively live via an online video-conferencing platform. To participate, you need a computer with a stable internet connection, an up-to-date web browser, and a headset with a microphone. SAP laboratory access is fully provided as part of the course.
