The course includes immersive labs conducted in an SAP Learning Hub practice system that mirrors the actual certification exam environment, where students build end-to-end transactional applications using RAP, create data models with CDS views, and expose OData services for Fiori apps. A key project involves developing a custom business object extension for SAP S/4HANA Cloud following Clean Core principles, ensuring upgrade stability and extensibility. Learners also practice using Joule for Developers, SAP’s AI-powered assistant, to generate and optimize code during development tasks.
This course directly supports career advancement by preparing candidates for the globally recognized SAP Certified Associate - Backend Developer - ABAP Cloud credential, which emphasizes real-world competence over theoretical knowledge.
