Official Training Courses/Certification: SCM 4.0 or 5.0?

I am about to invest some serious time and money into SCM training towards the Planning certification to go along with my professional supply chain management experience (14 years automotive SCM and IT, MBA, but no SAP). I have searched and reviewed the previous threads on the forum regarding the certification process. Thank you all for the insights. But a few more questions...
I am starting from the beginning. What is a better choice for me...SCM 4.0 or 5.0 path? I see the recommended courses are nearly identical. The only difference being:
4.0 lists SCM130 R/3 Planning and Manufacturing and SCM 240 Production Planning
5.0 lists SCM 220 Demand Planning and SCM 230 Supply Network Planning
I can afford to take 3 of those 4 courses along with SCM 200, SCM 212, and SCM 250. Like I said, serious time and serious money.
Being quite new to SAP, I am leaning towards SCM130 to help round out my overall understanding of how SAP manages manufacturing. My other choices would be SCM 220 and SCM 230.
Can anyone offer me some perspective?
Thank you,
Brian

I think you should choose the training based on
a) which part of planning you would be interested in,
b) what is more relevant and would leverage on your current SCM experience and c) where you see possible projects coming up in the near future
Among the popular areas, On one end is Demand planning and SNP  and on the other end is SNP and PPDS.
Then you have GATP and TPVS which are quite niche and growing in demand
Also you need to consider the fact that PPDS/GATP would need a bit of R3 exposure or knowledge.
I would suggest you start with the DP and SNP and move to PPDS once you are comfortable with these areas.
Or go straight to SNP and PPDS and ignore DP for now (or do it by self learning). if you do so its a good idea to get some idea about Masterdata in R3 and Core interface as well.
I dont really think the version matters except for the sake of certification (which i dont have experience with )
hope that helps

    Lots of professionals in design and networking management channels are desirous to obtain various recognized Microsoft certifications like MCSE (Microsoft Certified System Engineer) and MCSA (Microsoft Certified System Administrator). These Testking
    642-446 certifications can shift you from average low rewarding jobs as a programmer towards prosperous and lucrative career. People are crazy today to do anything to obtain such certifications. They invest their time, money, and energy toward achieving
    their goal certifications.
    But beware of internet scammers who commonly lure people into buying various second-hand tutorials and self-study oriented training programs, promising great results with Testking SY0-201 minimal efforts. However at the same time lots of reliable and solid
    web sites are available also, providing comprehensive, well structured, and elaborate study material. It definitely facilitates your process of learning and guaranteeing success.
    It is very important to distinguish a difference between an average and a reliable website. Take time out of your busy schedule and focus on your study course. It is better if you attend a short classroom Testking 640-863 training course instead of using
    self-study oriented programs. If you search online you will come across various websites providing advanced MCSE and MCSA accelerated training courses, seminaries, laboratories, taught by experienced, well educated experts. That is why these classes are better
    than self study programs because they involve better comprehension and learning, more participation, stimulating students' thinking and enhancing their overall skills and knowledge. If a person attends 14 days training course of MCSE or MCSA then he is capable
    enough to formulate a solution in design and Testking VCP-410 network management issue with the help of well-trained professionals. In fact these training classes make the candidate capable of all practical abilities that help him in future career. Training

    Apart from MCSE and MCSA, Cisco certified Network Associate CCNA and Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert certification CCIE are highly demanded in present era. There are various training institutions providing a comprehensive and elaborate training to
    the candidates. These training centers quickly familiarize the students with latest Cisco technologies and hardware. During CCNA and CCIE training sessions , attending students receive constant support and feed-back from well-trained, experienced and certified
    professionals. The instructors here focus not only on theory but at forming and enhancing Testking 642-481 students' practical skills on various aspects of Cisco technologies and hardware. Thousands of graduates recommend professional CCNA and CCIE
    training courses to people who wish to build a solid, strong, successful career in the IT field.
    At the end I would like to recommend Testking MCSE training,Testking CCNA practice test, Testking CCIE training for gaining best guidance for the exams.

    MCSE (Certified Systems Engineer
    for Microsoft) and MCSA
    (Microsoft Certified System
    Administrator). These globally recognized
    certifications are highly desirable because they can
    easily make the difference between a thriving career
    in the lucrative design and average
    low rewarding job as a programmer. (Cisco
    Certified Network Associate) and CCIE

    certifications are also in demand today.
    There are several training centers that offer people
    the opportunity to participate in the development of
    training programs for CCNA and CCIE
    in exchange for a reasonable sum of money.
    When attending a CCNA five or
    six days and the CCIE training course, students can

  • Training and Certification - Apple

    I am a student doing my third year bca, in india. and i look forward to get myself an apple training and certification. any advice?? Xsan and Media Administration Certification or Apple Certified Macintosh Technician (ACMT) Certification.

    It's not possible to state a blanket requirement for education. What education, training and certifications you will need for a job with Apple will depend on the particular job. The job description should state the education and experience they are looking for in a candidate. Look through the jobs in the appropriate category on Apple's employment site and you can get a feel for the type of education you will need to pursue if you're trying to plan your college course path.
    what is  the job of an Apple Certified Macintosh Technician (ACMT)
    Repairing Macintosh computers. See:
    http://training.apple.com/certification/acmt
    and Apple - Xsan and Media Administration Certifications??
    Administering an Apple Xsan distributed storage system. See:

  • Photoshop SDK training/course

    Our research develops texture synthesis algorithms, and we would like to put them into plugins. However, the official documentation doesn't answer many questions we have.
    Is there any Photoshop SDK training, course, tutorial, master class, or up-to-date textbook?
    We currently use CS6 on Macs, but any information would be useful.
    Thank you,

    Great idea.

  • Regarding Project Managment Training and Certification

    Dear All,
    I am interested in Project Management Certification.
    Is there any different courses/certification available for Project Management related to SAP   or   I can get the training for PMP certification from PMI approved training institute and appear for examination.
    Request you all to please guide me for the same.
    Regards,
    Nirav Bhatt

    Good question. The C_PM_70 or Associate SAP Project Manager certification is geared specifically for practitioners that have existing industry certification (or work towards one - as most classes in the curriculum award PDUs). So the short answer is yes I would recommend you looking into this certification.
    As to your questions:
    1. Yes
    2. Currently the C_PM_70 course curricula is predominantly classroom. We are working on moving the courses to e-learning mode with our SAP Education teams. We should see key classes becoming e-learning based in 2013. We had used this model internally and have very good feedback from practitioners.
    3. We have seen some of our PMs prepare for the exam by studying the methodology directly by reviewing it in detail. The only publication that is in the market and discusses ASAP 7 is the book 'Real-world BPM in an SAP environment' by SAP PRESS. It provides overview and description of the methodology, but does not go into the detail you will need in the exam.
    4. The C_PM_70 curriculum is built for all experience levels and from our internal adoption I can say that key courses most experienced PMs needed were Solution Manager course and ASA380 as they cover the core of the exam. We also recommend to do either self study of Run phase if you have less experience in ALM and Operations topics.
    I hope this helps.

  • I need help finding a training course for FCP X

    I am on Larry Jordan's site, but that only involves watching videos.  I learn better by working on a project at the same time.  This newbie needs some direction.  I need a hands on training course.  Please help.

    As some of the others have stated both Ripple Training and Lynda.com are excellent options. Lynda.com offers a very wide range of training (including Logic Pro X, Motion 5, Compressor 4, etc.) that you can access via subscription. If you want to work directly with project files then you will need the higher end subscription to download the course files. Lynda.com just updated their FCPX training to the latest version of the software. Ripple Training is also excellent, and comes from the guys behind the FCPX & Motion certification courses. Their training is offered a la carte, and will run you a few hundred dollars to get everything.
    Another great option is MacProVideo.com, they offer both purchases and subscriptions and have a decent range of courses. Their new Film Craft series isn't about FCPX, but is absolutely worth taking if you're new to the industry. They have great FCPX training, but are much more geared towards music programs.
    You aren't likely to find a one size fits all approach to your training needs, and honestly, if you've got the time, complete as many of them as possible. Both Lynda and Ripple offer excellent courses on the art of editing. Ripple Training's Motion courses are second to none.
    One more option would be taking a course at an Apple Certified Training Center. I didn't do this for FCPX, but did for my Logic Pro X & Motion 5 certifications and it worked out very well. The downsides are that it's very expensive, but you get to sit with an instructor, ask questions, and at the end of the course you can take the certification exam for free (well, included in your class). You really can't go wrong as long as you keep your education moving forward.

  • Feedback about official Oracle courses

    This is duplicate thread from Feedback about official Oracle courses
    I've become official Oracle [url http://gplivna.blogspot.com/2007/08/new-experience-ive-completed-my-first.html]course trainer recently. It was nice experence.
    However in my very first course as a trainer I've found at least one incorrectness I'd like to report. The question however is - whom to report?
    Obviously this public forum is not the right place.
    Unfortunately there wasn't any feedback address (except snail mail) on course materials and my course organizer also could not help. I'd prefer some faster (and easier to perform) communication methods than snail mail, for example, some e-mail address... :)

  • How do I get a Connect Training Course to update my Captivate Presentation Version?

    I am using a presentation with quiz created in Adobe Captivate 5.  I am using this as a online training course on Adobe Connect.  I published the first two versions, which are reflected in user reports in Connect.
    However, I have made some important changes to the Captivate Presentation, and have published them to the Adobe Connect Server in the correct location. On the connect Admin page, it shows the updated version date/time for creation and uploading.  But when I have someone go to take the course, it is still the previous version that gets loaded.
    How do I force or get the most updated version to be used on Connect?

    It could be a 'caching' issue with the browser....so easy first check is to clear your browser cache then load Connect and the link again... Still not correct?
    Then only thing I can suggest is you post the question to the Connect discussion group (as I don't know much at all about file management in Connect....)
