• "The course was very informative, and I really enjoyed it. Especially the exercises were very helpful. Please keep up the good work and provide more openSAP courses or even some sort of preparation course for certification in the direction of lumira designer." Read the original post

• "This was a well-structured course with exactly the content necessary to get a good understanding of the product to either continue digging deeper as developer or know what you need to know as business user or decision maker. It was sufficiently hands on to get to know Discovery, to get the essence of Designer and to get an understanding of the platform.
  In my interest area this was the best OpenSAP training I saw so far. I'd like to see more practical courses exactly going to this level of depth, for example on the other BI applications or (maybe non-core) SAP features." Read the original post

• "It was really an amazing course and it covers pretty much all what you need to know about SAP LUMIRA Special thanks to the team and to Jie Deng and Anja Rusch" Read the original post
