On behalf of the CRM & CX Product Learning CoE Team, it is my pleasure to introduce you in this blog post to the latest trainings and knowledge enablement offerings about SAP Commerc Cloud.
If you prefer to watch a presentation with interesting Q&A directly, here is a recorded event I gave via SAP Community Call in January 2022.
What Do We Offer
As the team Commerce (Aka. Education SAP Commerce Cloud) under Product Learning CRM and Customer Experience of SAP Learning, we are responsible for producing and managing SAP Commerce Cloud Training and Enablement Content, with the essential content delivered in the forms of:
- Instructor Led Trainings (ILT)
- E-Learning courses on SAP Learning Hub
- Live sessions on SAP Learning Hub
- Video Resources on Open SAP Microlearning Platform
Let me walk you through the listed offerings one-by-one:
1. Instructor Led Trainings (ILT)
is the classic way where a SAP authorized instructor conducts a training for a group of learners, with real-time interaction for questions, feedback and discussion possibilities.
Our ILTs can be hold the following 3 forms:
- in-person: as classic classroom style with experienced instructors guided trainings.
- online as VLC (virtual live classroom): conducted via secured video communication software (e.g. Zoom) with the same instructors, training content, duration and training systems, without travels/physical contacts, so that learners can attend the training directly from company or even home.
- hybrid (combing in-person classroom and VLC training): a classroom training for the learners who want to attend the training in-person, while the training is also broadcasted at the same time as VLC to the learners who rather stay home learning.
We offer the ILTs (in-person, VLC or hybrid):
- public trainings with a predefined schedule for learners from all over the world. The training schedules can be found directly in the individual training page of SAP training shop (typically right after the course information section).
- private trainings to best fit your needs: you can request a custom training, by scrolling down to the bottom of the individual training page, and find the section of “Can’t find a suitable date?” with 2 possibilities:
- request a training date: if you have 1-2 learners to book for a training
- 3 to RUN training: if you have 3+ learners and want to organise a custom training just for your leaners, give the necessary information in the request form and you will be contacted for further details.
Here are some of the selected ILTs that are of interest of most learners;

2. E-Learning courses on SAP Learning Hub
Our E-Learning courses refer to those self-paced learnings on SAP Learning Hub. These are delivered to you as well-designed and guided training/enablement material, which includes:
- guided/organized videos with interaction elements: typically consists of a list of modules/topics, which are presented as guided videos with self assessment quiz at the end, or video(s) of a recorded session about a certain topic.
- training handbooks: downloadable pdfs of training material for theory and practices/exercises/trails.
- training system access: also known as live access system, which is assigned to the learner as the training environment, so that the learner can perform the exercises of a training directly without configuring his/her own local environment.
To access to the E-Learning course material, please log into SAP Learning Hub with your subscribed account, and type “SAP Commerce (Cloud)” (or any other keywords of your interest) as the search term. The returned result can look as follows:
Please note the red rectangle marked keywords:
- “E-learning” or “Video” refers to guided/organized videos
- “Handbook” refers to training handbooks
- “Practice” refers to training system access
Compared to ILTs with scheduled trainings, the E-learning courses enable learners to learn anywhere and anytime they want. Therefore, they are especially suitable for those who either can’t have dedicated time for scheduled instructor led trainings, or rather learn the enablement content by themselves flexibly.
Here are a list of selected E-Learning courses that are of interest of most leaners:
- SAP Commerce Cloud Business User Online: Link
- SAP Commerce Cloud Migration Essentials: Link
- SAP Backoffice Framework Fundamentals: Link
- SAP Commerce Cloud System Administrator Online: Link

3. Live sessions on SAP Learning Hub
Our live sessions are also offered on SAP Learning Hub as Instructor Led Sessions, with SAP authorized instructor and live interaction for questions and discussions as well. However, live sessions differ from the Instructor Led Trainings regarding the followings:
- live sessions are shorter: typically 1-2 hours per session, or consists of a number of short sessions.
- live sessions are more focused: on one module, one component, or one use case of a feature within SAP Commerce Cloud.
- live sessions are more up-to-date: usually contains latest information/content, because they are more easily kept up-to-date around to the focused content, compared to updating an entire training with a number of related modules.
Our live sessions can be found on SAP Learning Hub, e.g. the blue rectangle marked keyword “Webinar” in the search result figure above refers to the live sessions.
If leaners are most interested at specific topics/areas of SAP Commerce Cloud, some of the selected live sessions below may be good learning assets:
