Four principles we've applied since 2022, across 50,000 learners. No magic. Just teaching that respects the SAP learning curve.
No path dropped on you from nowhere. We pin down your situation, your career goal, your real level. The first module is the one you need, not the one that happens to open the catalog.
SAP modules stack like Lego bricks. Present them jumbled and you drop off. Our paths follow the real teaching order, not the order of the SAP GUI menu.
A live SAP system, simulations, exercises built around the job. We mix the modes, because a good SAP consultant doesn't just master tcodes. No slides to stare at in silence for two hours.
You hit a wall two months after the course. You write. We answer. The support doesn't end at the last lesson, it ends when you're self-sufficient.
No anonymous instructors. You know who designs the content, who answers your questions, who stands behind the paths.

I was completely lost before I found this training. Honestly, I knew nothing about the world of SAP, but this program really took me by the hand. Every module is clear, well explained, and above all, you're thrown straight into concrete situations that prepare you for the reality of the job. Today I feel ready to start my career as an SAP consultant, and that's largely thanks to this training. If you're still on the fence, go for it, it's really worth it !
Already an SAP user across several modules for a few years, the Key User Training team genuinely helped me take a leap forward and truly moved my SAP practice ahead. The professionalism and availability of the trainers are their major strengths.
I brought them in for SAP expertise on a little-used PM sub-module during a study and workshop phase, and they were available and rigorous. A consulting approach from end to end, and I'll be bringing them in on the implementation side too.
The interactive way of the course is the best, it's like you are on SAP.
The courses take you by the hand from start to finish. Structured, progressive, theory and practice.
Five courses already with Key User Training. The standout is really the responsiveness, the feedback from the trainers.
It's tailor-made, it's elegant, a custom fit that suits me like a glove.
Theory and practice are well balanced. The training materials are good quality.
Great support as part of my SAP consultant training, real progress in skills across the modules.
The trainers have a very strong command of the subject on the SAP ABAP module.
A team that loves sharing what they know. I recommend them without hesitation.
A clear, instructive course, easy to get started with, accessible to everyone.
Skilled, energetic trainers. Quality support throughout.
It let me make progress at my own pace and efficiently.
The content is well thought out and expertly presented.
A selection from our YouTube channel. A career talk show, a hands-on SAP demo, and a point of reference for anyone still hesitating to take the plunge.

It depends on your goal. If you're aiming for a first SAP role as part of a career change, Beyond the Horizon is the complete learning path, with mentoring and support until you're fully self-sufficient. If you want to explore SAP continuously with no long-term commitment, the Expert Training Center gives you access to more than 1,000 pieces of content. If you're unsure, write to us and we'll point you in the right direction.
Filling the gaps. A junior consultant fresh out of school has rarely worked on a real system, rarely seen a full end-to-end cycle, rarely understood how the modules fit together. The Expert Training Center is built for exactly that: you pick the topics that are blocking you and you make progress in small blocks.
Between 3 and 6 months of regular work on a structured learning path. Beyond the Horizon structures this progression with mentoring. The time to a first role or assignment then depends on your background, your effort and the market: no employment outcome is guaranteed.

Three to six months of regular work is enough to become job-ready on a functional SAP module from scratch. The timing depends on your pace (a few hours a week vs. full-time) and on the path you choose. Beyond the Horizon structures this progression over 3 to 6 months with mentoring. Without a structured path, expect 12 to 18 months going it alone, with a real risk of dropping off.
In France, a junior SAP consultant typically starts between 35 and 45 K€ gross per year depending on the region and the module (technical modules such as ABAP, EWM, and Basis sit higher). In Luxembourg and Switzerland, the ranges are 30 to 50 % higher. As a freelancer, day rates start around 400 € and climb to 600 to 800 € with 2 to 3 years of experience. Pay rises quickly: the big jump comes at the mid-level transition (3 to 5 years).
Yes, and it's actually a profile the market appreciates. At 35 to 45, you bring functional know-how and a professional maturity that the market values on consulting assignments. Most Beyond the Horizon learners are changing careers between 30 and 50, often after a first career in finance, supply chain, HR, or project management. The key factor isn't age but the consistency of your work and your willingness to practice on a real SAP system.
Find your way in, get started on a structured path, and join the learners who no longer wonder where to begin.
