“Having the opportunity of being selected for the SAP Next-Gen Lab at Fayetteville State University for 2020 was one of the most rewarding experiences of my career. Working as a Finance professional for 10+ years and working in SAP, I felt that there was still something missing. When the opportunity for this certification came about, I was extremely interested. I felt I had all of the qualifications. I have worked in most areas of the SAP module, I have been instrumental in many implementations over the years and I was a key person with my IT teams for SAP throughout my career. The one thing I will tell you is that all the experience I had prior does not measure the amount of knowledge I gained during the certification program.”

“ I am grateful to BCBE for offering the opportunity to be a part of the SAP Next-Gen program as it helped immensely in finding a career path that I'm currently enjoying and wouldn't have even been aware of in the first place. I am truly appreciative to Dr. Adivar and FSU as a whole for allowing me to learn and grow both professionally and personally in the way that I have. ”
