Why this course

How this course helps

Learn how the governance pieces connect

SAP MDG brings data models, governance processes, change requests, validation, replication, and operating roles into one system. Certification preparation is easier when those pieces are studied as a connected model rather than a list of terms.

Master Coach maps the certification, helps you locate gaps, and gives you repeated practice applying the material.

  • Follow the published certification domains and objectives.
  • Ask questions against the supplied course sources.
  • Practise governance and implementation scenarios.
  • Return to weak concepts through an adaptive study plan.
