Academy · Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
SAP HR PowerUser Academy — KSA
A hands-on SAP SuccessFactors end-user program that turns your Saudi teams into confident power users — fully aligned to GOSI, WPS/Mudad, Saudization, and End-of-Service.
Program Overview
SAP HR end-user training, built for how HR works in KSA
The SAP HR PowerUser Academy is an intensive, role-based end-user training program for teams running SAP SuccessFactors in Saudi Arabia. Across a flexible 40-hour program, your people move from clicking around to confidently owning the full HR cycle — hiring, employee data, time, payroll, self-service, and reporting.
What sets it apart is the local lens. Every process is taught the way it actually runs in the Kingdom — GOSI, the Wage Protection System (WPS) and Mudad, Saudization / Nitaqat, Iqama data, and End-of-Service Benefits are woven throughout, so learners are ready for real-world, compliant operations from day one.
