A career gap does not remove the experience, judgement or communication skills you built before your break. The goal is to add a current, demonstrable SAP skill.

Select a module aligned with your earlier education or work, follow a structured learning plan and document practical exercises from a complete implementation project.

Prepare a direct explanation of your break, emphasise your readiness to return and support it with current project work, mock interviews and a role-focused resume.
