SAP RAP Training
Become a job-ready SAP RAP (ABAP RESTful Application Programming Model) developer. Learn OData v4 services, behavior definitions, managed/unmanaged Business Objects and draft handling on a live S/4HANA system — with certification guidance and placement assistance.
What you learn in this SAP RAP course
The ABAP RESTful Application Programming Model (RAP) is SAP's strategic model for building modern OData v4 services and Fiori applications directly on the ABAP stack. As S/4HANA replaces classic ABAP development patterns, RAP has become the standard skill for on-stack and embedded extensibility.
This course takes you from CDS view modeling to full behavior-driven application development. You will define service bindings, build managed and unmanaged RAP Business Objects, implement validations, determinations and actions, handle drafts for transactional apps, and connect your services to Fiori Elements UIs — through guided, hands-on labs on a live S/4HANA system.
Why SAP RAP skills are in demand
RAP is SAP's mandated model for new ABAP development on S/4HANA and ABAP Cloud, keeping demand high.
Standard for New Development
SAP mandates RAP for new custom development on S/4HANA, replacing classic ABAP patterns.
ABAP Cloud Readiness
RAP skills are essential for building extensions compatible with SAP's ABAP Cloud and Steampunk environments.
Fiori Backend Demand
Every Fiori Elements app needs a RAP-based OData v4 service behind it, driving strong backend developer demand.

SAP RAP Training — Frequently Asked Questions
What is SAP RAP?
SAP RAP (ABAP RESTful Application Programming Model) is SAP's modern framework for building OData v4 services and Fiori applications directly on the ABAP stack using behavior definitions, behavior implementations and CDS views.
Who should take the SAP RAP course?
ABAP developers upgrading from classic development, SAP technical consultants, and Fiori/UI5 developers who need to build the backend OData services their apps consume.
Do I need ABAP experience to learn RAP?
Yes, working knowledge of ABAP (or willingness to learn ABAP fundamentals alongside) is expected since RAP is an ABAP-based framework.
How long is the SAP RAP training?
The program typically runs 6 to 8 weeks with instructor-led sessions, hands-on labs and a capstone project.
Is the SAP RAP training available online and classroom?
Yes. Placeonix offers instructor-led classroom training in Hyderabad and live online sessions.
Will I get access to a real S/4HANA system?
Yes. Labs are done in ABAP Development Tools (Eclipse) against a live S/4HANA or ABAP Cloud-enabled system so you build and test real Business Objects.
What topics are covered in the SAP RAP curriculum?
CDS view modeling, service definitions and bindings, behavior definitions and implementations, managed vs unmanaged Business Objects, draft handling, validations and determinations, actions, and Fiori Elements integration.
What is the difference between managed and unmanaged RAP Business Objects?
Managed Business Objects let the RAP framework generate standard create/update/delete persistence logic automatically, while unmanaged Business Objects require you to implement all persistence logic yourself, typically for complex or legacy-integrated scenarios.
Are there hands-on projects?
Yes. You build a managed RAP Business Object with draft handling, an unmanaged scenario, and a capstone OData v4 service consumed by a Fiori Elements app.
Does this course prepare me for SAP certification?
The curriculum aligns with SAP's ABAP Cloud / RAP-related associate certification topics. Trainers provide guidance and practice material; the official exam is administered by SAP.
What job roles can I target after SAP RAP training?
SAP RAP Developer, ABAP Cloud Developer, S/4HANA Technical Consultant and Fiori Backend Developer roles.
Is SAP RAP in demand?
Yes. RAP is SAP's strategic model for on-stack/embedded extensibility on S/4HANA, and demand is rising as classic ABAP development is phased out for new builds.
Do you provide placement assistance for SAP RAP?
Yes. Placeonix provides resume building, mock interviews, interview questions, LinkedIn optimisation and referrals to hiring partners.
What is the batch size?
Batches are kept small (maximum 30) so every learner gets individual attention.
Can working professionals join?
Yes. Weekend and evening batches are available for working professionals.
Will I get a course completion certificate?
Yes, a Placeonix course completion certificate, with guidance toward the official SAP certification issued by SAP.
How is SAP RAP different from SAP CAPM?
RAP builds OData services inside the ABAP stack using ABAP Cloud, ideal for on-stack/embedded extensions on S/4HANA. CAPM builds services on SAP BTP using CDS with Node.js or Java, ideal for side-by-side extensions.
What is the fee for the SAP RAP course?
Fees vary by batch, mode and combo package. Contact the Placeonix admissions team for current fees and offers.
Do you offer combo packages with SAP ABAP or UI5?
Yes. The SAP Fiori Full-Stack combo pairs SAP RAP with SAP UI5/Fiori for end-to-end app development at a bundled price.
Where is the SAP RAP training centre located?
Placeonix is located at Kapil Kavuri Hub, No. 144, 9th Floor, 152, Financial District, Hyderabad, Telangana 500032. Online training is available across India.
