Basis Academy

Hi All

I am taking on the SAP Basis Academy

I am currently working in a SAP environment

What can i do to prepare myself for the Academy in terms of reading material and also tasks that i can perform at work.

I will be doing the academy in south Africa, does the location make a difference in the course material?

What functions can i start performing and getting to know to better prepare me for the course and the exam.

Thanks in advance
