ABAP is a highly sought-after programming language in IT | Interview with Horia Ciuclaru

Horia Ciuclaru has extensive experience as an ABAP developer, during which he has been exposed to a variety of development projects for companies in the automotive and financial industries. Passionate about this field, he is involved in growing an online community of ABAP programmers, is an ABAP trainer, and is a career consultant at a company known both nationally and internationally.

At Informal School of IT Cluj-Napoca, he will mentor everyone passionate about technology who wants to learn how to develop some of the most complex applications for the corporate segment.   He tells us more himself about the training program, which will run for 20 weeks, over 100 hours:

1. Who is the ABAP Development program for?

The online ABAP Development course is aimed at everyone who wants and has the ambition needed to learn a programming language that has recently become highly sought-after in IT. Right now, the biggest companies in the world use programs built in ABAP for their business processes. So, this educational program is designed for those who want a new career in IT, or for those who simply want to learn a programming language that is only now beginning to enter the university curricula in our country.

Informal School of IT offers a practical learning alternative, constantly adapted to industry realities.

2. What skills do you need to take this program?

Basic technical knowledge is required. Regardless of whether you studied at a technical or a humanities-focused university, what matters most is being drawn to learning about and building programs used by a wide variety of companies across different areas of business processes.

 
 

Course sessions will be organized as workshops, with classic lecturing replaced by building applications that simulate the real-life processes of a company

3. What will those who take the 20 weeks of courses learn?

Since we're talking about a career-change program, we'll start with the basics, both in programming and in managing business processes within companies. Informal School of IT students will understand, step by step, what happens behind the applications used to optimize various processes.

If you haven't thought until now about what happens when you buy a car or a product online, after going through the 20 weeks of courses, you will certainly understand what big companies do to optimize these kinds of processes.

4. What teaching methods will be used?

To ensure the most effective learning process possible, the courses will be organized as workshops, with classic lecturing replaced by building applications that simulate the real-life processes of a company.

5. How well prepared will the graduates be for the job market?

Considering that we're talking about a programming language that is relatively new in our country, one that is only now beginning to be introduced into the curricula of traditional education, Informal School of IT students will, without a doubt, have an edge in the job market. ABAP Development will give them the knowledge needed to start a career in IT at any company in the field that works with this technology. And the number of such companies is continuously growing in Romania.

6. What is the market demand for ABAP jobs?

If 5 years ago there were only a few companies looking for people in this niche, now their number is quite large and the trend is upward. Many companies are reorienting themselves and want to work with this technology. The market demands well-trained people, and the Informal School of IT program is an opportunity to be trained according to industry expectations.

A message for readers:

Technology and society are evolving at an astonishing pace. In the coming years, we will be able to see more and more clearly how different aspects of our lives will change because of technological inventions. The world is changing even as you read this interview.
