How to get into SAP Basis
I want to know the prerequisites for SAP Basis. I also would like to learn about the best institute from which to learn SAP, and the associated fees for the course and certification.

Basis means to learn installing and operating SAP. The best entry in SAP Basis is to buy a powerful spare PC with a server operating system (Windows 2003/2008 Server; SUSE, REDHAT Linux) and an SAP subscription in SDNSAP (2000 Euros a year). Then you can install the system over and over again until you understand all the features. For learning, you may want to go to SAP directly; for self-learning, "SAP Access" by michaelmanagement.com is a nice option..
