Combined SAP Training Event Template and Spreadsheet

Great news - we have combined the old Event Submission Template and SAP Training Spreadsheet into one form. You will simply complete the Event Template section of the form as you did in the past and submit. You will receive a confirmation email letting you know your event has been posted to the calendar. Then after your training event is finished you will complete the bottom section of the form and submit.

Please note, if you have already submitted an Event Submission Template for an event already on the calendar - you do not need to submit the event template section now (we don't want duplicate events on the calendar). Simply complete both sections when you submit the SAP Training Spreadsheet section for participants to get their Act 48 hours and SAP certificates.
