No.

Even if you spend the £7000 or so for courses + certification, you still won't get a job.

Possible, but in niche skills where there are a fair few qualified and experienced people around why would you hire a novice even on a reduced rate? I certainly wouldn't.

SAP isn't a single application, but a complex ERP with a lot of specialisms and multiple modules, it's not something you pick up over a few weeks so you can become an effective team member.

I've managed a few SAP implementations and SAP linked programmes but wouldn't call myself an experienced SAP PM.

except I don't know if my laptop has WIFI or not, which probably disqualifies me from geekhood.
