Study a real business situation

Start with a purchase, customer request, payroll change or stock discrepancy.

02

Identify records and decision points

Who owns the data? What needs approval? What evidence is retained?

Practise in a safe environment

Use sample records and a permitted training environment, never live customer or payroll data.

04

Review the result with a colleague

Explain the exception path and confirm that downstream records remain consistent.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Academy FAQs

Is this an official accredited certification programme?

No. These are publicly available learning guides and exercises. Formal accreditation, exams and certificates are not offered or implied here.

Can I complete the lessons without a Core1ERP account?

Yes. The curriculum, scenarios and workbook can be used for planning and learning without signing in. Product-specific hands-on tasks require an appropriately authorised environment.

How long does the learning pathway take?

The six tracks provide approximately 9–14 hours of suggested self-study. Actual time depends on your role, prior experience and access to a training environment.

Does completing a lesson automatically record progress?

No. This public page does not create learner accounts or store course completion. Use the downloadable workbook to record progress with your team.

How should a business roll out training?

Begin with common ERP foundations, assign relevant functional tracks, practise with non-production data, assess key controls and appoint a responsible process owner.
