Structure of the Training
|
There are three components to the training
- Videos with detailed demos
- Hands-on exercises and their solutions
- Live Q&A sessions with a trainer
|
The 5-day training is modular, which means that you can choose to participate in the full training or to just 1 or 2 modules.
Nevertheless,
the first day of the training is compulsory for everyone. The Monday is compulsory because the
introduction of Flectra is important before going through the other modules.
Each day of the week starts from 9 AM (CEST/PST) to 12 PM (CEST/PST). A Q&A session will be hosted by an Flectra trainer.
Each day, the participants are expected to have done the following
BEFORE attending the Q&A session:
- Watch the videos for this day
- Do the related exercises (written solutions will be provided upfront as well)
- Send their questions by email before 5PM (CEST/PST) on the previous business day
The Q&A session will be hosted on a web conference service.
A stable internet connection is required. The trainer will
screen the questions for the day and select the most relevant ones to be answered during the session. The purpose of the
Q&A session is not to cover questions related to a specific implementation project or company-specific business
workflows. The
questions should be about the material covered in the videos and the exercises and should benefit
the other participants of the training as well.
Each day of the week is dedicated to specific applications in Flectra as per the following planning:
-
Monday:
Introduction, CRM, Sales Management
-
Tuesday:
Access rights, Purchase, Sales & Purchase management, Financial accounting
-
Wednesday:

Training Material
As soon as registration will be finalized (ie. payment confirmation), the participants will be provided with the material listed
below:
- Access to online videos with detailed demos
- Training material with exercises
- Written solutions to the exercises
Therefore, there is an advantage to registering early to the training if you are interested in preparing your live sessions ahead of time. Moreover, the number of participants is limited per online session which is another reason to consider registering early and securing your seat.
With the live sessions, we learned a lot more than what was covered in the videos. Definitely a good start for building up a solid base of working knowledge of Flectra.

The trainer did a wonderful job with the training! He was well informed and interactive online and offline. Thank you so much for the experience!

It would be very difficult to cover all of the possibilities of Flectra and I believe the major aspects were covered very well
|
The trainer has a very good knowledge of the subject, he understands the issues of the trainees very fast and provided answers with the right level of illustration.
