IFS Academy Launches to Certify Partners Implementing IFS Applications

IFS, the global enterprise applications company, is today launching the IFS Academy—an initiative to deliver training for technicians, developers and consultants working with IFS Applications. The IFS Academy is being launched so that partners are equipped with the skills and knowledge they need to ensure customers realize the most value from IFS Applications.

The IFS Academy has been structured to deliver training across the IFS Applications suite. This involves a broad set of introduction courses as well as focused training classes on all modules in IFS Applications – initially courses will be offered for the modules most frequently used by IFS customers. Internal IFS experts have developed the training content and will deliver lessons and tutorials through in-person or online training courses, and administer exams. In 2015 an additional teaching delivery method will be offered in the form of a self-paced eLearning system.

In addition to a variety of course topics, participants will be able to choose courses that are taught at varying levels:

Associate—providing technicians, developers and consultants with essential competence and skills

Specialist—providing technicians and developers with a comprehensive and detailed understanding and skills

The most requested modules will also be available for consultants on Specialist level, and this catalog will grow over time.

At launch, only in-person training will be made available to companies in the IFS Partner Network. IFS will accept applications to participate in IFS Academy training from non-IFS Partner Network companies in 2015.
