Recommended ELearning for NAV V5

SusieR

Hi all,

I'm about to start the rollercoaster ride that is NAV exams... :shock:

Can anyone recommend any online training? I'll be using it as an additional learning tool in tandem to my day to day work on a Support Desk and book learning.

I'm particularly interested in feedback regarding www.speedteach.com
(they have advised me that they will be updating to V5 at the end of April).

Many thanks in advance!

E-learning from MS (If you're working at a partner):
https://dynamics.microsoftelearning.com/catalog/default.aspx?view=catalog&filterView=basic&productFilter=Microsoft%20Dynamics%20NAV%205.0

sadynamics

Or else go through the documents available at partner source... it is more sufficient.....

Mmm, yeah I have access to all the online manuals etc...(though the above link only took me to version 4 editions)...

The biggest thing I have had trouble over coming is microsoft 'language'... once the concepts are explained to me in 'plain english' I pick it all up easily.... So reading the manuals can be a hard slog and not the most efficient way for me to learn.

I noticed the link was not correct. This one is correct:
https://dynamics.microsoftelearning.com/catalog/default.aspx?view=catalog&filterView=basic&productFilter=Microsoft%20Dynamics%20NAV%205.0&productFilterDisabledValue=&seriesFilter=def-0&seriesFilterDisabledValue=&collectionFilter=def-0&collectionFilterDisabledValue=&searchAction=filter&sortColumnId=&sortOrderAscDsc=&pageNumber=

Unfortunatly it are only "What's New In..." and "Installation and Configuration" courses..

Well they don't like to make it easy do they? Thanks for your help though.

I've been looking at some of the other threads on the exam/cert part of the forum, there are a few 'cheaty pants' out there aren't there?

For those of us trying to pass these things the hard way I say let's beat them with blunt spoons! It'll make me feel better anyway....

Rest assured that the users who "cheat" through certification will be slowly beaten to death with spoons when they are in front of the prospoect/customer and they do not know how the software works/should work/could be configured to work. Whilst experience will only add to these skills if you study the manuals, alongside the software, try processes you think should work and ask the questions you know should be asked but do not want asked then you will be fine. Personally I have also found these forums to be a great place to learn, it is where end customers ask many "how do I questions".

Whilst your road is long and painful it has more rewards and satisfaction at the end

On www.dynamicsuser.net one of the posters decribed a "test" whereby a blank company was given to the trainee and they had to set it up from scratch with a working GL and process through stock transactions to buy and sell goods, adding in any other module as you see fit, manufacturing, service etc - an excellent test of understanding if ever there was one, because Cronus is pants!

I think you mean these two threads:

Learning Dynamics NAV - Introduction - Dynamics User Group

How do I learn Navision - Dynamics User Group

I am now working on cleaning them up and adding them to my book/wiki, so in future you can find them here:

Learning Dynamics NAV - Dynamics

Getting started NAV - Dynamics


PS don't foget that the WIKI is now an open community project, please feel free to log in and add to it. Join here :

You will feel just great the first time you arrive at a clinet site and be asked what you think of this 200 hour project that their previous partner billled them for when you say to them "Well since that function is standard in NAV, why did you spend all that money?" \:D/

OR even better if you can tell the client that BEFORE they have spent the money.

You ARE doing this the right way, keep it up.
