NAIROBI, KENYA: Techno Brain, a Kenya based education and training services provider launched a first-of-its-kind Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) training programme in Africa for finance professionals.

Through the programme, the company plans to fulfil the demand and supply gap in the MS Dynamics NAV workforce requirement.

"In spite of having over a million users worldwide and being rated as Africa's number one ERP for the SME segment - there are just over 100,000 certified for MS Dynamics NAV consultants worldwide. 

Through the ERP training course, Techno Brain aims to help small businesses and global enterprises manage the financial health of a company and take complete control over finances.

The target audience for the course would include Chief Finance Officers, Finance Managers/Analysts, Implementation Consultants, Accountants, and end users in Finance Departments from the manufacturing & non-manufacturing industries.

Speaking during the event, Ajay Alva, Director – Training, Techno Brain said: “We are seeing more and more businesses adopt Enterprise Resource Solutions to consolidate business processes to become more efficient, yet, the drive to create trained manpower and to keep up with this shift is missing. Our initiative is focused to create a productive pool of trained and certified workforce for Africa.”

The director added that they are starting with finance, because it’s extremely critical in nature and has a direct impact on business. They will also be rolling out more specialised ERP courses in the future - tailored for specific business functions.

Over the years, Techno Brain has built strong competency with Microsoft Dynamics NAV. Techno Brain has been a MS Dynamics NAV Partner since 2007, and subsequently became a Gold Partner in 2010. In 2012, Techno Brain was named to the Microsoft Dynamics President’s Club. Techno Brain also has 3 Microsoft Certified for MS Dynamics NAV Products, and boasts of a pool of 80 Certified MS Dynamics NAV Consultants and Trainers.

The 10-day course - Microsoft® NAV 2009 Core Setup and Finance is set to commence on 23 September, 2013.
