Odoo training on your real files,
not on a demonstration database.
Generic Odoo training teaches how the software works in theory. It does not teach how to process the invoice from your German supplier under the reverse charge, or your expense claim in a foreign currency. We train your teams in a test environment that replicates your live database, on the cases they will encounter the following week.

How long does it take to train a team on Odoo?
Four hours for the accounting team, two hours for sales and purchasing users, one hour for management on the dashboards. These durations assume training delivered on your own files. On a generic demonstration database, allow twice as long, and real self-sufficiency remains lower, because participants never encountered their own special cases during the session.
Accounting team, 4 h
Entry and approval of supplier invoices with automatic recognition, bank reconciliation and matching rules, miscellaneous journal entries, review and generation of the VAT return, FAIA export, period closing and locking.

Why train on your data rather than on a demonstration?
Because a demonstration never contains your special cases. It shows a simple invoice to a local customer, never your invoice to a Belgian taxable person under the reverse charge, your partial credit note, your down payment on an order or your expense claim in Swiss francs. Yet these are the cases that block your teams in week two, once the trainer has left.
What happens next
- Participants follow without difficulty during the session
- The cases presented are all simple and linear
- None of your business's special cases come up
- In week two, the first real case is a blocker
- The team works around it by going back to the spreadsheet
- Six months later, half of the modules are unused
What we do
- Copy of your live database in an isolated environment
- Participants work with their own customers and suppliers
- Special cases arise during the session, not after
- Each blocker is dealt with in front of everyone
- The session is recorded and stored in Documents
- A new joiner picks up the recording the following year
Schemes for co-financing in-company training exist in Luxembourg, managed in particular by the INFPC, with eligibility conditions relating to the company, the training plan and the provider delivering it. Financial Services Luxembourg is not an approved training provider and therefore cannot guarantee the eligibility of its services. Check your situation with the INFPC before including co-financing in your budget.
Should you train the whole team or only the accountant?
Training only the accountant is the most common mistake, and the most costly. Odoo derives all its value from data entry at source. If the salesperson does not create quotes in the tool and the buyer does not approve supplier invoices, the accountant ends up with exactly the same re-keying work as before, with more complex software on top. One hour of sales training saves several hours of accounting work every month.

How do you manage resistance to a change of tool?
Resistance rarely comes from the tool; it comes from losing one's bearings and the fear of making mistakes in front of others. Someone who has been entering data in Sage BOB for twelve years is fast and confident with it. In Odoo, they become slow again for three weeks, which is hard to live with. Three concrete measures work: short sessions, an identified internal key user, and one month of parallel running.
Short sessions rather than a full-day block
Four hours in a row saturate attention and nobody retains the second half. Two two-hour sessions a week apart produce much better retention, because participants come back with questions arising from their practice in between.
An internal key user identified from the start
One member of the team receives an extra hour of training and becomes the first line of response. This avoids every question coming up to us, reduces the sense of dependency and gives that person a rewarding role in the project.
One month of parallel running
For thirty days, entries are recorded in both systems and we reconcile daily. It is a deliberate extra workload, but nobody is left without a safety net and the final switchover takes place on a system that has already been proven.
Sessions recorded and kept
Each session is recorded and stored in the Documents module of your instance. An absent colleague catches up on their own, a new joiner trains without taking up the team's time, and the special cases handled during the session can still be consulted a year later.
How much does Odoo cost with an accounting firm included?
