About the Academy
Xpand Academy is a free, hands-on training program that turns motivated newcomers into job-ready Junior Developers/QAs specializing in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
The program combines theory, practice, mentor support, Q&A sessions, knowledge checks, and a final trial project that simulates real working conditions. It is designed for people who want not only to learn new technologies but also to understand how real business solutions are built inside the Microsoft ecosystem.
Practical Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central training
Xpand Academy focuses on one of the most business-critical technologies in the Microsoft ecosystem — Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. Students learn the fundamentals of the system, its architecture, installation, configuration, and development approach. The program also introduces tools such as AL language, Visual Studio Code, Microsoft Azure DevOps, and documentation-based learning, helping participants build a strong technical foundation for future work in ERP development.
Learning through real development scenarios
The Academy is built around practical learning, not only theory. Participants work with tasks that reflect real development challenges and business logic. During the program, they move from basic concepts to practical assignments and then to a final trial project, where they need to analyze requirements, make technical decisions, implement functionality, and present their work to mentors and experts. This helps students understand not only how to write code, but also how to think like a developer in a real project environment.
Mentor support and regular feedback
Students are supported by experienced Xpand specialists throughout the learning process. The program includes lectures, Q&A sessions, self-study time, free practice hours, HR meetings, and knowledge checks. Mentors help participants understand complex topics, answer questions, review progress, and guide them through the practical parts of the course. This creates a learning environment where students can ask questions, receive feedback, and grow step by step.
A clear path from learning to career start
Xpand Academy is designed as a real career opportunity. After successful completion, participants receive certificates and may have the opportunity to join Xpand or partner teams. Previous Academy editions showed strong interest from candidates and helped top graduates receive offers and start their professional journey as Junior Developers. For many participants, the Academy becomes not only a learning program, but also a first practical step toward working in IT.
A community that helps talents grow
At Xpand, the Academy is part of a wider culture of knowledge sharing and professional growth. The program brings together ambitious people who want to learn, develop, and become part of the Microsoft technology community. It is open not only to students and recent graduates, but also to people who are changing their career direction and want to enter IT with practical, business-oriented experience. Honest feedback from graduates helps improve the Academy and make each new edition stronger.
