Frequently asked questions

Didn’t find your answer? Our team replies within one business day.

Are there job opportunities after completing the course?

Smart Academy does not offer jobs directly, but we recommend our top trainees to our clients and partners, and we show you the right path into the job market as a freelancer, consultant, or ERPNext developer.

Will the courses be listed on the Frappe School platform?

Yes. All Smart Academy courses will be officially listed on Frappe School, so anyone can enroll through the global platform. This strengthens the credibility of the training and adds value to your certificates.

Can I get certified without enrolling in the course?

Yes, but we recommend enrolling in a learning track to make sure you are ready. Any trainee can apply directly for Frappe School exams, but Smart Academy tracks fully prepare you to pass the assessment on your first attempt.

Does the training include hands-on projects?

Absolutely. All programs include real, practical projects and realistic scenarios from companies already running on ERPNext, with hands-on practice in a training environment that mirrors real-world conditions.

Are the courses suitable for beginners?

Yes. The training programs are designed for everyone: beginners with no prior experience, employees who want to understand the system, and freelancers and consultants. All tracks start with the fundamentals and progress gradually to a professional level.

Are the certificates accredited?

Yes. Certificates are officially accredited by Frappe Technologies through the Frappe School platform. Smart Academy is an accredited Arabic-language training provider, with an official agreement with Frappe to deliver training programs and issue certificates. The certificate is issued after you pass the final assessment, with an accreditation fee collected by Frappe School, and trainees are added to the globally accredited trainee registry.

Does ERPNext require a monthly subscription or paid licenses?

No. ERPNext is fully open source and free of license fees. However, we offer paid implementation, customization, and cloud hosting services, based on each client's needs.

How long does it take to implement the system in my company?

It depends on the size of your organization and the number of modules required. Implementation typically takes 8 to 16 weeks, covering analysis, setup, training, and go-live.

Can the system be customized to fit the way we do business?

Yes. ERPNext can be fully customized by adding fields, reports, permissions, or new modules. Our development team tailors the system to match your company's workflow exactly.

What kind of technical support do you offer clients?

We provide comprehensive technical support, including direct support tickets, live support, and on-site visits, along with monthly performance follow-up and reports, and 24/7 technical support for cloud-based operations.

Will my data be secure on the system?

Yes. All data is stored on secure cloud servers in accredited data centers, with daily backups and full encryption of connections (SSL/TLS 1.3). We adhere to information security standards.

How does ERPNext differ from traditional closed-source systems?

ERPNext is open source and flexible, and it can be extended as needed without restrictions or costly licenses. Closed-source systems, by contrast, rely on fixed subscriptions and high development costs.

Can I use the system on a mobile phone?

Absolutely. You can access the system from any device, whether a computer, tablet, or smartphone, through the browser. The interface is fully responsive and works in both Arabic and English.

Does the system support e-invoicing and local regulations?

Yes. We provide direct integration with the tax authorities in Egypt and Saudi Arabia (ETA and ZATCA) to ensure full compliance with government regulations and tax requirements.

Can ERPNext be integrated with our existing systems or websites?

Yes. Through APIs, the system can be connected to various e-commerce websites and other systems that support integration.

What sets you apart from other ERPNext service providers?

We are an official Frappe ERPNext partner in the Middle East, with implementation experience across more than 100 live projects in a range of industries. We offer a complete solution that includes training, development, and cloud hosting.
