At Flexso, we understand the importance of preparation when it comes to starting a new career. Flexso Academy helps you to get off to a flying start as a newcomer. After a warm introduction, you will receive practical training that will prepare you to grow into a fully fledged SAP consultant in no time.

Flexso Academy in a nutshell

The Flexso Academy is a four-week training programme in which enthusiastic colleagues prepare newcomers for their first projects.

You'll receive a combination of trainings in soft and hard skills, such as

  • Project Management
  • Intro to basic processes
  • Change Management
  • Presentation skills
  • How to demo
  • Intro to Flexso Focus Group Innovation
  • .... and so much more!

From starter to fully fledged SAP consultant

As a starter, you will discover all of SAP’s innovations and possibilities. During the training programme, you will learn how to:

  • simplify a company’s accounting and finance activities;
  • streamline warehouse management and ensure the right stock levels;
  • improve production planning and gain insights into the purchasing process;
  • support a sales team and increase turnover;

In short, you’ll gain everything you need to know to integrate and optimise business processes. Moreover, you’ll learn how to configure all these processes in SAP S/4HANA, an indispensable skill for any SAP consultant💪.

“This entry programme gives in-depth insights into the fascinating world of SAP and its possibilities. Thanks to a real deep dive, starters get the chance to sample different solutions and domains. It’s the perfect basis for a rewarding project.”

Mario Aerts - Competence Lead at Flexso

Flexso Academy goes beyond SAP knowledge, though. During a communication training session, for example, you will learn how to give clear presentations and demos. You will also receive practical training in agile and scrum. Even more, you will discover how we use those methodologies to turn every SAP project into a success story.

"The Academy offered me the chance to explore all areas of the company in the first few weeks, giving me a clear picture of the opportunities and knowing who to turn to with my questions. This also helped me determine my own direction within the company. Every question was answered with equal enthusiasm, and I still see this willingness to share knowledge as a core value at Flexso after almost a year on board."

Not only for junior starters

Knowledge sharing and continuous learning is in our DNA🧬. Flexso Academy is not only for young starters. Even as an experienced newcomer or veteran, you can use the programme to brush up on your knowledge and skills: the Academy organises training courses throughout the year. These can also be part of your growth path.

In addition to training courses, Flexso Academy also organises evening classes, seminars and deep-dive sessions across functions. Feel free to get in touch with our competence leads for advice.

Training and teambuilding

We know it sounds like an intensive programme, but never fear. At Flexso Academy, there is also plenty of time for fun. To give you an idea: last year, we nailed an escape room, followed by cocktails🍹and burgers🍔. Who says working hard and having fun don’t go together?

“During my first weeks, I was immersed into the Flexso culture and the SAP world. Every colleague did their best in sharing their knowledge and preparing me for future projects at the right pace. It was an ideal mix of technical and functional knowledge and attention for soft skills. Everyone is willing to help each other out and always ready to answer questions or help solve problems. As a result, I immediately felt at home as a starter.”

Robin Van Acker - Master of Science Business Engineering @ University of Ghent
