What we teach
What Do Odoo Training Services in the UAE Include?
Training is planned by role, so each person learns the screens and steps of their own work, on data that looks like yours.
Users
Role-based end-user training
Sales, purchasing, warehouse, finance and HR teams learn the screens and steps for their own daily work, not every feature of every app.
Finance
Finance and tax training
Finance teams learn invoicing, bills, bank reconciliation, VAT taxes and the VAT201 return in Odoo’s UAE localisation, plus the corporate tax report.
Studio
Studio, reports and automation
Fields, views, reports and automation rules built with Odoo Studio, and when a change needs customization instead.
Developers
Technical Odoo training
Module structure, models, views, security and the JSON-2 API for developers and IT teams. See Odoo development in the UAE.
HR
Payroll training
HR and payroll teams learn UAE salary structures, allowances, leave, end-of-service provisions and WPS salary reports in Odoo Payroll.
Exam
Certification preparation
Consultants and key users prepare for Odoo’s official functional certification, app by app, with practice on real scenarios.
How we work
How Does Odoo Training Work?
Every training plan follows six steps, so each person learns what they need, practises it and can do it alone afterwards.
For UAE teams, sessions run online, and the training plan is agreed in writing before the first session.
Odoo implementation in the UAE →
01
Training needs analysis
We list the roles, apps and current skill levels, and agree what each group must be able to do.
02
Learning plan by role
Each group gets its own sessions, in a logical order and at a pace that fits around daily work.
03
Training database
Where possible, sessions run on a copy of your Odoo with your own products, customers and settings.
04
Hands-on sessions
Short live online sessions, where people do the tasks themselves rather than only watch.
05
Practice and assessment
Learners complete real tasks on their own, and we check the results and fill any gaps.
06
Guides and follow-up
Each role keeps short written guides, with help after go-live through Odoo support.
By role
What Should Each Team Learn in Odoo?
People learn faster when training follows their job, not the list of apps. A typical plan covers these groups:
The exact content depends on the apps you use and how Odoo is configured for your business.
Sales and CRM
Leads and opportunities, quotations, orders and the steps from a confirmed sale to an invoice.
Purchasing and inventory
Requests for quotation, receipts, transfers, barcode scanning, stock counts and replenishment.
Accounting and finance
Invoices and bills, bank reconciliation, payments, VAT and the VAT201 return, and the month-end routine.
Manufacturing and projects
Bills of materials and work orders, or projects, tasks and timesheets, depending on your business.
Managers
Dashboards, reports, spreadsheets and approvals, so decisions are based on live data.
Key users
Settings, users and access rights, Studio changes and automation rules for the whole company.
UAE e-invoicing
What Will Finance Teams Need to Learn for E-Invoicing?
E-invoicing changes daily work for the people who issue and check invoices. They need to know which data must be complete before an invoice is sent and what to do when one is rejected. The timetable:
- 1 July 2026: pilot with selected businesses, and voluntary adoption opens;
- 1 January 2027: mandatory for businesses with revenue of AED 50 million or more;
- 1 July 2027: mandatory for businesses with revenue below AED 50 million;
- 1 October 2027: mandatory for government entities;
- How it works: invoices are exchanged in the PINT AE format over the Peppol network through an Accredited Service Provider that each business appoints, and invoice data is reported to the Federal Tax Authority.
Dates from Ministerial Decisions No. 243 and No. 244 of 2025; see the Ministry of Finance e-invoicing programme and EY’s summary. Check the Ministry of Finance for any later changes before you plan.
Odoo integration in the UAE →UAE localisation
Which UAE Topics Can Training Cover?
Alongside the standard apps, we train teams on the parts of Odoo that are specific to the UAE:
VAT
VAT and the VAT201 return
Odoo’s UAE localisation sets up 5% standard-rated, zero-rated, exempt and reverse-charge VAT, and builds the VAT201 return in the FTA’s format for filing on EmaraTax. See the Odoo UAE documentation.
Corporate Tax
Corporate Tax reporting
Odoo’s corporate tax report shows net profit, exempt income, allowable deductions and disallowed expenses. Odoo ships no default tax categories, so accounts are tagged during set-up with your accountant.
Payroll
UAE payroll and WPS
The UAE payroll localisation covers housing and transport allowances, annual leave, end-of-service provisions, WPS salary reports and the Emiratisation report. See the UAE payroll documentation.
Arabic
AED, Arabic and English
AED as the company currency with automatic exchange rates, users working in Arabic or English, and customer documents in either language, or in a bilingual layout where you need one.
Before you start
How Should You Prepare Your Team for Odoo Training?

Odoo also publishes its own video tutorials and documentation. Our training connects them to the way your business uses Odoo.

03

Collect typical orders, invoices and reports that learners can recreate in Odoo.
05
Protect the time
Plan sessions away from month-end, VAT return deadlines and busy periods, so people can focus.
Timeline and cost
How Much Does Odoo Training Cost in the UAE?
It depends on how many people and roles you need to train. A short course for one team is quick to plan; training a whole company before go-live takes more sessions.
What affects the cost of Odoo training
- the number of learners and roles;
- the Odoo apps and custom features covered;
- UAE topics such as VAT, Corporate Tax and payroll;
- whether a training database with your data is prepared;
- written guides and self-paced courses;
- follow-up help after the sessions.
Training is quoted per programme, with the sessions, topics and materials agreed in advance.
Request a training proposal →Typical training plans
These examples are indicative; your proposal confirms the plan after a first call:
- Short course: one team or one app, such as Accounting or Inventory, in a few focused sessions;
- Go-live programme: training for every role before a new Odoo system goes live, with guides;
- Update and refresher training: what changed in a new version, or a refresher for teams and new starters.
You receive a written proposal before any training starts.
