ERPNext, the world’s best 100% open-source ERP, continues to grow. It is easy-to-use, powerful, and flexible. More than 5000 companies across the globe use ERPNext to manage their accounting, inventory, manufacturing, CRM, Payroll, and a lot more!

The ecosystem of partners, contributors, developers, and commercial service providers continues to grow too. We at Frappe, the maker of ERPNext, just hit the 100-employee benchmark this month. The GitHub repository of ERPNext has close to 10,000 stars now!

We realized that an important piece of the puzzle was missing which would unleash the next phase of the growth!

While the user manual provides the product description we needed a better medium to distribute the knowledge. Something that would help end-users, and project champions to learn and log their progress and was interactive and fun at the same time. Consultants and developers needed better resources so that they can help clients manage their complex businesses on ERPNext. Also, qualified and experienced consultants and developers needed a way to authenticate their credentials.

Enter Frappe School!

Frappe School makes learning ERPNext and Frappe framework easy, fun, and effective! It has courses with videos, quizzes, exercises, and links to other relevant resources for further reading. It features both free and paid courses. Certificates are shareable and verifiable too!

Once we had the idea we did the first course with videos that we had published on YouTube earlier. The feedback was encouraging and we went ahead with the shooting of our first course on Introduction to Accounting. I wrote the scripts, Linet Sherin presented, Hrithik Mahajan shot and edited the videos, Jannat Patel built the app, and Varun Pai helped with the design. Rushabh Mehta quality controlled and encouraged us to push the boundaries. Vrinda Menon volunteered to publish a course on ERPNext CRM and Faris Ansari authored a course on the Frappe framework. In the process, we formed a full-fledged team!

Our content partner Fafadia Tech published the ERPNext Manufacturing course. N0c0de, our other partner published a course on ERPNext Payroll.

Finally, here we are! Announcing the launch of Frappe School!🥳 🎉

Below is the list of courses that are live now.

  1. Introduction to ERPNext
  2. Introduction to Accounting

We hope this will help all the stakeholders and unleash the power of open-source software.

Exciting times ahead!
