The instructors are knowledgeable, the ability to do hands-on exercise throughout are invaluable. The materials are useful reference after training is over. However, for basic functionality the system is pretty easy to pick up and there are plenty of free classes and tools so that only the system support and implementation team really need to take formal Workday training.

The onsite Workday Training is very professional and helpful. It is a great way to meet other people from other companies and network within the Workday Ecosystem. While it may not be possible to train on very specific customer requirements; it does provide an outlet to learn the foundation and basics of the software and to brainstorm with others.

Workday also supplements the training by other means, such as online training videos and various other offerings such as "Office Hours." In addition, a few implementation partners also provide basic knowledge transfer sessions for various modules within Workday.

UI is great, but system management very difficult.

In-Person Training

I cannot score as I have not attended. we sent our HR admin for on-site HCM training and 2 people for benefits admin training (build open enrollment etc.). Training on-site is $1800 for a course.

Some training is offered online. Cost is per-person. This also gets quite expensive. Training doesn’t follow a logical path A to B. Starts in middle. When you try to do it afterwards at your desk, difficult.
• Training scenarios are not very real.

It was very helpful. I had one session which was very helpful to get a basic understanding. They offer a paradigm shift from other applications.
