“We’re also spread so thin that there’s no time in the work day, and they don’t seem interested in allowing that time.”source ↗
“I just cannot afford to pay for the e-learnings at this stage in my life.”source ↗
“It would seem you have to actually go through the learning content before you are allowed to take the exam. I was tearing my hair out trying to find where the exam was.”source ↗
“I can't seem to find where to go to get this free training. Every time I try to create an account it shows plans that cost money.”source ↗
“The only way to go through the actual content is with the Company Pass, is that right? I don't currently work at a company with NetSuite but am interested in it, so I don't seem to have a way actually learn the content.”source ↗
“What can I certify myself in? I’d like to take the ”NetSuite: Administrator FundamentalsCourse”, seams as a good start for an old Pm. But when clicking the cours it right away requires some subscription I did not have?”source ↗
