    Hi Abdala,

    Whether you are a business stakeholder, functional consultant at the start of your career or a student, jump-start your career by validating your skills with the Dynamics 365 fundamentals (ERP) certification.

    You will need to take a certification exam to get certified, so you should have general knowledge or relevant work experience in the IT environment, and you should also have a basic understanding of financial principles and business operations. For detailed information, you can view the links below, which specifically describe information about the exam and certification-related information.

    It depends on the role you want to perform.

    Users don't need any IT background. Functional consultants (collecting business requirements and designing changes to the system) typically don't have any either, although having some idea about things like web applications is beneficial. Testing is usual done by functional consultants, but there I see as a problem if they have no knowledge of SW testing and related tools.

    To work as a developer, a software architect or an administrator, you obviously need technical knowledge.

    Note that your goal should be knowledge, not a piece of paper (certificate).

    Hi,

    For SCM you do not need any IT knowledge. You only.need to.know D365 SCM modules. You can use learn learning paths to study.
