System Requirements

This course includes plenty of hands-on activities. To be successful, we recommend keeping a PeopleSoft development, test, demo, or sandbox handy. If you don't have one, you may build your own laptop-hosted VirtualBox instance by following the instructions in the My Oracle Support document 1641843.2.

This course assumes PeopleTools 8.59 or later to support the Chrome/Edge-based recorder.

Most of the activities use the generic PeopleTools user profile module. There are a couple of Fluid-based activities that leverage HCM. Feel free to adapt these activities to a different PeopleSoft pillar.

Duration

Students typically complete this material within 16 hours.

You will have access to the videos for 60 days after purchase and may keep the accompanying activity guide for life.
