An October to Look Over
There’s nothing fancy about Diwali celebrations at Frappe, yet we always seem to have a good time anyway. Each one of us brought some food and stories from our kitchens to the office, aka Potluck. We made a colourful peacock rangoli with flowers and petals, each color placed by a different hand. Then, we had a small musical jam with team members playing guitar and singing together. We played pictionary and other group games to add some extra fun. Lastly, we tied it all together with a some garba and called it a day. Just another ordinary Diwali made memorable in our own way.

Frappe School
In October, ERPNext and Framework certification batches together welcomed 50+ new learners. For those already familiar with ERPNext and Frappe Framework, we have something new: a self-paced certification program. This batch focuses on practical evaluation rather than live classes. Participants demonstrate their skills through a 1-on-1 assessment and receive certification upon passing.
Coming up in November:
Two batches of hands-on ERPNext and Frappe Framework training and certification start this month.
ERPNext for Beginners: Online Live Training by Sayali Yewale | 04 Nov 2025 - 07 Nov 2025
ERPNext Certification via Recorded Course – Apply for Evaluation by Chandru Biradar | 30 November 2025
Limited seats per batch. Enroll before they’re gone!
