Workday is new to market and has superb job openings on Human Capital Management. You can work as a consultant without having any certification because getting a certification is possible only to it’s partner and your certification will be terminated once you live job from your employer. So first focus on become expertise on workday, learn skills from a best trainer.
I prefer to recommend online training is the best way to learn workday because most the working professionals are engaged in their regular tight schedules. You can get the best trainers online only. I asked some of my colleagues they told me that workday training institute as a good reputed institute for workday online training. They told me that trainer is very experienced and insightful explanation. They completed training from wday Training India, it was a positive feedback. I just shared my experience from my trusted friends.
And if you want WD Certification to work as an implementer, you have to work for WD or a partner. My understanding is that your certifications are considered inactive when you are termed from a partner, until you start with another partner.
If you just want to get familiar with the system, any client of WD’s could give you exposure in house, and could get you trained in a classroom, virtual classroom, or via training videos.
There are only 3 ways to get certified / trained in Workday.
1) Get a job with Workday.
2) Get a job with a Workday certified Partner.
3) Get a job working for a Workday Customer. There are Workday customers in India, as I have implemented and went live with a customer in India. So you have good openings in India also. Down the line it will get huge opening in emerging markets like India.
