Frequently Asked Questions
What is Workday HCM used for?
Workday HCM is the human capital management suite for staffing, compensation, time tracking, absence and talent. This course teaches you to configure it, not just use it as an employee.
How long is Workday HCM training?
Eleven weeks at SkilBrill: 66 hours across 11 modules, with a practice tenant lab in every module.
Do I need coding knowledge for Workday training?
No. Workday is configured rather than coded. XML and reporting logic only matter in the EIB, Core Connector and Workday Studio modules.
What is EIB in Workday?
Enterprise Interface Builder is Workday's template-driven tool for moving data in and out of a tenant. The course also shows when a Core Connector or Workday Studio job is the better choice.
What is RaaS in Workday?
Report-as-a-Service publishes a Workday report at a secured URL so outside systems can call it, and you build one from scratch in the Report Writer module.
Which Workday certification should I aim for?
Most candidates start with a Workday Pro functional certification in HCM, then add integration certification if you take the EIB, Core Connector and Studio path.
