On September 5-7, 2016 Pavel Britvin, Partner of NFP, for the first time read the course "Automation of preparation of consolidated IFRS statements based on "1C: Holding Management 8 system" in 1C: Training Center No. 1.

It is this date - September 5, 2016 - that we consider the date of the foundation of the NFP School.

And already on October 20, 2016 at 1C: Training Center No. 1, we launched the course "Budgeting in the 1C: Holding Management 8 system".

Both of these courses are held to this day and are in high demand among specialists.

In April 2017, for the first time, we started a series of intensive course "Consultant-Methodologist". The top managers of the company acted as teachers: Sergey Lozhkin, Pavel Britvin and Mikhail Kuznetsov.

Summer 2017 marked the launch of our first online course on Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and the acquisition of partner status from the leading RPA vendor, UiPath. Since then, RPA courses have become an integral part of the NFP School's course pool. Right now you can sign up for a free cycle of basic webinars and order corporate course "RPA Developer on UiPath".

In 2018, the list of the School's courses was significantly replenished:

• We have developed and started regularly delivering an online course on simulation modeling in AnyLogic. Today we are running this program in English for an international audience;
• Several webinars on 1C: Holding Management system were released - on procurement, consolidation, innovations in edition 3.0, IFRS 16, and so on. Also, we held a presentation of the 1C: Drive product;
• On software robots, a new interactive webinar format with an invited guest - RPA Experts;
• In addition to full-time courses on budgeting and IFRS in Holding Management 8, the exams "Professional" and "Special consultant IFRS" were developed and added.

In the summer of 2018, we won a tender from 1C International and began production of a large-scale English-language training video course "1C: ERP Fundamentals". It took several months to prepare and record the course. The introductory level has already been posted on the 1Ci YouTube channel.

2019 kicked off with new online programs using the 1C: Holding Management system, which attracted hundreds of interested specialists.

From February to June 2019, we conducted:

• a cycle of webinars "Using 1C: Holding Management and 1C: ERP products in holdings architectures";
• a large modular online course on the 1C: Holding Management system;
• cycle of webinars "Advanced budgeting techniques in the 1C: Holding Management".

Since May, English-language webinars have been added to the Russian-language webinars - on Simulation modeling and Robotic Process Automation (RPA). Today, in 2020, we receive dozens of requests from all over the world every month for each webinar.

And in July, a new direction of the course was launched - Risk Management and Building Internal Controls. Webinars on this topic are held regularly and invariably gather an audience of interested specialists. In addition to free webinars, a whole package of customized risk management workshops is available for companies.

All of the above formats and topics continue to evolve and scale. If we talk about development plans, then in addition to finalizing and updating existing programs, we are now developing courses in the following areas:

• Budgetary control;
• Transport and warehouse logistics;
• Document management;
• HR

Today, the NFP School is:

• the ability to understand advanced corporate technologies from scratch with the support of experienced practitioners;
• access to NFP's unique design experience;
• variety of topics and formats of teaching;
• networking with educators who are project managers, business architects and leading methodologists.
