Odoo Technical & Developer Training
A practical Odoo developer course for technical teams that need to understand architecture, build maintainable customizations and support real implementations.
Practical workflows · Guided discussion · Skills for real Odoo use
Course overview
Build practical capability in Technical & Developer Training
The course explains how Odoo works technically, why custom behavior works as it does, and how to develop changes that remain understandable and maintainable. Participants connect addon structure, ORM, user-interface inheritance, security, reports, APIs, testing and deployment to real implementation, integration, upgrade and support decisions.
Who should attend
Designed for the people responsible for the workflow
The course is focused on roles that use, supervise or support the covered Odoo processes.
Technical consultants and implementation engineers
People deciding between configuration, Studio, custom code and integration.
Internal IT and development teams
Teams maintaining Odoo, reviewing customizations or coordinating external development.
Prerequisites
Start with the right foundation
Required and recommended knowledge is stated clearly so participants can choose the appropriate level.
Required: development-tool experience
Participants should be comfortable with code editors, command-line tools and a practical development workflow.
Required: basic Python and relational data
Basic Python knowledge and understanding of records, fields and relationships are expected.
Recommended: Odoo navigation
Functional familiarity is useful for connecting technical changes to business workflows, but is not mandatory.
What you will learn
Skills participants can apply in Odoo
Learning outcomes connect system actions with the business process and the result users need to understand.
- 01
Understand Odoo architecture
Connect the server, database, addons, models, views and business records.
- 02
Build with the ORM
Create and extend models, fields, relationships, computed logic, constraints and recordset operations.
- 03
Extend the user interface
Use inherited views, actions, menus, domains and context without unnecessary duplication.
- 04
Apply security correctly
Reason about groups, access control lists, record rules and custom-code implications.
- 05
Design integrations
Understand APIs, authentication, data exchange, error handling and synchronization choices.
- 06
Debug, test and maintain
Read logs, diagnose behavior, write tests and identify deployment and upgrade risks.
Course program
A structured path through the workflow
Modules progress from the necessary records and concepts into connected operational scenarios.
- 01
Odoo technical architecture
Server, database and addons; standard and custom modules; environments; business records, views and server logic.
- 02
Module structure and ORM
Manifest and addon structure; models and inheritance; fields; relationships; computed fields; constraints; onchange; recordsets.
- 03
User interface development
Views and inheritance; actions; menus; domains; context; practical UI extensions.
- 04
Security and access
Users and groups; access control lists; record rules; security implications and common mistakes.
- 05
Maintainable business logic
Extending standard behavior; configuration vs Studio vs code; module boundaries; upgrade-safe principles.
- 06
Reports and document output
Reporting concepts; QWeb fundamentals; extending business documents; preparing report data.
- 07
APIs and integrations
External APIs; authentication; exchange patterns; error handling and synchronization considerations.
- 08
Debugging, testing and deployment
Errors and logs; developer tools; debugging; automated tests; code review; updates, deployment and maintenance.
Practical business scenarios
Apply the course to real operational sequences
The training goes beyond a feature tour by connecting actions across records, roles and business outcomes.
Extend a standard module
Add a field and business rule through model and view inheritance without replacing the base module.
Choose the right solution layer
Decide whether a requirement belongs in configuration, Studio, custom code or integration.
Secure custom behavior
Introduce a workflow rule with appropriate access rights and record visibility.
Integrate an external system
Reason about ownership, authentication, mapping, synchronization, errors and retries.
Diagnose an upgrade issue
Trace a customization that fails after a workflow or version change and plan a maintainable correction.
Training approach
Learn the workflow, not just the interface
ERPixel connects Odoo actions to the business decisions, records and handoffs behind them.
Process context
Each feature is explained in the context of the business workflow it supports.
Practical operations
Participants work through the records, decisions and exceptions used in day-to-day operations.
Questions and discussion
The course creates room to clarify why a workflow behaves as it does and how connected Odoo apps affect it.
Usable skills
Learning outcomes focus on tasks participants should be able to perform and interpret after training.

Course FAQ
Questions about Technical & Developer Training
Clarify the expected experience, scope and relationship to other ERPixel courses.
Is this course suitable for complete programming beginners?
No. Participants should have basic Python knowledge and practical experience with development tools. The scope can be adapted to the team’s current level.
Does the course cover Odoo module development?
Yes. It covers addon structure, manifests, models, ORM, views, security, reports, testing and the decisions needed for maintainable modules.
Are APIs and integrations included?
Yes. The course covers integration concepts, authentication, data exchange, synchronization, errors and maintainability. It remains training rather than an implementation engagement.
Is the course tied to one Odoo version?
No. Version-specific differences can be discussed for the target environment, while the main architecture and development principles remain maintainable across versions.
