University of Kelaniya and Dhammika and Priscilla Perera Foundation (DP Education) signed a memorandum of understanding recently to facilitate open online course development and delivery in certificate level enterprise resource planning (ERP).  

The objective of this initiative is to provide opportunities to learn free of charge the required knowledge in certificate level ERP. The ERP course will be created with a special focus on SAP applications and will generate jobs in seven roles, starting from the intern to associate consultants in ERP.  

Dhammika and Priscilla Perera Foundation, through its DP Education arm, will assist the University of Kelaniya with this new initiative by providing the required funding and human resources for the creation of content.

This is the third initiative of DP Education in delivering free online university programmes. The first two initiatives were with the University of Moratuwa. The first was the launch of the ‘Trainee-Full Stack Developer’ online programme, where more than 135000 students are enrolled as of today. To access the Trainee-Full Stack Developer course, visit https://open.uom.lk/. The second initiative was to facilitate open online course development and delivery in the Certified Associate in Project Management level of the Project Management Institute, USA.
