Course Overview
The Introduction to Development in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2018 course by Microsoft equips aspiring developers and technical consultants with foundational skills in the C/SIDE development environment. Designed for roles such as Dynamics NAV Developer, Functional Consultant, and Application Customizer, this training covers core concepts including object design, C/AL programming, and system customization. Although no official certification exam is directly tied to this specific course, it aligns with broader Microsoft Dynamics 365 certifications and prepares learners for advanced developer pathways. Industry demand remains strong, with over 70 Dynamics NAV-related job openings reported on major platforms within a single week, reflecting ongoing enterprise reliance on the platform despite its transition to Business Central.
This course immerses students in key tools and technologies such as the Dynamics NAV Development Environment (C/SIDE), C/AL (C/SIDE Application Language), Tables, Pages, Reports, Code Units, XML Ports, and Queries. Hands-on labs are conducted within the native Microsoft Dynamics NAV client environment, where students configure real application objects and implement business logic using C/AL. A central project involves modifying existing table structures, designing associated pages, and creating custom reports to meet simulated organizational requirements. These practical exercises ensure developers gain experience in extending and tailoring Dynamics NAV solutions to real-world scenarios, building proficiency in both design and debugging workflows.
By mastering development in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2018, professionals position themselves for career advancement in ERP customization and consulting. While the platform has evolved into Dynamics 365 Business Central, legacy NAV systems remain in widespread use, sustaining demand for skilled developers who command salaries averaging $88,432 annually in the United States, with experienced roles exceeding $100,000. Koenig Solutions enhances this learning journey with Guaranteed-to-Run batches, official Microsoft courseware, and flexible 1-on-1 training options that ensure personalized attention.
