Course Overview
About Course
Oracle PeopleSoft HCM Training is a rigorous 40‑hour program tailored to HR professionals, technical consultants, and system administrators responsible for managing the full employee lifecycle within PeopleSoft. Participants start with the architecture and navigation suite, gaining fluency in the PeopleTools platform, PIA tiers, and Application Designer—laying the groundwork for all deeper modules
Comprehensive modules then immerse learners in Core HR, covering essential workforce constructs such as positions, job data, and organizational hierarchies. This foundation supports advanced modules in Payroll, where attendees learn payroll run processes, costing, and integration with Time & Labor; and 360° Time & Labor and Absence Management, including timecard entries, leave accruals, scheduling, and approvals .
Benefits administration is tackled next, enabling configuration of diverse benefit plans with eligibility rules and enrollment procedures. Meanwhile, the Talent module offers an introductory read into recruitment and performance processes, connecting transactional HR data with strategic workforce planning .
To support HR analytics, participants master PSQuery and delivered reports, learning to extract actionable insights and design role-based dashboards. Security sessions reinforce compliance with permission lists, component-level access, and row-level data security. Integration training equips learners to set up broker services, configure component interfaces, and manage large-scale data loads via Application Engine or Application Designer .
Technical depth is enhanced through PeopleCode programming and Application Engine processes, empowering participants to write business logic, validations, and batch jobs. The capstone project synthesizes all modules into a unified hire-to-retire workflow: hiring a fictional employee, running payroll, logging time, processing absence, and generating HR reports.
By program’s end, graduates are industry-ready as PeopleSoft HCM Functional/Technical Consultants, with both end-user proficiency and backend development capabilities, supported by certification preparation and job-focused career coaching
