Extended Training Services
Welcome to C&W University Extended Training Services. This section of our Web site offers a close look at our existing catalogue and training agenda as well as access to several new C&W University Services - including e-Certification tests, e-Learning and e-Documentation.
By moving our Thaler courses, documentation, and tests online, you can now access training from any place at any time. This should help C&W University better meet the needs and expectations of its customers.
Thaler Certification Program
Become the obvious choice on the market. Enhance your teams with the right skills. Meet our Thaler Certification Program.
A comprehensive certification process assures customers that they are getting services of the highest quality. To facilitate this certification, we offer an end-to-end instruction program through the Callataÿ & Wouters University training center. This will help you maximize the financial returns from projects that we take on together.
" The Certification Program deepened our Thaler application knowledge. As a result, our clients get higher direct value from the Logica implementation teams " Lode Snykers, Head of Global Financial Services, Logica.
Thaler Certification: Our Joint Commitment
With the launch of a new generation of Thaler – our flagship banking solution – and with an increasing demand for our solution in global, challenging environments, we have created the Thaler Partner Network. We believe this program can help us and our partners serve our mutual customers more effectively.
Your skilled team can open up new business opportunities, while ensuring continued quality in service delivery. Your added value can also increase the number of new projects that we can both support. To accomplish these goals, we seek strong, long term relationships with you where our joint commitment will improve customer satisfaction across the value chain.
Advantages of the Thaler Certification Program
- Greater efficiency and implementation speed
- You can expand market share with your fine-tuned skills
- More control over and autonomy in your implementation process

"Since MAINSYS was recognized as a Thaler Certified Partner, we have seen a noticeable upswing in business. This program allows us to strenghten our knowledge of Thaler and to continue to deliver quality service" Pierre Lemaire, Managing Partner & CEO.
Individual Certification: Your Passport to a Thaler Project
During the life cycle of a Thaler project, many business profiles collaborate on a successful implementation. For each role, there is an ideal course path to acquire a particular set of competencies. To guarantee quality along the value chain of a Thaler project, nine of these key roles benefit from the Thaler Certification Program, as shown in the figure below.
How to get the Individual Certification
Individual certification is granted upon successful completion of a two-step process.
Step 1. A process-oriented eCertification questionnaire, built with solution architects and in-the-field experts. It verifies both the theoretical and practical knowledge needed for this desired profile.
Step 2. Validation of the practical Thaler experience by a Callataÿ & Wouters representative at the end of
a successful Thaler project.
Thaler is a flexible product and requires knowledgeable people. Therefore, Individual Certification (step 1) has been set as a prerequisite for working on Thaler projects. In essence, you benefit from the same training and certification program that our own experts get.
Certified System Integrator: The Key to Proven Quality and Autonomy
" The initial training and Certification Program helps our developers quickly master the essential knowledge to start the Thaler localization voyage. It has taken what would have been years of on-the-job experience and condensed it into a three-week course. I would recommend this program to anyone involved in Thaler system development. " Daniel Zhu, Director, Product Development, Financial Service Group, Vanceinfo.
Partners with Individual Certification can perform restricted phases of a project together with Callataÿ & Wouters staff. To move up to the next level and gain more autonomy, system integrators must achieve institutional certification by attaining individual certificates (steps 1 and 2) across the entire project life cycle in a consistent set of functional and technical domains.
In a nutshell, system integrators gain autonomy by certifying key profiles in a consistent set of functional and technical domains. The more certified domains, the more autonomous.
This all-encompassing approach reflects the Callataÿ & Wouters commitment to quality all along a project’s life cycle.
The graph below exhaustively lists the existing Thaler Certificates. All of them correspond to a functional or technical Thaler domain.
Callataÿ & Wouters provides the financial industry with IT solutions and services that meet their needs, and has been doing so for three decades. Headquartered in Belgium, we serve more than 45 banks worldwide. Our track record speaks for itself: we can pride ourselves on an implementation rate of 100%.
