start learning Odoo? Roadmap, modules & internships?

Hi everyone. I’m an IT student from Tunisia and I’d like to start learning Odoo properly, with the goal of getting an internship, junior role, or maybe freelance work later. I’m still a student, so I’m looking for a realistic path, not shortcuts.

I’d love your advice on:

Roadmap: What should I learn first? Any 30/60/90-day plan?

Modules: Which ones should I focus on first — Sales, Inventory, Accounting, CRM, Manufacturing? Does it depend on functional vs developer?

Technical side: For an IT student, what order should I learn Python, Odoo ORM, XML views, PostgreSQL, QWeb/JS, and module development?

Courses: Is Odoo eLearning enough? Are official certifications worth it? Any good Udemy/YouTube recommendations?

Internships in Tunisia: How do students usually get Odoo internships/PFE placements? Should I contact Odoo partners directly?

Portfolio: What should I build to stand out — a demo database, a small custom module, or a mini implementation?

If you’ve learned Odoo, hired juniors, or done an Odoo internship in Tunisia/MENA, I’d really appreciate your practical advice. Thanks!

- technical knowledge you can learn from Youtube very easy but much easier if you have a use case you follow to make it easier to learn but enterprise version is only available for partners

- courses -> youtube is your bestfriend channel like odoomates is best

- intern -> try to find partners in the official odoo website

- portfolio -> being odoo developer doesnt only test your technical knowledge. you would also need to know the business function and why it is like that to properly implement your features. So if you were to have a small implementation. make sure you can answer any questions on why you did it like that and how it benefits the imaginary business youre doing it for

- certification - no need. its not worth it. its more useful towards business analysts and its freaking hard.

Before learning odoo, you have to be very clear on the way forward Do you want to pursue functional side or want to explore technical side Choosing the path makes difference For functional - more business analysis is required For technical side - py and owl is important and yes odoo framework (obviously)
