A New Era of Learning
The automation landscape is evolving rapidly, and with it comes the need for training that is flexible, up-to-date, and practical. This is why Tricise launched the Tricise University: a central hub for Automic training, designed to give users, administrators and developers the skills they need to succeed. From the very beginning, the Tricise University has been about more than just teaching theory. It is built around hands-on practice, real-world scenarios, and the idea that learning should adapt to the different ways people want to study. Whether participants prefer to join a trainer-led class, work through video-based courses at their own pace, or combine both approaches in a hybrid model, the Tricise University provides the right format.History and Development
Until July 1, 2025, many Automic courses were delivered in cooperation with qSkills. This partnership offered a strong foundation, but as Tricise expanded its vision, it became clear that a more flexible and independent concept was needed. With the end of the qSkills collaboration, the Tricise University underwent a complete redesign. Training offerings were streamlined, formats were modernized, and new possibilities such as self-paced video training and hybrid formats were introduced. The result is a learning platform that reflects today’s requirements: accessible from anywhere, tailored to different learning preferences, and always aligned with the latest Automic product versions.
Renaming the Core Courses
One of the most visible changes in the restructuring is the renaming of the core courses. For many years, these courses carried the suffix Fundamentals.
For example:
- Automic Operator Fundamentals
- Automic User Fundamentals
- Automic Administrator Fundamentals
As part of the relaunch of the Tricise University, these names have been replaced with Essentials, resulting in the updated course titles:
- Automic Operator Essentials
- Automic User Essentials
- Automic Administrator Essentials
This change is not just cosmetic. The term Essentials better emphasizes the idea of covering the key skills and competencies every participant should master. At the same time, including the old names in our communication ensures that those searching for Fundamentals courses can still find the updated equivalents.
The Tricise Advantage: Why Learners Benefit
Unlike many generic training programs, the Tricise University is developed directly by Automic experts. Every course is carefully designed to reflect real-world scenarios, not just theory from manuals.
This means participants gain skills they can immediately apply in their daily work environments. The focus is not on abstract knowledge but on practical use cases that accelerate productivity. For organizations, this translates into shorter onboarding times, fewer errors, and a faster return on training investments.
Course Formats and Learning Models
At the Tricise University, training is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, several learning formats address different learning preferences:
- Trainer-led courses: Traditional classes where participants learn directly from an experienced instructor.
- Self-study courses: Fully video-based courses combined with lab access, enabling learners to practice what they see in real time. These are already available and form a key pillar of the Tricise University.
- Hybrid courses: A flexible innovation. Here, participants decide for themselves which parts of the training they complete via video and which parts they prefer to learn in an interactive session with a trainer.
Another important distinction is the difference between courses and modules:
- Courses are complete learning paths that cover a full role, such as Operator Essentials.
- Modules are smaller, topic-focused units that allow participants to deepen their knowledge within their specific area (for example, additional modules for User, Operator, or Administrator tracks).
To keep the content relevant and accurate, the Tricise University follows a three-month cycle: every quarter, new courses are published, and all existing courses receive updates at the latest.
Hands-On Labs: Learning by Doing
One of the highlights of the Tricise University is the integration of hands-on lab environments. These labs allow participants to directly apply what they learn in a safe, practice-oriented setting.
Instead of finishing a course and wondering how to transfer the knowledge into their daily job, learners can experiment and test while studying. This approach builds confidence and ensures that theoretical understanding is always paired with practical experience.
Languages and Reach
The Tricise University is designed for an international audience. All training is available in both German and English, making it accessible to organizations in the DACH region and worldwide. This dual-language strategy ensures that every customer can learn in the language they are most comfortable with, without compromising quality.
Certification and What Lies Ahead
At present, the Tricise University offers test certifications for the Essentials courses. After completing a course, participants can take an assessment with an 80% success rate required to pass. This provides learners with immediate validation of their knowledge.
In addition, the certification program is continuously being expanded and improved. While Essentials courses already include test certifications, the Tricise University is building out a modular structure that will, in the future, allow participants to gain more specialized recognition within their chosen track. Step by step, this system will provide an even stronger framework for validating Automic expertise.
Real-World Relevance
Automation and digital transformation are shaping the future of IT operations. Skilled Automic professionals are in high demand, while the supply of experts remains limited.
The Tricise University directly addresses this challenge. By equipping participants with practical, up-to-date skills, it helps organizations close the skills gap and empowers individuals to advance their careers. In a market where efficiency and expertise make all the difference, the Tricise University provides the tools to stay competitive.
Vision for the Future
The Tricise University is more than just a training platform—it is a growing ecosystem. The mission is clear: to become the leading learning hub for Automic, built on three guiding principles:
- Practicality: Every course is designed to be hands-on and directly applicable in real-world environments.
- Flexibility: Learners can choose between trainer-led, self-study, or hybrid approaches.
- Internationality: With English and German content, the Tricise University is accessible to a global audience.
This is just the beginning. With every quarter, new courses and updates will expand the portfolio, ensuring that learners stay at the forefront of automation knowledge.
Conclusion
The launch of the Tricise University marks a turning point in how Automic knowledge is taught and learned. From its roots in cooperation with qSkills to the fully independent platform it is today, the Tricise University combines tradition with innovation. The renaming of the core courses, the introduction of hybrid learning, the structured release cycle, and the focus on hands-on labs all reflect one thing:
a commitment to delivering the best possible learning experience for every participant.
