FAQ about Automic Training on PEM
PEM is the most innovative and fastest growing Automic learning platform. It offers PEM members a comprehensive range of online training courses that can be accessed 24/7 and from anywhere. The platform includes dozens of videos and interactive courses and is aimed at beginners and professionals alike.
To meet different needs, PEM offers different types of content: courses, tutorials, learning paths, labs and tools.
- In the courses and tutorials you will learn everything about Automic in entertaining and interactive videos.
- The learning paths offer comprehensive training on a specific Automic topic. For example, the 11-part operator learning path is suitable for beginners. Are you already an Automic expert? Then you will definitely learn something with the database SQL learning path.
- Labs are automated environments that are available at the touch of a button and where what has been learned can be put into practice.
- Tools with appropriate instructions are regularly provided on PEM . This allows Automic processes to be automated and simplified even further.
In our library, you’ll find all content items currently available on PEM. And every week, we add more items to learn Automic.
PEM Labs are comprehensive, pre-configured Automic environments designed to provide users with a hands-on and immersive experience. These labs offer instant access to multiple Automic versions, allowing users to experiment with functionality and explore new features effortlessly. Available on demand and at no additional cost for members, PEM Labs eliminate the need for complex setups or extra expenses. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced professional, they serve as realistic sandbox environments ideal for learning and experimenting with Automic.
Labs are provisioned on demand with a single click and are automatically deleted after 24 hours.
There are two different deployment-variants for the Labs:
- Labs for Operator and Designer
These provide access to a dedicated Automic Client via the Automic Web Interface (AWI). - Labs for Admins
These labs include OS-level access through a browser, enabling members to perform all administrative tasks, including those at the operating system level.
PEM Labs are available in three formats:
- Test Labs
These labs are empty Automic clients or systems that members can use for their experiments. - Course Labs
These labs include one or more scenarios where users are tasked with solving practical exercises, similar to classroom training sessions. - Story Labs
Story Labs are like Course Labs but incorporate a storyline to make the experience more engaging and entertaining. Think of them as small adventure games where you solve puzzles using Automic.
The Operator, Designer, and Admin roles in PEM align closely with the roles available within Automic itself. Each role is tailored to specific responsibilities, ensuring users focus on the skills and knowledge most relevant to their work:
- Operator:
Operators are responsible for monitoring, executing, and managing workflows in Automic. In PEM, the Operator role covers topics like workflow execution, troubleshooting, and day-to-day operations to ensure smooth automation processes. - Designer:
Designers are the architects of workflows and automation solutions in Automic. The Designer role in PEM includes content on creating, optimizing, and maintaining workflows and objects, with a focus on best practices for efficiency and scalability. - Admin:
Admins handle system-level configurations, user management, security settings, and advanced maintenance tasks in Automic. PEM’s Admin role offers in-depth training on system setup, troubleshooting, and managing complex environments, including OS-level access through PEM Labs.
By mirroring Automic’s role structure, PEM ensures that members can seamlessly apply what they learn to their actual responsibilities within the software, making the training practical and highly relevant.
