Education & Certification
Microgen provides comprehensive product training to empower our clients to rapidly design and control business critical enterprise applications.
Training sessions are attended by both business and technical users.
Microgen believes in offering courses that meet the needs of every level of user, and as a result, courses are organised in small classes and include a theoretical overview, hands-on workshops, and valuable case studies- all with attention to individual needs.
Due to the unique nature of Microgen Aptitude, all training courses specifically address the increased involvement of business users, providing guidance on how to successfully design and manage the development of applications between business and IT.
Microgen offers the following training courses for Microgen Aptitude Accreditation:
Microgen Aptitude Management Overview: offered as an overview for professionals involved with a Microgen Aptitude project who do not need to work with the software directly.
The Foundation level is for business analysts and general users, including IT professionals who design, model and maintain processes. This level covers the basis of process development, the setup of external systems interfaces, as well as an introduction to all Microgen Aptitude modules. Professionals who successfully complete the foundation level are eligible to proceed to modules in the Development and Administration levels.
The Development level comprises four optional modules:
- DBClarity is aimed at developing high performance in-database analytical applications. The graphical interface enables business users who may not be familiar with SQL or transact-sql, to design and deploy complex database structures, SQL statements, and SQL procedures from within Microgen Aptitude and its embedded processes.
- BPD and SOA is designed for advanced users who model and execute business processes that interact with Aptitude Services and Web Services. The course is centred on two new technologies, Service Oriented Architecture and Business Process Diagrams.
- Web Forms and Workflow is focused on building and maintaining web forms using Microgen Aptitude’s Application Generator. The course includes instruction on the Workflow module to enable users to model and execute workflow processes that integrate with web applications.
- PerformancePLUS is a highly complex course for advanced technical users to manage, configure, and optimise processing within Microgen Aptitude.
The Administration level is aimed at system administrators and technical engineers who install, support, and maintain Microgen Aptitude. It comprises a technical training track divided into two modules:
- Studio Foundation is the entry-level course for the Administration level. Delegates are taught about the basic elements required for simple processing and how to connect to external systems.
- Technical Foundation covers basic installation, system architecture, security settings, back-up/failover provisioning, and other administration issues.
The Upgrade level is for accredited users of older versions of Microgen Aptitude. As accreditation is version-specific, this three-day course allows users to learn about the usage and maintenance of new functionality. Although custom courses can be made available to suit individual customer needs Microgen will restrict standard Release Update courses to product releases that add significant new functionality.
