Trimark Launches Trimark Academy

A Comprehensive Training Ecosystem for Power‑Industry Professionals

Folsom, CA, June 2, 2026 — Trimark has announced Trimark Academy, a structured training ecosystem designed to elevate skill development, operational confidence, and long‑term capability for electric power professionals and resource owners.

“Our goal is simple: make learning practical, engaging, and directly related to the challenges power professionals face every day,” said Colin Tepfer, Trimark’s Director of Training and Education. “By combining online courses, hands‑on labs, live instruction, and a community of experts, we’re creating an environment where users build competence in the real world.”

Critical electric power infrastructure requires high levels of proficiency in specialized areas such as compliance, operational performance, and related systems. Trimark Academy equips engineers, system integrators, performance analysts, O&M teams, and resource owners with the training they need to design, integrate, test, maintain, and optimize power‑system infrastructure.

“Trimark Academy provides the training that industry professionals need to configure Trimark’s True:SCADA®.”

“Trimark Academy supports the electric power workforce with industry-specific training in critical systems and related requirements,” explained Robert Hinchman, Trimark’s President & Chief Commercial Officer. “Power professionals need continuing education in emerging technologies to build confidence, reduce risk, and strengthen operational resilience. Trimark Academy provides the training that industry professionals need to configure Trimark’s True:SCADA® and other mission-critical systems.”

Role‑Based, Contextual Training

The Academy provides contextualized instruction in power‑system operations, devices, protocols, markets, and systems including Trimark’s True:SCADA®. Education bridges the gap between SCADA technology and real‑world challenges of operating and managing power-generation resources. Training paths address a wide range of topics including:

  • True:SCADA® fundamentals, configuration, troubleshooting, and advanced functions;
  • Power‑market operations, telemetry, reporting, and compliance;
  • Common instrumentation and devices including metering and meteorological;
  • System architecture, commissioning, and device integration; and
  • Industry standards, protocols, instrumentation, and best practices.

Free Access to Foundational Training

All registered users gain no‑fee access to a robust catalog of baseline courses, supporting consistent training across teams and organizations and helping accelerate onboarding.

“We’re creating an environment where users build competence in the real world.”

Hands‑On Learning, Expert Support, and a Thriving Community

Academy delivers training and related support in a variety of ways depending on the subject and the learner’s preference. Trimark Academy features:

  • Online learning environment;
  • Live instructor‑led sessions;
  • A dedicated training lab for hands‑on practice;
  • A peer community forum for sharing challenges and best practices; and
  • A searchable knowledge base with contextual help and FAQs.

    Certification Programs to Validate Competence

    Trimark Academy offers tiered certification pathways that validate user proficiency and support credibility in the marketplace. Certifications help system integrators, operators, and engineers demonstrate expertise, strengthen customer confidence, and enhance career opportunities.
