There are plenty of new courses available in Resco Academy, our learning platform. We also enriched Resco Wiki, our knowledge hub related to Resco products, with many new sections and pages. And last but not least, we share new articles and guides on our blog, which recently received a brand-new look.
While it’s good to have so much information at your fingertips, sometimes it’s easy to get lost in the abundance of available resources. That’s why we prepared this short guide for you – to make sure you always know where to look for the information you need at a given moment. As a bonus, a few of our partners shared their favorite Resco resources with us, as well as a few recommendations to help you make the most of your learning journey.
First of all, let’s go through all the resources one by one and explain how and when they can serve you.
Resco Academy
You should turn to Resco Academy if:
- You’re new to Resco, and you need an introduction to Resco technology
Suggested next step: Enroll in Resco Essentials Certification - You would like to level up your skills in a particular subject or Resco product (e.g. Business Logic or Resco Inspections)
Suggested next step: Enroll in a course related to that particular subject or product - You would like to get practical skills (the majority of our technical courses include hands-on exercises and practical examples)
Suggested next step: Enroll in the related technical courses - You would like to develop an advanced Resco skillset
Suggested next step: Enroll in Resco Advanced Certification
I would recommend Resco Academy for gaining Resco-related knowledge over anything else. It’s good to have a place where the content is directly aimed at us. In my experience, the resource base of other applications is often aimed at the end-user, and you end up spending a lot of time just translating ideas rather than learning anything.

“Where should I start?”
You might be thinking: “This is all wonderful, but where should I even begin when there’s so much to choose from?” If you’re asking this question right now, take the advice of Jens Grambau, Resco’s latest MVP, who has quite some experience with Resco:
1) Do the courses in Resco Academy and try things in a demo environment.
2) Check out Resco Wiki, the blog posts, and the videos on YouTube to gain more insights about the Resco ecosystem.
3) And last but not least: do the Resco Essentials certificate.– Jens Grambau, Avanade, Switzerland
