If you want to ribbon splice, you need a ribbon splicer. If it's 288+ you probably want to buy one. If you're limited on tray space you'll need to buy one.
If you just want to loose tube splice it, you can pinch the ribbon on the sides and the glue breaks apart. This gives you the 12 fibers. If you get down to 2 of them and it won't break, use a box cutter blade or whatever is sharp. There's not really any training but there's a LOT of practice especially in a ring cut with ribbon.
