This development course is available in both virtual and in-person, instructor-led formats, it is a two-day PLC Programming and Application course to provide a greater in-depth knowledge of PLC. It is recommended that team members take PLCs for non-programmers prior to this course.

Description:
This course is designed to help maintenance technicians, electricians and others modify and write common PLC programs on their own. It will provide team members with the comfort and confidence they need to edit or create new PLC solutions for their specific work applications. It will make vendor-specific PLC programming manuals understandable. Team members’ specific needs and concerns are also addressed during the class, so that they can go back to their workplace and immediately apply what they’ve learned.
