PLC Training Courses
Download Our OSHA 4474 Fact Sheet – Establishing Boundaries Around Arc Flash Hazards
- Understand the difference between arc flash and electric shock boundaries
- Learn who may cross each boundary and under what conditions
- Apply voltage-based rules for safer approach distances
PLC training courses build automation skills in ladder logic, SCADA, HMI, and motion control, with hands-on programming on Siemens and Allen-Bradley platforms, diagnostics, IEC 61131-3 standards, safety, and commissioning best practices.
What Are PLC Training Courses?
Programs teaching PLC programming, SCADA, HMI, and industrial automation with hands-on labs and commissioning.
✅ Ladder logic, function blocks, and IEC 61131-3 programming
✅ Siemens TIA Portal and Allen-Bradley RSLogix labs
✅ Fault finding, I/O wiring, safety, and commissioning
Our PLC training courses are designed to help students keep abreast of the latest PLC technologies and techniques available for industrial automation. These courses offer an excellent opportunity for students to ask specific questions and exchange ideas relating to their own applications. For context on modern plant connectivity, see the overview of industrial automation communication standards used in training.
Our PLC training courses are intended for experienced users and will give them greater knowledge of enhanced PLC functionality. Participants also review the benefits of industry networks to understand how network design impacts reliability.
We have three PLC training courses:
Before selecting a pathway, it helps to understand the hierarchical levels of industrial networks that underpin PLC architectures.
PLC Training Basic - Our 12-Hour (2-Day) live online instructor-led industrial automation course is designed to instruct electrical control professionals on how to successfully integrate a PLCs into actual day-to-day industrial electrical processes. The course not only deals with the hardware and software, but all the surrounding systems that must be compatible to achieve a safe and reliable control system. This PLC Training Basic course is generic in nature and applies to all PLC types and manufacturers. We also examine key industrial network components so attendees can better integrate field devices.

PLC Training - Intermediate - Our 12-Hour (2-Day) live online instructor-led industrial automation course is designed to instruct electrical control professionals on how to successfully integrate a PLC into actual day-to-day industrial electrical processes. It not only deals with the hardware and software, but all the surrounding systems that must be compatible to achieve a safe and reliable control system. The curriculum compares common transmission methods in industrial networks to guide protocol selection.
PLC Training Course - Advanced
In the advanced module, we connect control strategies to advanced energy management concepts for measurable performance gains.
Our 12-Hour (2-Day )Advanced PLC Training Course is designed to give students a basic understanding of Programmable Logic Controllers and how PLCs function. This Advanced PLC training course will not make students PLC experts but rather give them a basic understanding of the PLC, the PLC’s functionality and limitations. The PLC training seminar is generic in nature and applies to all types and manufacturers. Case studies include applications like smart city automated level crossings where safety and uptime are critical.
