PLC's for Non-Programmers - Canada Training Seminar

This seminar converts the seemingly complex world of PLC's into practical lessons the average maintenance person can understand. We've taken information from thousands of pages of manufacturers technical manuals, combined it with twenty years of experience and a practical real world philosophy to give you simple, clear and concise solutions to your everyday PLC problems.

This course is perfect for multi-craft maintenance technicians, electricians, or other non-programmers who need a general understanding of PLC's. And because we know time is money, this seminar is designed to have immediate impact so that you can start saving maintenance dollars on costly repairs and service calls today! We approach our students as if they were our own employees. We give them "real world" practical knowledge, and students attending this course are expected to go back to their workplace and immediately apply what they have learned. Now that's "Real World" training!

Course Objectives:

Upon completion of this course, students will receive a training certificate and 1.6 Continuing Education Units indicating that the student has learned to:
