Programmable Logic Controllers - Beginner
Our Programmable Logic Controllers 5 Day course is a beginner training programme designed to provide learners with the knowledge and practical skills required to program, operate, and fault-find Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs).
PLCs are widely used in industrial automation to control machinery and processes in sectors such as manufacturing, energy, and engineering. This course focuses on developing competence in PLC programming, system design, and diagnostics, preparing learners for roles in automation and control engineering.
The course is the UK's first and only PLC course accredited by City & Guilds. The typical 5 day course usually covers 2 or 3 of the major manufacturers: Siemens S7, Allen Bradley and Mitsubishi (this can be amended to other manufacturers if you have a particular requirement). The course aims to be 90% practical — every student works on their own dedicated training rig and computer.

"venue good. On a personal level I feel sometimes when struggling with some aspects of the programming it could have been broken down into simpler language for me to understand."

"Classroom was very cold. Would have liked to have used newer S7 model/program but still enjoyed going back to S7-200. Great setup with individual laptop having individual plc with individual PB/LED. Would really like to come back for the next level of course."

"Mou was brilliant. He had took the time to go through each subject a few times so we understood it properly and could write each program. He was very funny and inserted a lot of humour when teaching which really helped. 10/10, and will be looking to come back to complete the next training course hopefully soon."
